Question: A 7 5 0 hp , 2 5 0 V , 1 2 0 0 rpm dc shunt motor is connected to 2 0 8

A 750 hp ,250V ,1200rpm dc shunt motor is connected to 208V,3-phase, 60Hz line using a 3-phase semi controlled bridge converter. The full-load armature current is 2500A and the armature resistance is 0.004 ohms. Assuming that conduction is continuous, calculate
(a) the firing angle required under full-load condition.
(b) the firing angle so that the motor would run at 600rpm at no load
(c) the firing angle required so that motor develops itit's rated torque of 400rpm.
