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

T 2 T 1 = I a 2 I a

Now, given that T∝ N

T 2 T 1 = N 2 N 1

⇒ I a 2 I a 1 = N 2 N 1

It is given that

Ia1=30A and N1=1000rpm

I a 2 = 30 1000 N 2 = 0.03 N 2

And, we know that,

N E f ϕ

N 2 N 1 = E 2 E 1

N 2 N 1 = V I a 2 ( R a + R e x t ) V I a 1 R a

N 2 1000 = 280 0.03 N 2 ( 1 + 10 ) 280 30 ( 1 ) = 280 0.33 N 2 250


250 × N2=280 × 1000 - 330 N2

∴ N2=482.76 rpm
