1. A 500Hp, 600 Volts shunt motor operates at a speed of 495rpm at full load. If the motor
design constant k=1.3x107, flux per pole is 9.1x106 Maxwells. What is the counter emf?

2. A 6 pole, lap-wound armature, having 720 conductors, rotates in a field of 20.35 mWb. If
the armature current is 78 Amp. What is the torque developed by the armature?

3. In a 5Hp, 230 Volts, 1500rpm shunt motor, the resistance of the armature including
brushes is 0.175 ohm and that of the shunt field is 610 ohms. The stray power losses when
the motor delivers rated load at rated voltage is 305 Watts. The efficiency at rated load is
nearest to?

4. A series motor takes 285 Amperes and develops 153 lb-ft when operating at 1200 rpm.
Calculate the torque when the current drops to 210 Amperes and flux is decreased by
18%?

5. A 220 V shunt motor driving its normal load draws an armature current of 50 A from a
220 V DC source. The armature resistance of this motor including brushes is 0.25 ohm.
How much armature current (minimum) will this motor draw from a 200 V dc source when
driving the same load with the field adjusted to maintain the same speed?
6. At rated load, a shunt motor draws an armature current of 50 A from a 230V, dc mains while
running at 1000 rpm. At no load the armature current drops to 5A. if the effect of the armature
reaction has weaken the flux by 12% from no load to full load, determine the speed of the motor
at no load. Assume the armature resistance to be 0.15 ohm?

7. A 400V series motor, having an equivalent armature circuit resistance of 0.5 ohm, takes 44A of
current while running at 650 rpm. What is the motor speed for a line current of 36A?

8. A 220V DC motor has armature resistance of 0.4 ohm, field resistance of 175 ohm and series
resistance of 4 ohms. The machine is connected as a short shunt compound motor to 220V mains.
Calculate the power developed by the armature if the armature current is 30A?
