PROBLEM SET NO. 1 – Part B

Solve the following problems completely. Box your final answer/s.


Rounding off should only be done on your final answers with four
decimal places only.

emf and short – circuit current are 300 V and 150 A. The ohmic
resistance of the armature between terminals is 0.18 ohm. The ratio
of effective to ohmic resistance maybe taken as 1.5. Determine the
regulation at 0.8 power factor lagging.
