(g) After reaching the steady state speed, it was observed that drive sometime starts running
to dangerously high speed. What is the possible reason behind that?
(h) To overcome the above mentioned problem, the supervisor appointed an engineer to solve
the issue. The issue stated to the newly appointed engineer is as follows:
The drive operates stably when all the three loads are engaged. But if load-3 is disengaged
from the system, the drive sometime starts running at a very high speed and the operator
has to stop the drive. The engineer studied the complete drive and suggested the supervisor
to additionally connect another drive along with the existing drive. The suggested drive
is as shown in Fig.2. After connecting the new drive with torque Md2 and inertia Jm2 =1
kg-m2 , the steady state operating point of the total drive remains same as earlier with
all the load engaged with the drive train as in (c). Also the total drive does not run at
a very high speed if load-3 is disengaged. Also the no load speed of the drive motors
together is 900 rad/sec. The resultant speed torque characteristics of the total drive
(Md + Md2 ) varies linearly with speed. What is the speed torque characteristic of the
combined drive(Mdc = Md + Md2 )? What is the speed torque equation of the drive with
inertia Jm2 ?

4. A 220 V, 200 A, 750 rpm separately excited motor has an armature resistance of 0.05 ohm. It
is driving a load whose torque is given as Md = (500 0.25N ) N-m, where N is the speed in
rpm. Speeds below rated are obtained by armature voltage control (with full field) and speeds
above rated are obtained by field control (with rated armature voltage).
(a) Calculate motor terminal voltage and armature current when the speed is 400 rpm.
(b) Calculate value of flux as a percent of rated flux when the speed is 1500 rpm.
5. A 230 V, 960 rpm. and 200 A DC separately excited motor has an armature resistance of 0.02
and is running at rated speed and full torque. In this operating condition motor dynamic
braking is applied by connecting an external series resistance. The load torque remains constant
at all operating speed (either positive or negative).
(a) Find the external series resistance required such that the initial instantaneous regenerative
torque developed in the machine becomes twice the rated torque
(b) When the developed torque magnitude reduced to rated torque from double the rated
torque (during regenerative braking), the braking resistance is reduced in such a way that
the developed torque again becomes double the rated torque (as previous). Find what is
the new external resistance? At what time the new resistance is applied?
(c) Find the total time taken by the drive to come to zero speed from the rated speed
(d) Find the power loss in the brake resistance
6. Repeat the above problem with plugging. The voltage applied during plugging is -230 V.
7. A DC shunt motor is running at 500 rpm, driving a load whose torque is same at all speeds.
Armature current is 90 A. The armature resistance drop can be neglected and field circuit
can be assumed to be linear. If source voltage is reduced to 80%, calculate motor speed and
armature current.
8. A 230 V, 870 rpm, 100 A, separately excited DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.05 .
It is coupled to an overhauling load with a torque of 400 N-m. Determine the speed at which
the motor can hold the load by regenerative braking.
9. A 230 V, 1000 rpm, 105 A, separately excited DC motor has an armature resistance of 0.06 .
Calculate the value of flux as a percent of rated flux for motor speed of 1500 rpm when load
is such that the developed motor power is maintained constant at rated value for all speeds
above rated speed.
