Question 3
A d.c. shunt-wound generator has armature resistance of 0.125 Ω and a shunt field resistance of 60 Ω. If the generator delivers 100 A at 240 V, calculate the:
- field current;
- armature current;
- generated e.m.f.
Observation
The expected responses were:
Many of the candidates performed well in this question except those that did not use correct symbol for inductance and the sinusoidal voltage.
