10. A 440V shunt motor takes an armature current of 30A at 700 rev/min .The armature resistance is
0.7ohm.If the flux is suddenly reduced 20 per cent , to what value will the armature current rise
momentarilyAssuming unchanged resisting torque to motion, what will be the new steady
values of speed and armature current  Sketch graphs showing armature current and speed as
functions of time during the transition from initial to final, steady-state conditions.

Explain how rotating magnetic field is produced in three phase winding with three phase supply. A
4-pole, 3-phase induction motor operates from a supply whose frequency is 50 Hz. Calculate
(i) Speed at which the magnetic field of the stator is rotating, (ii) Speed of the rotor when the
slip is 0.04, (iii) The frequency of the rotor current when the slip is 0.03.
