Question: 1 ) A 3 - hp DC motor has the following nameplate information: 1 5 0 V , 1 4 0 0 rpm , 1

1) A 3-hp DC motor has the following nameplate information: 150 V,1400rpm,18 A,, and . The field is shunt connected, and the 18 A includes the field current. Assume rotational losses are constant. [40 pts]
a. Find the efficiency of the motor at nameplate operation (include the field in your calculations).
b. Find the rotational losses at nameplate operation.
c. Find the required current for a developed power of 1.5 hp with .
d. Find the output power if the developed power is 1.5 hp with .
e. Find the shaft speed if the developed power is 1.5 hp with .
f. A deranged Mouse chews through part of the field winding so that the field current drops and the field flux drops to 40% of its former value, find the shaft speed if the developed power is still 1.5 hp with .
g. Find the load torque if the developed power is still 1.5 hp with .
