A 150 hp, 600 volt, 600 rpm de series-wound railway motor has a combined field and armature resistance (including brushes) of 0.165 N. The full-load current at rated voltage and speed is 186 amps. The magnetization curve at 400 rpm is as follows: Generated emf (V) 375 400 425 450 Field current (A) | 169 | 194 | 225 | 261 | 300 475 Determine the internal starting torque when the starting current is limited to 400 amps. Assume the armature reaction to be equivalent to a demagnetizing mmf which varies with the square of the current. (Note: 1 hp = 746 W.)

A 150 hp, 600 volt, 600 rpm de series- wound railway motor has a combined field and armature
resistance (including brushes) of 0.165 N. The full-load current at rated voltage and speed is
186 amps. The magnetization curve at 400 rpm is as follows:
Generated emf (V) | 375 400 425 450 475
Field current (A) | 169 | 194 || 225 | 261 | 300
Determine the internal starting torque when the starting current is limited to 400 amps. Assume
the armature reaction to be equivalent to a demagnetizing mmf which varies with the square
of the current. (Note: 1 hp = 746 W.)
