A 440 VDC, 60hp, cumulative compound long shunt motor has an armature resistance of .1 Ohm, a series field resistance of ??? Ohms and a shunt field resistance of 80 Ohms. The brush drop is a constant 2 volts. The stray losses are 2.5 kW. The CEMF at rated load is 393 volts. Draw the electrical circuit, then determine the following for the above conditions:
A. The armature current:
B. The power developed by the armature:
C. The resistance of the series field:
D. The starting current if motor is directly connected across the 440 line voltage?
E. The value of a starting resistor to limit the initial current to 150A.
F. The nominal line current when operating at full load?
