Principal Quantities.

No. of armature conductors = 464
Armature resis. at 100°C = .384 ohm.
Field resistance at 80°C = 3.04 ohms.
Cutting in point. = 13.6 volts.
Field turns = 133
Field amperes = 4.47 (at cut-in)
" ampere-turns = 595
Useful flux produced by these ampere turns. = 240,000 (say)
Armature E.M.F. = 13.6 + 1.8
= 15.4
Hot cutting-in speed as shunt machine = N = (60 x 10⁸ x b x E) / (Ø Z P)
= (60 x 10⁸ x 2 x 15.4) / (240,000 x 464 x 4) = 415.
