240-volt self-excited shunt DC motor has field resistance Rf=200ohms and armature resistances Ra=0.25ohms. No-load: Motor is runing with 240V DC souce with no load driven. Runs 1800 rpm and draws 720 watts from the source. Full-load: Motor is runing with 240V DC souce while driving rated load. Runs 1700rpm and draws 6400 watts. Neglect: saturation and rotational power losses. 1. What is power in armature at full-load 2. What is horsepower rating of motor 3. what is output torque 4. whats is starting line current drawn at rated conditions 5.

A 240-volt self-excited shunt DC motor has field resistance Rf=200ohms and armature resistances Ra=0.25ohms.

  • No-load: Motor is runing with 240V DC souce with no load driven. Runs 1800 rpm and draws 720 watts from the source.
  • Full-load: Motor is runing with 240V DC souce while driving rated load. Runs 1700rpm and draws 6400 watts.

Neglect: saturation and rotational power losses.

1. What is power in armature at full-load

2. What is horsepower rating of motor

3. what is output torque

4. whats is starting line current drawn at rated conditions

5. What resistance should be inserted in series with armature circuit to limit the starting armature current to 200% or less of the rated value
