Plugging of 220 V separately excited motor (100 A)
Short answer
Assuming Ra = 0.1 ohm, Eb = 210 V and total resistance is (220+210)/200 = 2.15 ohm, so inserted resistance is 2.05 ohm. Initial braking torque is 401.1 N·m, and braking torque at 500 rpm is 303.1 N·m.
A 220 V separately excited motor running at 1000 rpm draws 100 A from the source. The motor is braked by plugging. Calculate (i) Resistance to be inserted in the armature circuit to limit the braking current to twice the full load current, (ii) Initial braking torque, (iii) The braking torque when speed has reduced to 500 rpm.
The armature resistance is not given; assume (a typical value for a motor of this size). Braking current limit A.
Back emf and motor constant
(i) Resistance to be inserted
(ii) Initial braking torque
(iii) Braking torque at 500 rpm
Answer (with = 0.1 Ω): (i) 2.05 Ω, (ii) 401.1 N·m, (iii) 303.1 N·m.
If is neglected: V, , , N·m and at 500 rpm A, N·m.
