No document is allowed except the one given to the candidates by the examiners.

PART ONE : TECHNOLOGY 1. Explain why the series field DC motor rotates at high speed at no load when it is supplied at his nominal voltage. 2. For each of the following electrical machines, cite a magnetic material which is used in the manufacturing of the magnetic circuit: a) transformer; b) DC machine stator, c) permanent magnet DC motor. 3. Give the role of the isoptherme in an AC electrical machine. 4. Give the role of the excitation resistance in a DC motor. 5. Give the role of auxiliary commutation poles in a DC motor. 6. Give the differences between an asynchronous squirrel cage motor and an asynchronous wound winding motor. 7. Name the test which is conducted in order to determine iron and friction losses in a DC motor.

2. Plot the curve and determine: a) The emf induced due to residual magnetism; b) The emf generated at the given field resistance when the generator is under normal operation. 3. The useful flux per pole. 4. The residual flux.

Exercise 2: Series motor The starter of a Peugeot 504 (a series motor) takes 200A under a voltage of 12 V. Under these conditions, it runs at 1000rpm and delivers a useful power of 1500W. The constant losses are estimated at 100W. Calculate: a) The power absorbed by the starter. b) Its efficiency. c) Its useful torque. d) The joule losses. e) The total resistance (armature + field windings). f) The back emf of the motor. g) Determine the direct starting current. h) What is the value of the resistance to be connected in series with the motor to limit the starting current to 240A?

Exercise 3: Three Phase asynchronous motor A three phase asynchronous motor, with the stator coupled in delta, is supplied by a network supply of 380V, 50Hz. Each phase of the stator has a resistance 0.4. At no load the motor rotates at 1500rpm and absorbs a power of 1150W; the current in a line is 3.2A. A test at a nominal load, under the same voltage of 380V, 50Hz has given the following results: Slip g = 4%; Power absorbed: Pa = 18.1kW; Line current: I = 32A. 1. For the no load test, calculate: a) the stator copper losses when the motor rotates at no load. b) The stator iron losses knowing that the mechanical losses are 510W. 2. For the nominal load test, determine: a) The power factor. b) The speed of rotation. c) The frequency of the rotor current. d) The stator copper losses. e) The rotor copper losses. f) The useful power. g) The efficiency of the motor. h) The useful torque
