Step 1
In a shunt DC motor, the field winding is connected in parallel with the armature winding. The speed of the motor is inversely proportional to the field current. As the field current increases, the magnetic field strength increases, which leads to a decrease in Show more…

A 500-V, d.c. shunt motor has armature and field resistances of 0.5 Ω and 200 Ω respectively. When loaded and taking a total input of 25 kW, it runs at 400 rpm. Find the speed at which it must be driven as a shunt generator to supply a power output of 25 kW at a terminal voltage of 500 V. A dc shunt motor runs at 900 rpm from a 400 V supply when taking an armature current of 25 A. Calculate the speed at which it will run from a 230 V supply when taking an armature current of 15 A. The resistance of the armature circuit is 0.8 Ω. Assume the flux per pole at 230 V to have decreased to 75% of its value at 400 V. 10. A shunt machine connected to 250-V mains has an armature resistance of 0.12 Ω and field resistance of 100 Ω. Find the ratio of the speed of the machine as a generator to the speed as a motor; if line current is 80 A in both cases.

A 500V shunt motor runs at its normal speed of 10 rev/s when the armature current is 120 A. The armature resistance is 0.2 ̩. (i) Determine the speed when the current is 60 A and a resistance of 0.5 ̩ is connected in series with the armature, the shunt field remaining constant. (ii) Determine the speed when the current is 60 A and the shunt field is reduced to 80 per cent of its normal value by increasing resistance in the field circuit.

A 500V DC shunt motor has armature and field resistances of 1.2 Ω and 500 Ω respectively. When running on no load, the current taken is 4A and the speed is 1000 rpm. Calculate the speed when the motor is fully loaded and the total current drawn from the supply is 26A. Find the speed if (i) a resistance of 2.3 Ω is connected in series with the armature (ii) the shunt field current is reduced by 15%.
