you are working as a plant electrician. you are told that a large DC motor was returned from the rewind shop and was installed on the previous shift. the motor seemed to operate properly until load was added, the motor then stopped, reversed direction, and began to run at a high speed. what is the probable cause of the trouble, and what would you do to correct the problem?

Q1. Answer the following question briefly (not more than 4 lines) Why the rotor conductors of the squirrel cage rotor are short-circuited and in the case of slip-ring induction motors, the rotor circuit is closed through resistors? Q2. A -3-phase, 8-pole induction motor is required to be operated at about 700 rpm. If supply frequency is 60 Hz, determine its actual speed if slip is 5%. *
The armature winding resistance of a 200 Volt 4-pole DC motor is 2 ohms. Under full load, the armature current of the motor is up to 10 A. Armature coil is parallel wound and has 360 conductors.

Please answer all. Just two to three lines of answer for each question is enough
A three-phase, six-pole, 60 Hz, 230-volt wound rotor motor has its stator connected in delta and its rotor in star. There are 70 percent as many rotor conductors as stator conductors as stator conductors. Calculate the voltage and frequency between slip rings if normal voltage is applied to the stator when, a, the rotor is at rest, b. the rotor slip is 0.04
A 200V long-shunt generator delivers 100A, has an armature resistance of 0.05Ω, a series field resistance of 0.25Ω and a shunt field resistance of 200Ω. If a feeder resistance of 0.05Ω and a brush contact drop of 2.5V are considered, what will be the generated voltage (in Volts) of the machine? use two decimal places if the answer is not exact and do not include the unit anymore.
A belt-driven 0.16 MW shunt-wound DC generator is running at 460 rpm and is supplying full load to a bus bar at 230 V. At what speed will it run if the belt breaks and the machine continues to run taking 9 kW from the bus bar? The armature and the field resistances are 0.05 Ohm and 100 Ohms respectively. The brush contact drop is 2 Volts per brush.
