A 400 volts DC shunt motor draws 30 amperes while supplying the rated load at a speed of 120 rad/sec. The armature resistance is 1.0 ohm and the field winding resistance is 250 ohms. Determine the external resistance that must be inserted in series with armature circuit so that, the armature current should not exceed 150% of its rated value, when the motor is plugged. Find the braking torque, at the instant of plugging.

Question
A 400 volts DC shunt motor draws 30 amperes
while supplying the rated load at a speed of
120 rad/sec. The armature resistance is 1.0
ohm and the field winding resistance is 250
ohms. Determine the external resistance that
must be inserted in series with armature
circuit so that, the armature current should
not exceed 150% of its rated value, when the
motor is plugged. Find the braking torque, at
the instant of plugging.
