Shunt motor loaded speed at 50 A
Short answer
The no-load input of 1.25 kW gives a line current of 5 A, armature current of 4 A, and back emf 249.2 V at 1000 rpm. When loaded with 50 A line current, armature current is 49 A, back emf drops to 240.2 V, and speed becomes 1000 × (240.2/249.2) ≈ 963.9 rpm.
A 1.25 kW, 250 V dc shunt motor on no load runs at 1000 rpm. The armature and field circuit resistance are and respectively. Calculate the speed of motor when it is loaded and draws current of 50 A.
The flux is constant for a shunt motor, so .
The 1.25 kW figure is the motor's input on no load (a 1.25 kW rated motor could not draw 50 A on load), so the no-load line current is A.
Field current: A.
No load (1000 rpm):
Loaded (line current 50 A):
Answer: loaded speed . (If the no-load armature drop is neglected, taking V, the result is rpm.)
