The following details are known about a 150 hp motor, 240 V, 500 rpm, dc shunt motor. Nominal full load current: 500 A Insulation class: H Weight: 3400 kg
Find
1.The total losses and efficiency at full load.
2.Calculate the approximate shunt filed exciting current if the shunt field causes 20% of the total losses.
3.Calculate the value of the armature resistance knowing that 50% of the total losses at full load are due to armature resistance.
4.With your calculated armature resistance, determine the counter-emf.
5.Determine the torque of the motor at full load.
6.The supply voltage is decreased to 200 V, approximate the speed at this supplied voltage.
