Question 2. (5 points) A variable speed DC shunt machine has a rated speed of 2000 rpm and it is connected to a mechanical load that requires a constant-torque of 200 Nm. At the rated speed, the armature circuit draws 100 A. The DC supply voltage is 450 V. (b) The speed of the machine is now reduced to 1500 rpm with armature resistance control and the flux remains constant. Determine the required rheostat in the armature circuit to achieve the new speed. (c) Determine the efficiency of the machine for the condition in (b). (d) Sketch a plot that shows the relationship between the speed and the torque. Highlight the range of the required rheostat to vary the speed from 2000 rpm to 1500 rpm.
