A field coil of a shunt motor has a resistance of 45 Ω at 20° C. Find the average temperature of the winding at the end of the run when the resistance is increased to 48 Ω. The temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004/°C.
A field coil of a shunt motor has a resistance of 45 Ω at 20° C. Find the average temperature of the winding at the end of the run when the resistance is increased to 48 Ω. The temperature coefficient of resistance is 0.004/°C. Correct Answer 38° C
Concept:
Resistance at a temperature t is given by
Rt = R0(1 + α Δt)
Where Rt = resistance at final temperature
R0 = resistance at initial temperature
α = temperature coefficient
Δt = change in temperature
Calculation:
Given Rt = 48 ohm
R0 = 45 ohm
α = 0.004/° C
48 = 45 (1 + 0.004 × Δt)
⇒ Δt = 16.67°
Δt = T2 - T1
Final temperature, T2 = 20 + 16.67 = 36.67° ≈ 38°
