A 150V, DC shunt motor drives a constant-torque load at a speed of 1500rpm. The
armature and field resistances are 2Ω and 150Ω, respectively. The motor draws a line
current of 10A at the given load.
(a) Calculate the resistance that should be added to the armature circuit to reduce the
speed by 50%.
(b) Assume the rotational losses to be 100W. calculate the efficiency of the motor without
and with the added resistance.
(c) Calculate the resistance that must be added to the armature circuit to operate the
motor at the holding condition
