SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Practically constant speed
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Cumulatively compounded motors are used where we require sudden heavy loads
for short duration.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Series motor because
T∝I_a^2 (Before saturation)
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Characteristic equation is s² + 4s +k = 0
Compared to second ordered standard characteristic equation:
Natural frequency ωn = √k and 2ξωn = 4
Given: ξ = 0.5,
∴ωn = 4 = √k Therefore, k = 16
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. In a split phase induction motor:
The main or running winding has very low resistance and a high inductive reactance
The starting winding has high resistance and low inductive reactance.
Split phase induction motor is also known as resistance start motor.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. corona loss = 242.2/δ×(f+25) √(r/D) (V-V_c )^2×10^(-5) kw\/ km\/phase
Where;
f = System frequency
r = radius of conductor
D = distance between conductor
V = phase voltage (kv,rms)
V_c= Critical disruptive phase voltage
Therefore,
Corona loss ∝ supply frequency and
Corona loss ∝ (Vph – Vc)²
And Vc ∝ r
Therefore, corona loss increases with the decrease in conductor size and increase in supply frequency.
