What happens to the generated voltage of a self excited generator if shunt field resistance is greater than the critical resistance?
it doesn't develop emf ..........
If an ammeter reads up to 1 ampere and its internal resistence is 0.81 ohms what value of shunt resistance is required to increase the range to 10 A?
Pull up a chair. An ammeter with an internal resistance of 0.81 ohms has a max current of 1 amp. We want to increase its range to 10 amps with a shunt resistance. Now focus on this. The shunt will be connected in parallel with the meter. (It's a shunt resistor, so that's what that means.) The max the meter can carry is 1 amp, so the shunt, which is in parallel with the meter, will have to carry 9 amps around the meter. That means the 1 amp through the meter will be added to the 9 amps of shunt current through the shunt resistor to give us the 10 amps of total current that was asked to be measured. Make sense? Review time. The meter carries 1 amp (it's max current) and the shunt carries 9 amps around the meter. That means the shunt has less resistance than the meter so it can carry all that extra current around the meter. How much less is the resistance? That's what will lead us to the answer to the question. We have 0.81 ohms in parallel with some smaller resistance, Rs, the value of the shunt resistor. Focus again. The shunt must carry 9 times as much current as the meter, so the shunt resistor's value must be 1/9th as much as the meter's. Make sense? Let's recap. The meter, with an internal resistance of 0.81 ohms is going to be 9 times as resistive as the resistance of the shunt. The meter will carry 1/9th as much current as the shunt, so the shunt, which carries 9 times the current of the resistor, will be able to carry that much more current because it's only 1/9th as resistive. The shunt resistance, Rs, is 1/9th the value of the internal resistance of the meter, RIm, and that makes the math easy. Rs = RIm / 9 = 0.81 ohms / 9 = 0.09 ohms The shunt will have to have a resistance value of 0.09 ohms. Let's check our work. A max of 1 amp through the meter, whose resistance is 0.81 ohms works out to 0.81 volts dropped across that meter. Em = Im x Rm = 1 amp x 0.81 ohms = 0.81 volts (voltage dropped across the meter) Our shunt will have the same identical voltage drop (it must have!) and 9 amps of current through it, right? Yes. We have the both those bits of data. Let's do the math. Rs = Es / Is = 0.81 volts / 9 amps = 0.09 ohms (the shunt's resistance is 0.90 ohms) Our work checks. And if you were wondering if the second approach could have been used as the primary means of solving the problem, the answer is, "Yes, it can." Either method will solve the problem, and the answer can be checked with the other approach.
If An ammeter shunt has a voltage drop of 50 mega volts when 50 Amps of current flows through it what is the resistance of the shunt?
R = E / I= (50 x 106) / (50)= 1 megohm.Strange for a "shunt". Must be across one heck of a meter movement !It looks like the question was misworded. Instead of 50 megavolts, perhaps it should have been 50 millivolts. In that case the meter/shunt impedance would have been 0.001 ohms. In any case, the actual value of the shunt resistor would depend on the impedance of the meter itself. In the latter (assumed) case, this is probably negligible, so the shunt does appear to be 0.001 ohms.
Advantages of dc shunt motor?
it maintains a constant speed under varing load
Should a Voltmeter always be connected in a series with a component?
Voltmeter should be connected always in parallel to a circuit ANSWER : IT should be in parallel except when used to measure current. Then it should be placed in series across a shunt.
Can a shunt field winding be used as a series field winding in dc series motor?
aster
Why is the shunt field resistance greater than the series field resistance?
In case of series winding total line current is flow through it.line current is very very high.so,to minimize the drop the winding made as low turns and low gauge.hence the resistance is low.in case of shunt winding high resistance winding is used otherwise short circuit the parallel winding.for that winding is made as heavy turns and heavy gauge.
What is critical resistance of the field circuit of a DC generator?
The value of resistance of shunt field winding beyond which the shunt generator fails to build up its voltage is known as " critical resistance at a given speed it is the maximum field resistance with which the shunt generator excite.
What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
What field setting for a dc shunt motor wired in series on high voltage?
A shunt dc motor has quite different characteristics from a series motor. Wired in series, the same current passes through the armature and the field winding and it is most unlikely that a shunt motor would have a field winding that is suitable for this. Therefore a shunt motor cannot be wired as a series motor in general because its field winding is designed for only a small current.
Why does the field winding of a series dc machine has less number of turns than that of a dc shunt machine?
The series winding takes the full load current of the generator. So it require only a few turns to produce the required magnetic field and so the resistance is lower.
What is DC shunt motor?
A shunt DC motor connects the armature and field windings in parallel or shunt with a common D.C. power source. This type of motor has good speed regulation even as the load varies, but does not have the starting torque of a series DC motor
What is the difference between shunt generators and series generators?
1. In Shunt generators armature current is equal to sum of field current and load current whereas in series generators field current and load current is same. 2. Shunt generators field winding has high resistance and large no of turns as compared to series generators. 3. Shunt generator field winding has thin conductor and series generator has thick.
DifferEnces of long vs short shunt DC COMPOUND MOTORS?
the basic difference is ,in short shunt motor the series field winding wont carry any current under no load condition whereas in long shunt motors series winding will carry no load current.....
Why shunt field resistance is high incase of dc shunt motor?
Back emf is proportional to the flux in the field winding.Flux in the field winding is proportional to the mmf in the winding.mmf = current passing through the winding * no of turns in the windingTo attain the required mmf we can use more current and less turns ( or ) less current and more turns .As the power loss in the field winding is considered it isPower loss = Square of voltage / resistanceAs the voltage is constant for a high resistance it is possible to have less losses. So we prefer for high shunt field resistance.As the field resistance is high current is less , so no of turns in the shunt field will be more to attain the required mmf.Answer'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel', so the shunt winding is in parallel with the supply voltage which means its resistance must be relatively high to limit the current passing through it.Incidentally, the back-emf. is not proportional to the flux, but to the rate of change of flux.
What is shunt and series motor?
A series motor is one in which the field windings are in series with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the square of the supply current.'Shunt' is an archaic term for 'parallel'. So a shunt motor is one in which the field winding is in parallel with the armature windings. So the torque is proportional to the supply current.
What happens if field winding of a running dc shunt motor suddenly breaks open?
when the field winding of a running dc shunt motor suddenly breaks open the motor fails to run because in the motor the stationary winding is armature and rotatory is field winding
