  1. A separately excited 300 V DC shunt motor under no load runs at 900 rpm drawing an armature current of 2 A. The armature resistance is 0.5 Ω. and leakage inductance is 0.01 H. When loaded, the armature current is 15 A. Then the speed in rpm is _____.
    1. 450 rpm
    2. 880 rpm
    3. 240 rpm
    4. 580 rpm
Correct Option: B

Given 300 V1
N1 = 900 rpm
Ra = 0.5 Ω
Ia1 = 2 A;
Ia2 = 15 A
∴ Eb1 = 300 – 2 × 0.5 = 299 V
Eb2 = 300 – 15 × 0.5 = 292.5 V

N2
=
Eb2
N1Eb1

⇒ N2 = 900 ×
2925
= 880 rpm
29
