Question 1 |
Consider a permanent magnet dc (PMDC) motor which is initially at rest. At t=0, a
dc voltage of 5 V is applied to the motor. Its speed monotonically increases from 0 rad/s
to 6.32 rad/s in 0.5 s and finally settles to 10 rad/s. Assuming that the armature
inductance of the motor is negligible, the transfer function for the motor is
\frac{10}{0.5s+1} | |
\frac{2}{0.5s+1} | |
\frac{2}{s+0.5} | |
\frac{10}{s+0.5} |
Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
\text{Input} &= 5 V \\ \Rightarrow \; R(s)&=\frac{5}{s} \\ \frac{C(s)}{R(s)}&=T.F.=\frac{K}{1+Ts} \\ C(s)&=\frac{5K}{s(1+Ts)} \\ \lim_{s\rightarrow 0}&=5K=10\\ \Rightarrow \; K&=2\\ \text{Steady state speed}&=10 \text{ rad/sec.(Given)} \\ C(s)&=\frac{2}{1+0.5s}\times \frac{5}{s} \\ \Rightarrow \; \lim_{s\rightarrow 0}sC(s)&=10

Question 5 Explanation:
Given separately initiated DC motor,
Field excitaion is constant,
Producing a torque of 500 N-m
\begin{aligned} &\text{At zero speed,}\\ \because \; N&= 0,\; E_b=0\\ E_b &= V-I_aR_a\\ 0&= 100-I_a(0.05)\\ \therefore \; I_{a1} &=\frac{100}{0.05} =2000A\\ T &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}E_bI_a\\ &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}\frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\cdot I_a\\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1&=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP}{A}\phi I_{a1}\;\text{N-m} \\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1 &=kI_{a1} \\ \text{where,}\;\; k &= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP \phi}{A}\\ T_1 &= 500 \text{N-m}, \\ I_{a1}&=2000A\\ k&=\frac{500}{2000}=0.25 \end{aligned}
When motor runs on no-load given all mechanical losses neglected. No-load current is negligible and the voltage drop at no-load can be negligible.
\begin{aligned} \therefore \;\;E_b &\simeq V=150V \\ E_b&= \frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\\ \text{Already solved,}\\ k&=\frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{ZP \phi }{A}\\ \therefore \;\;\frac{ZP \phi }{A} &=2 \pi (k) \\ \therefore \;\; E_b &= 2 \pi (k) \cdot \frac{N}{60}\\ \therefore \;\; E_b&= k \times \omega \\ (\omega : & \text{No-load speed in rad/sec})\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{E_b}{k}\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{150}{0.25}\\ \omega &= 600 \text{rad/sec} \end{aligned}
Field excitaion is constant,
Producing a torque of 500 N-m
\begin{aligned} &\text{At zero speed,}\\ \because \; N&= 0,\; E_b=0\\ E_b &= V-I_aR_a\\ 0&= 100-I_a(0.05)\\ \therefore \; I_{a1} &=\frac{100}{0.05} =2000A\\ T &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}E_bI_a\\ &= \frac{60}{2 \pi N}\frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\cdot I_a\\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1&=\frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP}{A}\phi I_{a1}\;\text{N-m} \\ \text{Let,}\;\; T_1 &=kI_{a1} \\ \text{where,}\;\; k &= \frac{1}{2 \pi}\frac{ZP \phi}{A}\\ T_1 &= 500 \text{N-m}, \\ I_{a1}&=2000A\\ k&=\frac{500}{2000}=0.25 \end{aligned}
When motor runs on no-load given all mechanical losses neglected. No-load current is negligible and the voltage drop at no-load can be negligible.
\begin{aligned} \therefore \;\;E_b &\simeq V=150V \\ E_b&= \frac{\phi ZNP}{60A}\\ \text{Already solved,}\\ k&=\frac{1}{2\pi} \frac{ZP \phi }{A}\\ \therefore \;\;\frac{ZP \phi }{A} &=2 \pi (k) \\ \therefore \;\; E_b &= 2 \pi (k) \cdot \frac{N}{60}\\ \therefore \;\; E_b&= k \times \omega \\ (\omega : & \text{No-load speed in rad/sec})\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{E_b}{k}\\ \therefore \;\;\omega &= \frac{150}{0.25}\\ \omega &= 600 \text{rad/sec} \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} \therefore \; E_{b1} &=120-65(0.8) \\ E_{b1} &= 114.8V\\ N_1&=1200\;\text{rpm} \end{aligned}
Shunt motor takes 2A at no load
\begin{aligned} E_{b2} &=120-1.5(0.8)=118.8 \\ & \text{For shunt motor,}\\ \frac{N_2}{N_1} &= \frac{E_{b2}}{E_{b1}}\\ \therefore \; N_2&=\frac{118.8}{114.8}\times 1200\\ &=1241.81 \text{rpm} \end{aligned}
\begin{aligned} \therefore \; E_{b1} &=120-65(0.8) \\ E_{b1} &= 114.8V\\ N_1&=1200\;\text{rpm} \end{aligned}

Question 7 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
\text{Neglecting rotor loss,}&\\
E_bI_a &= 10kW\\
(V-I_aR_a)I_a &= 10kW\\
(220-I_a(0.02))I_a &= 10000\\
220I_a-0.02I_a^2-10000 &=0 \\
0.02I_a^2-220I_a+10000&=0\\
\text{By sloving,}\;\; & I_a=45.75A\\
\text{Torque corrosponding,}&\\
T&=\frac{60}{2\pi N}E_bI_a\\
\therefore \; T&=\frac{60}{2 \pi (900)}10000\\
&=106.15N-m
\end{aligned}
Separately excited motor,
\therefore \;\;T \propto I_a
For a torque 106.15 N-m
I_a=45.75A
For a torque 70 N-m,
New I_a=\frac{70 \times 45.75}{106.15}=30.16A
Separately excited motor,
\therefore \;\;T \propto I_a
For a torque 106.15 N-m

200 | |
55 | |
550 | |
145 |
Question 8 Explanation:
Given, R_a=0.1\Omega
As, DC generator is connected with DC grid, the output voltage will be constant.
When generator is running at 800 rpm,
Generator emf,
\begin{aligned} E_{a1} &=V+I_{a1}R-a \\ &= 145+150 \times 0.1\\ &= 160V \end{aligned}
When generator is running at 1000 rpm,
Generator emf,
\begin{aligned} E_{a2} &=E_{a1} \times \frac{N_2}{N_1}\\ &= 160 \times \frac{1000}{800}\\ &= 200V \end{aligned}
So, new armature currrent will be,
\begin{aligned} I_{a2} &=\frac{E_{a2}-V}{R_a}\\ &= \frac{200-145}{0.1}\\ &= 550A \end{aligned}
Question 9 |

5.25 | |
10.75 | |
20.25 | |
40.75 |
Question 9 Explanation:
\begin{aligned}
T &\propto N^2 \\
\phi &\propto I_a \\
T &\propto I_a^2\\
\therefore \; N^2 &\propto I_a^2 \\
\therefore \; \frac{N_2}{N_1}&= \frac{I_{a2}}{I_{a1}}\\
\therefore \; 0.5&= \frac{I_{a2}}{30}\\
\Rightarrow \; I_{a2}&=15A \\
&\text{For series motor,}\\
\frac{N_2}{N_1} &= \frac{E_{b2}}{E_{b1}}\times \frac{I_{a1}}{I_{a2}}\\
\therefore \; 0.5 &= \frac{E_{b2}}{E_{b1}} \times \frac{30}{15}\\
\therefore \; \frac{E_{b2}}{E_{b1}}&= 0.25\\
E_{b1} &=220-30(0.4+0.1) \\
E_{b1} &=205V \\
\therefore \; E_{b2}&=51.25V \\
\therefore \; E_{b2} &= V-I_{a2}(R_a+R_{se}+R_{ext})\\
51.25 &= 220-15(0.4+0.1+R_{ext})\\
\therefore \;R_{ext}&=10.75\Omega
