Q4.
(a)
Explain what is meant by the term 'back emf in a dc motor, and what effect
does back emf have on motor starting (there is no call to describe the actual
motor starter).
(b)
The method of connecting the field winding and armature determines the
classification of a dc machine. With the aid of diagrams, outline the connection
differences between separately excited, series, shunt and compound-wound dc
motors.
(c)
A DC shunt motor is known to have a field resistance of 902, and armature
resistance 0.40. During a test of the motor, the following values were obtained;
Supply voltage 250V, line current 40 Amps and motor speed 1800 revs/min.
Determine:
i) the field current
ii) armature current
iii) the motor back emf
iv) the maximum potential power output
v) torque output
vi) the efficiency at this load
