A $$230V,$$ $$250$$ $$rpm.$$ $$100A$$ separately excited $$dc$$ motor has an armature resistance of $$0.5\,\Omega .$$ The motor is connected to $$230V$$ $$dc$$ supply and rated $$dc$$ voltage is applied to the field winding. It is driving a load whose torque speed characteristic is given by $${T_L} = 500$$$$ - 10\omega ,$$ where $$\omega $$ is the rotational speed expressed in $$rad/sec$$ and $${T_L}$$ is the load torque in $$Nm.$$ Find the steady state speed at which the motor will drive the load and the armature current drawn by it from the source. Neglect the rotational losses of the machine.

In a $$dc$$ motor running at $$2000$$ $$rpm,$$ the hysteresis and eddy current losses are $$500$$ $$W$$ and $$200$$ $$W$$ respectively. If the flux remains constant, calculate the speed at which the total iron losses are halved.

A $$dc$$ series motor is rated $$230V,$$ $$1000$$ $$rpm,$$ $$80$$ $$A$$ (refer to Figure). The series field resistance is $$0.11\,\Omega ,$$ and the armature resistance is $$0.14\,\Omega .$$ If the flux at an armature current of $$20A$$ is $$0.4$$ times of that under rated condition, calculate the speed at this reduced armature current of $$20$$ $$A.$$

A separately excited $$DC$$ shunt motor is driving a fan load whose torque is proportional to the square of the speed. When $$100$$ $$V$$ are applied to the motor, the current taken by the motor is $$8$$ $$A,$$ with the speed being $$500$$ $$rpm.$$ At what applied voltage does the speed reach $$750$$ $$rpm$$ and then what is the current drawn by the armature? Assume the armature circuit resistance to be $$1\,\,\,\Omega .$$ Neglect brush drop and mechanical losses.
