Question
Q5. (a) Describe the no-load saturation characteristic of a d.c. generator. (6)
(b) A 400V shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.3 ohm and a shunt-field circuit resistance of 300 ohm. Calculate the speed attained by the motor when the current taken from the supply is (i) 30A and (ii) 50A. The open-circuit characteristic of the machine, when driven as a generator at 1500 rev/min, is given by the following figures:
| Field Current (A) | 0.25 | 0.5 | 0.75 | 1.0 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 
| Open−circuit Voltage | 220 | 398 | 515 | 598 | 638 | 662 | 
Neglect the effects of armature reaction (10)
