Instructions: Read everything before you answer. Give what is required from the problem. The first page of your examination booklet is intended for the summary of answers. If in case your answer for a particular item will not fit or will be tedious to rewrite (such as circuits, codes, timing diagrams, graphs, plots, etc.), just indicate the page where it is located. Show your solutions on the right side of your test booklet and make sure it is comprehensible. The left side is intended for scratch, anything written on it will not be considered as part of the solution. Any questions regarding the exam should be directed only to the instructor. Print clearly and legibly. Always keep your paper clean. Use only prescribed examination booklet. Cheating is strictly unacceptable. Allotted time for this exam: 90 min Direction: Answer comprehensively and completely. Show detailed computations for each problem given below.

1. A long shunt compound motor takes a current of 42 A from a 230 VDC source. The armature, series-field, and shunt field resistances are 0.1, 0.2 and 50 ohms, respectively. If the friction and windage losses amount to 400 W, what is the overall efficiency of the machine? prob 560 (rojas) 2. A 10 Hp, 220 v DC shunt motor has an armature resistance and field resistance of 0.25 and 100 ohms, respectively. At rated load, the motor takes a current of 40 A. Determine the value of the starting resistor to be used in order that the armature current will not exceed 200% of the full load value. 3. A 25 kW, 230 V shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.11ohms and a field resistance of 117 ohms. At no load and rated voltage, the speed is 2150 rpm and the armature current is 6.35 A. At full load and rated voltage, the armature current is 115 A and, because of armature reaction, the flux is 6 percent less than its no-load value. What is the full-load speed? 7.16 (fitzgerald) 4. When operated from a 230 VDC supply, a DC series motor operates at 975 rpm with a line current of 90 A. Its armature circuit resistance is 0.11 ohms and its series-field resistance is 0.08 ohms. Due to saturation effects, the flux produced by an armature current of 30 A is 48 percent of that at an armature current of 90 A. Find the motor speed when the armature voltage is 230 v and the armature current is 30 A.
