// Calculating the reactance voltage for a machine with straight line and sinusoidal commutation clc; disp('Example 9.27, Page No. = 9.86') // Given Data Ns = 60;// Number of segments rev = 10;// Number of revolution per second W = 1.5;// Brush width in segments L = 0.2;// Co-efficient of self-induction (in mH) I = 20;// Current per coil // Calculation of the reactance voltage for a machine with straight line and sinusoidal commutation Tc = W/(Ns*rev);// Time of commutation Erav = L*10^(-3)*2*I/Tc;// Average reactance voltage disp(Erav,'Reactance voltage with straight line commutation (Volts)='); disp(%pi/2*Erav,'Reactance voltage with sinusoidal commutation (Volts)='); //in book answers are 3.2 Volts and 5 Volts respectively. The answers vary due to round off error
