The armature current of a series motor is 60 A when on full-load. If the load is adjusted to that
this current decreases to 40 A, find the new torque expressed as a percentage of the full-load
torque. The flux for a current of 40 A is 70% of that when the current is 60 A.

5 A 4-pole, d.c. shunt motor has a flux per pole of 0.04 Wb and the armature is lap-wound with 720
conductors. The shunt field resistance is 240 Q and the armature resistance is 0.2 Q. Brush contact
drop is 1 V per brush. Determine the speed of the machine when running (a) as a motor taking 60
A and (b) as a generator supplying 120 A. The terminal voltage in each case is 480 V.

A 25-kW shunt generator is delivering full output to 400-V bus-bars and is driven at 950 r.p.m. by belt
drive. The belt breaks suddenly but the machine continues to run as a motor taking 25 kW from the
bus-bars. At what speed does it run? Take armature resistance including brush contact resistance as
6.
0.5 Q and field resistance as 160 Q.
