Question

A separately-excited DC generator with compensating windings (Fig. 1), that is, effects of armature reaction is negligible, rated at 10 kW, 100 V has a magnetization curve shown in Fig. 2. Assume the generator is driven at 1600 RPM.

a.If Radj can be adjusted as shown, what is the minimum no-load terminal voltage of this generator in volts? (Answer in 2 decimal places)

b. If Radj can be adjusted as shown, what is the maximum no-load terminal voltage of this generator in volts? (Answer in 2 decimal places)

c.What is the setting of Radj in ohms if the generator is operating at its rated conditions (Output power Pout = 10 kW & Terminal voltage VT= 100 V)? (Answer in 2 decimal places)

d. What is the electromagnetic power in kW developed by the armature in Question 3? (Answer in 2 decimal places)
