60-HP 230 volt shunt motor problem

In summary, a 220 volt shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.32 ohm and a field resistance of 110 ohms. At no load the armature current is 6 amp and the speed 1800 rpm. If the flux does not vary with load and the current is 62 amp, the speed of the motor is 1650 rpm.

I need some help!

Can you help with these problems?

1. A 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor has a shunt field resistance of 38.3 ohms and an armature resistance of 0.04 ohm. If the resistance in the starter is 0.66 ohm, calculate the current input to the motor at the instant it is started. (Assume a 3 volt brush drop)

2. A 220 volt shunt motor has an armature resistance of 0.32 ohm and a field resistance of 110 ohms. at no load the armature current is 6 amp and the speed 1800 rpm. Assume that the flux does not vary with load and calculate; a.) the speed of the motor when the rated line current is 62 amp (assume a 2 volt brush drop) b.) the speed regulation of the motor.

3. a 240 volt series motor has an armature resistance of 0.42 ohm and a series-field resistance of 0.18 ohm. If the speed is 500 rpm when the current is 36 amp, what will be the motor speed when the load reduces the line current to 21 amp? (assume a 3 volt brush drop and that the flux is proportional to the current.)

4. A 25hp 230 volt 1200 rpm shunt motor has an armature resistance, including brushes, of 0.2 ohm, and the armature current is 92 amp when the machine is operating at rated load and speed. To reduce the speed, a 6.8 ohm resistance is shunted across the armature and a resistance of 1.6 ohms is connected in series with the parallel combination of armature and shunted resistor. If, under the latter conditions, the armature current is 20 amp, calculate the speed of the motor. assume that there is no flux change.

5. A 550 volt long shunt compound motor has an armature resistance of 0.815 ohm and a series field resistance of 0.15 ohm. The full load speed is 1900 rpm when the armature current is 22 amp. a.) At what speed will the motor operate at no load if the armature current drops to 3 amp with a corresponding drop in flux to 88 per cent of the full-load value? (Assume a brush drop of 5 volts at full load and 2 volts at no load.) b.) Calculate the per cent speed regulation of the motor.

Hi detski! :smile:

Show us what you've tried, and where you're stuck, and then we'll know how to help you. :wink:

Start with No. 1. :smile:

I tried solving it and the answer i got was 330.29 amps... is it correct?

here was my solution here:
k=constant
Q=flux
@ no load

1800=[(220-2)-6(.32)]/kQ

@ rated load

speed=[(220-2)-62(.32)]/kQ

[1800/speed]={[(220-2)-6(.32)]/kQ}/{[(220-2)-62(.32)]/kQ}

speed= 1650 rpm


pls. check
 

What is a 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor?

A 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor is an electric motor that is capable of producing 60 horsepower of mechanical energy and operates on 230 volts of electrical energy. It is a type of direct current (DC) motor that uses a shunt field winding to control its speed and torque.

What is a shunt field winding?

A shunt field winding is one of the main components of a shunt motor. It is a coil of wire that is connected in parallel with the armature (rotating part) of the motor. This winding creates a magnetic field that interacts with the armature's magnetic field to produce motion.

What are the common problems encountered with 60-HP 230 volt shunt motors?

Some common problems that can occur with 60-HP 230 volt shunt motors include overheating, loss of power, and damaged or worn-out components such as brushes or bearings. These issues can be caused by factors such as overloading, improper maintenance, or electrical faults.

How can I troubleshoot a 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor problem?

To troubleshoot a 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor problem, you can start by checking the motor's connections, cleaning and inspecting the brushes and commutator, and measuring the resistance of the windings. You can also use a multimeter to check for any electrical faults and consult the motor's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.

When should a 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor be replaced?

A 60-HP 230 volt shunt motor should be replaced if it cannot be repaired or if the cost of repairs outweighs the cost of a new motor. Other indications that a replacement may be necessary include excessive noise, frequent breakdowns, and significant decrease in performance. It is important to consult a professional for an accurate assessment and recommendation.
