Question
Conventional electric drive was introduced in 1891 by Hary Ward Leonard (1861-1915), an
electrical engineer based in Cincinnati to drive passenger lift of large mines in the US. It has
been the major drive for DC motor application throughout the century. However, modem
electric drive has replaced the usage of the Ward-Leonard system in many industrial
applications nowadays.
(a) A 100hp, 250V, 1200 rpm separately excited DC motor with amature resistance of
0.032 and a field resistance of 41.572 initially nuns with VA-250V, Ia=120V and
rotates at 1103 rpm while supplying a constant torque load. If the motor is required to
slow down to 879 rpm with the same load, what would be the firing angle at the 3-phase
240VAC RMS firing circuit connected to the amature circuit of the DC motor?
