| -3- Contd. Forward terminal P.D. = 8.68 volts. Hence E.M.F. to overcome ohmic resistance = 5.14 volts. Amperes = 166 Total motor ohms = .031 = R (say) Let field resistance = R_F and armature " = R_A Then R = 1.3R_A + R_F (say) to allow for brush and commutator resistance. Suppose R_F = .6 R_A Then R = 1.9 R_A or R_A = .0163 w R_F = .0098 w These resistances are considered to be their values at 20°C in accordance with assuming engine cold for the value of its turning torque. Resistance of one armature turn at 20°C = (.0163 x 4) / 58 = .00112 w Length of armature turn = 11" approx. Resistance per 1000' = (12000 / 11) x .00112 = 1.22 w. Contd. | ||
