A variable speed DC motor drives a load that requires a constant torque of 400Nm with the power varies from 5hp to 15hp. The motor is connected to a 300V DC supply. The armature resistance is 0.12 and the armature current remains constant at 40A. The speed of the motor is varied via armature resistance control. [note: 1hp (hoursepower) = 746W]. Determine the rheostat range that is required for this design.
