A compound generator has a generated voltage of 640 V with an armature and a shunt field resistances of 0.04 Ω and 150 Ω, respectively. If the generator has a series field resistance of 0.06 Ω and is connected short shunt, determine the armature current if the terminal voltage is 600 V. Take the total brush drop voltage to be 2 V.
