EXAMPLE 13.4.1
A 250-V, 50-kWshort-shuntcompound dc generator, whose schematic diagram is shown in Figure
E13.4.1(a), has the following data: armature resistance 0.05, series-field resistance 0.05, and
shunt-field resistance 130. Determine the induced armature emf at rated load and terminal
voltage, while taking2Vasthetotal brush-contact drop.
