A 220 V, DC shunt motor is operating at a speed of 1440 rpm. The armature resistance is 1.0 Ω and armature current is 10 A. If the excitation of the machine is reduced by 10%, the extra resistance to be put in the armature circuit to maintain the same speed and torque will be
-
- 1.79 Ω
- 2.1 Ω
- 3.1 Ω
- 18.9 Ω
Correct Option: A
Ia1 = 10
Now flux is decreased by 10%, so φ2 = 0.9 φ1
Torque is constant, & T = kT φ Ia
Then, Ia1 φ1 = I a2 φ2
⇒ Ia2 = | = 11.11 A | |
0.9 |
Now , N ∝ | ||
φ |
⇒ | = | × | |||
N2 | Eb2 | φ1 |
= | × | |||
220 - Ia2 (r1 + R) | φ1 |
∴ 1 = | ||
220 - 11.11 (1 + R) |
⇒ 1 + R = 2.79
⇒ R = 1.79 Ω
