Exercise 3: Long shunt compound wound dc generator. A long shunt compound wound dc generator running at 16.67r.p.s supplies 11kW at a terminal voltage of 220V. The resistances of the armature, shunt and series fields are 0.05 , 110 and 0.06 respectively. The overall efficiency is 81.5%. Find: 1

a) The total copper loss; b) The iron and friction loss; c) The torque exerted by the prime mover; d) The electrical and mechanical efficiencies. Exercise 2: Shunt motor A six pole, lap wound, 220V, shunt excited dc machine takes an armature current of 2.5A when unloaded at 950rev/min. When loaded, it takes an armature current of 54A from the supply and runs at 950rev/min. The resistance of the armature circuit is 0.18 and there are 1044 armature conductors.

For the loaded condition, calculate: (a) the generated emf; (b) the useful flux per pole; (c) the useful torque developed by the machine. Exercise 3: Three phase asynchronous motor A three phase asynchronous winding motor is supplied under a voltage of 380V50Hz. The stator coupled in star and the rotor in triangle have the same numbers of turns per phase. The resistance between two phases of the motor is 0.2 . At full load test, the absorbed power is measured with the help of two wattmeters W 1 and W 2. The current in the line is I = 45A; the rotative speed: n = 1425rpm. P1 = 16850W, P2 = 6250W. The stator iron losses are equal to 372.5W. The mechanical losses are equal to 400W. Calculate: 1. The number of poles and the synchronism speed. 2. The total stator losses. 3. The power transmitted to the rotor. 4. The slip and the copper losses in the rotor. 5. The useful power and the useful torque of the motor. 6. The reactive power absorbed using the indications of the two wattmeters.
