A four-pole dc generator has 1000 conductors. The flux per pole is 25 mWb. Calculate the EMF induced when the armature is lap connected and run at 1500 rpm. At what speed the generator must be driven to produce the same EMF with the armature winding wave connected?

Case I

P = 4, Z = 1000, Φ = 25 × 10^{−3}  Wb
A = 4, N = 1500 rpm

Induced EMF,                          E = \frac{ΦZNP}{60  A} = \frac{25  ×  10^{-3}  ×  1000  ×  1500  ×  4}{60  ×  4}

For wave winding,                    A = 2 = 625 V
E to be the same,

625 =\frac{ΦZNP}{60  A} = \frac{25  ×  10^{-3}  ×  1000  ×  N  ×  4}{60  ×  2}

or,                                              N = 750 rpm
