QUESTION 1: DC MACHINES

1.1 FOUR advantages of a DC series motor are:

  • High starting torque, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications like cranes and traction.
  • Ability to operate on both AC and DC supplies, often referred to as universal motors.
  • Simple construction due to the series connection of field and armature windings.
  • Automatic speed adjustment with load changes, as speed decreases significantly with increasing load.

1.2 Given: VT=240 VV_T = 240 \text{ V}, Rsh=120ΩR_{sh} = 120 \Omega, Rse=0.15ΩR_{se} = 0.15 \Omega, Ra=0.20ΩR_a = 0.20 \Omega.
Assume a long shunt DC compound motor.

1.2.1 The back EMF at no load
No-load: IL=2 AI_L = 2 \text{ A}.

  1. Calculate the shunt field current.

    Ish=VTRsh=240 V120Ω=2 AI_{sh} = \frac{V_T}{R_{sh}} = \frac{240 \text{ V}}{120 \Omega} = 2 \text{ A}
  2. Calculate the armature current.

    Ia=IL−Ish=2 A−2 A=0 AI_a = I_L - I_{sh} = 2 \text{ A} - 2 \text{ A} = 0 \text{ A}
  3. Calculate the back EMF at no load.

    Eb=VT−Ia(Ra+Rse)E_b = V_T - I_a (R_a + R_{se}) Eb=240 V−0 A×(0.20Ω+0.15Ω)=240 VE_b = 240 \text{ V} - 0 \text{ A} \times (0.20 \Omega + 0.15 \Omega) = 240 \text{ V} Eb=240 VE_b = \boxed{240 \text{ V}}

    1.2.2 The torque developed at full load
    Full-load: IL=40 AI_L = 40 \text{ A}, N=1000 r/minN = 1000 \text{ r/min}.

  4. Calculate the shunt field current (assumed constant).

    Ish=VTRsh=240 V120Ω=2 AI_{sh} = \frac{V_T}{R_{sh}} = \frac{240 \text{ V}}{120 \Omega} = 2 \text{ A}
  5. Calculate the armature current.

    Ia=IL−Ish=40 A−2 A=38 AI_a = I_L - I_{sh} = 40 \text{ A} - 2 \text{ A} = 38 \text{ A}
  6. Calculate the back EMF at full load.

    Eb=VT−Ia(Ra+Rse)E_b = V_T - I_a (R_a + R_{se}) Eb=240 V−38 A×(0.20Ω+0.15Ω)=240 V−38 A×0.35ΩE_b = 240 \text{ V} - 38 \text{ A} \times (0.20 \Omega + 0.15 \Omega) = 240 \text{ V} - 38 \text{ A} \times 0.35 \Omega Eb=240 V−13.3 V=226.7 VE_b = 240 \text{ V} - 13.3 \text{ V} = 226.7 \text{ V}
  7. Calculate the power developed in the armature.

    Pd=EbIa=226.7 V×38 A=8614.6 WP_d = E_b I_a = 226.7 \text{ V} \times 38 \text{ A} = 8614.6 \text{ W}
  8. Calculate the angular speed.

    ω=2πN60=2π×1000 r/min60≈104.72 rad/s\omega = \frac{2 \pi N}{60} = \frac{2 \pi \times 1000 \text{ r/min}}{60} \approx 104.72 \text{ rad/s}
  9. Calculate the torque developed.

    Td=Pdω=8614.6 W104.72 rad/s≈82.26 NmT_d = \frac{P_d}{\omega} = \frac{8614.6 \text{ W}}{104.72 \text{ rad/s}} \approx 82.26 \text{ Nm} Td=82.26 NmT_d = \boxed{82.26 \text{ Nm}}

    1.2.3 The shaft power at full load
    Assuming rotational losses are negligible or not provided, the shaft power is approximately equal to the mechanical power developed in the armature.

    Pshaft=Pd=EbIa=8614.6 WP_{shaft} = P_d = E_b I_a = 8614.6 \text{ W} Pshaft=8.61 kWP_{shaft} = \boxed{8.61 \text{ kW}}

    1.3 A DC generator with a differential compound winding has its series field winding connected such that its magnetic flux opposes the magnetic flux of the shunt field winding. This connection results in a decreasing terminal voltage with increasing load.

    \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8] % Armature \draw[thick] (0,0) circle (1.5cm); \node at (0,0) {Armature}; \draw[thick] (0,1.5) -- (0,2); \draw[thick] (0,-1.5) -- (0,-2); % Brushes \draw[fill=black] (-0.5,1.5) rectangle (0.5,1.7); \draw[fill=black] (-0.5,-1.5) rectangle (0.5,-1.7); % Shunt Field \draw[thick] (0,2) -- (2,2) -- (2,0.5); \draw[thick] (0,-2) -- (2,-2) -- (2,-0.5); \draw[thick, decorate, decoration={coil,aspect=0.3,segment length=3mm,amplitude=2mm}] (2,0.5) -- (2,-0.5) node[right, midway] {$R_{sh}$}; % Series Field \draw[thick] (0,2) -- (-2,2) -- (-2,0.5); \draw[thick] (0,-2) -- (-2,-2) -- (-2,-0.5); \draw[thick, decorate, decoration={coil,aspect=0.3,segment length=3mm,amplitude=2mm}] (-2,0.5) -- (-2,-0.5) node[left, midway] {$R_{se}$}; % Load \draw[thick] (2,2) -- (3,2) node[right] {$V_T$}; \draw[thick] (2,-2) -- (3,-2); \draw[thick] (3,2) -- (3,-2); \draw[thick] (3.5,0) node[right] {Load}; % Arrows for current direction (indicating differential connection) \draw[->] (2,1.5) -- (2,0.5); % Shunt current down \draw[->] (-2,1.5) -- (-2,0.5); % Series current down (opposing shunt) \draw[->] (0,1.7) -- (0,2); % Armature current out \draw[->] (0,-1.7) -- (0,-2); % Armature current out \draw[->] (2.5,2) -- (3,2); % Load current \draw[->] (2.5,-2) -- (3,-2); % Load current \end{tikzpicture}

    Note: The diagram shows a long shunt connection, where the series field is in series with the armature, and this combination is in parallel with the shunt field and the load. For differential compounding, the winding direction of the series field is such that its magnetic field opposes the shunt field.

    1.4 If the armature voltage of a DC shunt motor is increased while the load torque remains constant and the field flux is constant, the speed of the motor will increase. This is because with constant load torque and constant field flux, the armature current remains constant. An increase in armature voltage leads to an increase in the back EMF (Eb=VT−IaRaE_b = V_T - I_a R_a), and since EbE_b is proportional to speed (for constant flux), the speed must increase.

    QUESTION 2: AC CIRCUIT THEORY

    Given: Delta-connected load, Zph=(6−j8)ΩZ_{ph} = (6 - j8) \Omega per phase, VL=400 VV_L = 400 \text{ V}, f=50 Hzf = 50 \text{ Hz}.

    2.1 The line current

  10. For a delta connection, the phase voltage is equal to the line voltage.

    Vph=VL=400 VV_{ph} = V_L = 400 \text{ V}
  11. Calculate the magnitude of the phase impedance.

    ∣Zph∣=62+(−8)2=36+64=100=10Ω|Z_{ph}| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-8)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} = 10 \Omega
  12. Calculate the phase current.

    Iph=Vph∣Zph∣=400 V10Ω=40 AI_{ph} = \frac{V_{ph}}{|Z_{ph}|} = \frac{400 \text{ V}}{10 \Omega} = 40 \text{ A}
  13. Calculate the line current for a delta connection.

    IL=3Iph=3×40 A≈69.28 AI_L = \sqrt{3} I_{ph} = \sqrt{3} \times 40 \text{ A} \approx 69.28 \text{ A} IL=69.28 AI_L = \boxed{69.28 \text{ A}}

    2.2 The power factor

  14. Calculate the power factor.

    cos⁡θ=Rph∣Zph∣=6Ω10Ω=0.6\cos\theta = \frac{R_{ph}}{|Z_{ph}|} = \frac{6 \Omega}{10 \Omega} = 0.6

    Since the impedance has a negative imaginary part (capacitive reactance), the power factor is leading.

    cos⁡θ=0.6 leading\cos\theta = \boxed{0.6 \text{ leading}}

    2.3 The active power consumed

  15. Calculate the active power.

    P=3Iph2Rph=3×(40 A)2×6Ω=3×1600×6=28800 WP = 3 I_{ph}^2 R_{ph} = 3 \times (40 \text{ A})^2 \times 6 \Omega = 3 \times 1600 \times 6 = 28800 \text{ W} P=28.8 kWP = \boxed{28.8 \text{ kW}}

    2.4 The reactive power consumed

  16. Calculate the reactive power.

    Q=3Iph2Xph=3×(40 A)2×(−8Ω)=3×1600×(−8)=−38400 VARQ = 3 I_{ph}^2 X_{ph} = 3 \times (40 \text{ A})^2 \times (-8 \Omega) = 3 \times 1600 \times (-8) = -38400 \text{ VAR}

    The negative sign indicates that the load is supplying reactive power (or consuming negative reactive power), which is characteristic of a capacitive load.

    Q=−38.4 kVARQ = \boxed{-38.4 \text{ kVAR}}

    2.5 The apparent power (kVA)

  17. Calculate the apparent power.

    S=3VLIL=3×400 V×69.28 A≈48000 VAS = \sqrt{3} V_L I_L = \sqrt{3} \times 400 \text{ V} \times 69.28 \text{ A} \approx 48000 \text{ VA}

    Alternatively, using PP and QQ:

    S=P2+Q2=(28800)2+(−38400)2=829440000+1474560000=2304000000=48000 VAS = \sqrt{P^2 + Q^2} = \sqrt{(28800)^2 + (-38400)^2} = \sqrt{829440000 + 1474560000} = \sqrt{2304000000} = 48000 \text{ VA} S=48.0 kVAS = \boxed{48.0 \text{ kVA}}
