(1.1)

Step 1:

For a four pole generator :

The number of conductors Z  is 315 conductors.

Armature resistance is 0.6 image.

Brush resistance is 0.4 image.

The total armature resistance Ra is 0.6 + 0.4 = 1 image.

Flux per pole is 0.1 Wb.

DC generator supplies load of 50 kW at 1000 v.

Armature current is image.

The EMF of a DC generator : image,

image is the emf of the DC Generator.

image.

where Z  is the number of conductors.

N  is the speed of the DC generator.

image is the magnetic flux.

P  is the number of magnetic poles.

a is the number of parallel circuits.

Step 2:

Calculate the emf of the DC Generator.

image

Emf of the DC Generator is 950 v.

EMF of a DC generator : image.

For a four pole generator : P = 4

For wave wound winding : a = 2

image

Speed of the DC generator is 905 rpm.

Solution :

Speed of the DC generator is 905 rpm.
