1.) Site some commercial or Industrial application of series motor.

--Series motor use in Cranes, hoists, elevators, trolleys and

conveyors. Also in automobile starters.
2.) Explain why the DC series motor cannot be operated without
mechanical load.
--Without mechanical load on the series motor, the current is low, the counterEMF produced by the field winding is weak, and so the armature must turn faster
to produce sufficient counter-EMF to balance the supply voltage.

3.) Described how a light Railways Transit (LRT) system operates and how
its traction motor characterized when the LRT car is about to run?
-- It also dont have a mechanical load where will be slowly when
carrying many people at it start to run.

4.) A DC motor of an electric car has nameplate data as indicated on. To

guarantee its working performance during operation of electric car.
Verify the following.
Nameplate Data
Engine type
Rated Voltage
Rated Power Output
Rated Current
Rated Speed
Stray Power Loss(SPL)
Armature Resistance
Series Field Resistance
Brush Voltage
Design Constant(K)
4.1) Counter
emf
Ec = VT -Ia( Rs+Ra+Rbc)
= 800
3(0.10+0.05+2/3)
Ec = 797.55 volts
4.2) Armature power
developed
Pd = Ia Ec
= 3(797.55)
Pd = 2392 watts

Series motor
800 volts
3.0 HP
3.0 amps
1800 rpm
154.65 watts
0.05
0.10
2.0 volts
1.22x10-7
4.3) Percentage
efficiency
= Po/Pin (100)
= 3 (746) / 3 (746) +154.65
= 93%
4.4) Magnetic flux when operating
at rated speed
= Ec / kN
= 797.55 / 1800 (1.22x10 -7)

 = 3631830.601 weber

9.1 Explain, why the output voltage varies as the load increase?
--Output voltage varies as the load increase because of
the change in terminal voltage is determined by field circuit and
speed held at constant.
9.2 Enumerate the 3 major requisites in the production of output
voltage in DC generator.
-- Magnetic field, Conductor and Relative motion of Field
and Conductor
9.3 If the zero-load voltage of a separately excited dc generator is
110 volts at 1350 rev/min, what will be the voltage if the speed
increases to 1600 rev/min?
If the speed decrease to 110 rev/min?

110
1350 =

V
1600

, V2 = 130.37 volts

110
V
=
1350 110

, V3 = 9 volts
9.4 Identify some the industrial application of DC generator.
--Steam power plant, Hydro Power Plant, Solar power,
Gasoline generators etc.
