Why series motor is never started on No- load?
Φ α Ia (or) Flux( Φ) is directly proportional to armature Current( Ia).
On No load as Ia is small hence flux produced is also very small.
4. 2 CO-2 K -2
According to speed equation, N α 1/Φ as Eb is almost constant.
So, on a very light load or No load condition as flux is very small, the motor tries to
run at dangerously high speed which may damage the motor mechanically.
Compare Slip ring and squirrel cage motor.

b) Illustrate the different types of classes of duty for an electric motor 12 CO-1 K -2
with suitable diagrams.
1. Now a days, in almost every applications, electric motors are used, and
to control them electrical drives are employed. But the operating time
for all motors are not the same. Some of the motors runs all the time,
and some of the motor's run time is shorter than the rest period.
Depending on this, concept of motor duty class is introduced and on
the basis of this duty cycles of the motor can be divided in eight
categories such as
2. Continuous duty
3. Short time duty
4. Intermittent periodic duty
5. Intermittent periodic duty with starting
6. Intermittent periodic duty with starting and braking
7. Continuous duty with intermittent periodic loading
8. Continuous duty with starting and braking
9. Continuous duty with periodic speed changes
Continuous Duty This duty denotes that, the motor is running long
enough and the electric motor temperature reaches the steady state
value. These motors are used in paper mill drives, compressors,
conveyors etc.
7.
Short Time Duty In these motors, the time of operation is very low and
the heating time is much lower than the cooling time. So, the motor
cooks off to ambient temperature before operating again. These motors
are used in crane drives, drives for house hold appliances, valve drives
etc.
Intermittent Periodic Duty Here the motor operates for some time and
then there is rest period. In both cases, the time is insufficient to raise
the temperature to steady state value or cool it off to ambient
temperature. This is seen at press and drilling machine drives.

8. b) i) Explain about the quadrant diagram of speed-torque characteristics for 6 CO-2 K -2
a motor driving hoist load.
A DC motor may operate in one or more modes (or quadrant) in
variable speed applications.
The major advantage of using DC motor is that the ease of its
control.

• A motor operate in 2 modes – Motoring and braking
Motoring - electrical energy to mechanical energy, support its motion.
(generator) braking – mechanical energy to electrical energy, oppose the
motion.
• Motor can provide motoring & braking for both forward & reverse
direction.
Power developed by a motor is given by the product of speed & torque.

9. a) A 400 V, 750 rpm, 70 A dc shunt motor has an armature of 0.3 ohm. 14 CO-2 K -3
When running under rated conditions, the motor is to be braked by
plugging with armature current limited to 90A. What external
resistance should be connected in series with the armature? Calculate
the initial braking torque and its value when the speed has fallen to
300 rpm. Neglect saturation.
