Additional Worked Examples For Chapter 6 Further

This document contains worked examples for calculating values related to DC generators. The first example calculates the useful flux per pole for a 4-pole DC shunt generator given its specifications. The second example involves a short-shunt compound generator, calculating (a) the generated emf, (b) efficiency, (c) iron, friction and windage loss, and (d) total fixed losses, given power input/output values and component resistances. Diagrams and step-by-step working are shown for each example.

Worked Example 1
Q

A 4-pole d.c. shunt generator has an armature resistance of 0.018 . The armature is lap-wound with
520 conductors. When driven at 750 rev/min the machine produces a total armature current of 400 A
at a terminal voltage of 200 V. Calculate the useful flux/pole.
