A DC shunt generator has an induced voltage of 220 V on open circuit. When the machine is on load the terminal voltage is 200 V. Find the load current if the field resistance is 100 Ω and armature resistance is 0.2 Ω.
Voltage equation for Dc shunt generator, Eb = V + Ia*Ra V = Ish*Rsh Ish = 200/100 = 2 A Eb = V + Ia*Ra 20 = Ia*Ra Ia = 20/0.2 = 100 A I = 100 - 2 = 98 A
1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
