1 and 2

What is the full-load kilowatt output of a dc generator if the full-load line current is 30 A and the terminal voltage is 115V? A self-excited shunt generator delivers 20 A to a load. Its field current is 1.5 A. What is the armature current?

Solution

1) output power=115*30=3.45 kilowatts.

2) armature current=20+1.5=21.5 amps.

armature current=field current+load current.
