what will hapen if we give ac supply to dc motor?..

Answer / apoorv

It depends on whether the field winding of the dc motor is connected in series or in shunt with the armature winding.If it is connected in series,the motor will rotate since the torque,which varies as the product of the armature and field current is always positive.Thus,a positive average torque causes the motor to rotate,however the pulsating nature may cause the commutator segments and brushes to wear out.
Thus only small sized dc motors may be used with ac supply.

Assuming that a dedicated neutral earthing transformer is provided for each GT generator, when the two generators are running in parallel, has consideration been given that the earth fault current from one generator stator winding be split between the two neutral earthing transformers? If so, what adverse impact will this have on the operation of the 59N and 27TN devices?
