A 250 kW, 400 V, 6-pole dc generator has 720 lap wound conductors. Armature current is ____(a) 625A(b) 6.25A(c) 62.5A(d) 0.625AThis question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.Question is from Armature Reaction topic in division Armature Reaction of DC Machines

Answer»

Right choice is (a) 625A

To explain: Armature current multiplied by the armature voltage is called as rating of a DC generator. THUS, 250 KW is the given rating while 400 V is the armature voltage. So, armature current is EQUAL to 250*1000/400 = 625A.
