Question: A 3 0 0 - hp , 4 4 0 - V , 5 6 0 - A , 8 6 3 r / min

A 300-hp,440-V,560-A,863 r/min shunt dc motor has been tested, and the following data were
taken:
Blocked-rotor test:
VA =14.9 V exclusive of brushes
I A =500 A
VF =440 V
I F =7.52 A
No-load operation:
VA =235 V exclusive of brushes
I A =231 A
I F =7.50 A
n =863 r/min
What is this motors efficiency at the rated conditions? [Note: Assume that: 1) the brush voltage drop is 2
V; and 2) the core loss is to be determined at an armature voltage equal to the armature voltage under full
load; and 3) stray load losses are 1 percent of full load.]

(a) For an induction motor, explain the effect of rotor resistance on torque-speed characteristics.
(b) A 400 V,4 pole, 60 Hz, Y-connected wound rotor induction motor is rated at 30 Hp. Its equivalent
circuit parameters are
R1=1, R2=1, X m=20, X1=0.5, X2=0.5, P mech=500, P core=100
For a slip of 0.05, please find: a) The line current; b) The stator copper loss; c) The air-gap power; d) The
power converted from electrical to mechanical form; e) The induced torque; and f) The overall machine
efficiency.
