Q1) A shunt DC Generator with a lap wound armature has to supply a load of 500 lamps each of 40 W at 220 V. allowing 10 V for the voltage drop in the connecting leads between the generator and the load and drop of 1 V per brush. Calculate the speed at which the generator should be driven; given that the flux per pole is 0.03 Web, the number of armature conductors is 390, and the armature and shunt field resistances are respectively 0.05 ohm and 65 ohm.
