Question
A 280 V, separately excited DC motor with armature resistance of 1 Ω and constant field excitation drives a load. The load torque is proportional to the speed. The motor draws a current of 30 A when running at a speed of 1000 rpm. Neglect frictional losses in the motor. The speed, in rpm, at which the motor will run, if an additional resistance of value 10 Ω is connected in series with the armature, is ______. (round off to nearest integer)
Answer :
483 (Range : 480 to 485)
We know that, for separately excited DC motor
T∝ ϕ Ia
As we know that in separately excited machines we generally consider as constant
⇒ T∝ Ia
∴
Now, given that T∝ N
⇒
It is given that
Ia1=30A and N1=1000rpm
⇒
250 × N2=280 × 1000 - 330 N2
∴ N2=482.76 rpm
