Braking
3. A 200V, 10.5A, 2000 rpm shunt motor has the
armature and field resistance of 0.5 and 400
respectively. The motor is operated under dynamic
braking at twice the rated torque and 800rpm.
Calculate the value of braking current and resistor.
(assume linear magnetic circuit)
Plugging
4. A 220V, 970 rpm, 100A DC separately excited
motor has an armature resistance 0.05. It is
brake by plugging from an initial speed 1000rpm.
Calculate;
a. Resistance to be placed in armature circuit to
limit braking to twice the full load value.
b. Braking torque, and
c. Torque when speed has fallen to zero
Speed control
5. Name three techniques that can control speed?
