A 4-pole wave wound DC shunt generator has 35 slots with 12 conductors/slot. Its armature supplies a current of 35 A. If the brushes are given an actual mechanical lead of 10°, what is the demagnetising ampere turns/pole at full load?

Concept:

The demagnetizing ampere-turns per pole in a DC machine is calculated using:

\( AT_d = \frac{\theta_e \times Z \times I_a}{360 \times A} \)

Where:

  • \( \theta_m = 10^\circ \) (mechanical lead)
  • Electrical lead \( \theta_e = 10^\circ \times \frac{4}{2} = 20^\circ \)
  • Total conductors \( Z = 35 \times 12 = 420 \)
  • Armature current \( I_a = 35 \, A \)
  • Wave winding ⇒ \( A = 2 \)
