Q.18 A 250 V, 50 hp, 1000 rpm d.c. shunt motor drives a load that requires a constant torque regardless of the speed of operation. The armature circuit resistance is 0.04 2. When this motor delivers rated power, the armature current is 160 A. If the flux is reduced to 70% of its original value, find the new value of the armature current.
