SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Synchronous motors are not self-starting.
Starting methods:
Starting with the help of an External Prime Mover
Starting with the help of Damper Windings
Damper windings are used to prevent the rotor from losing synchronism in a synchronous machine and this phenomenon is called Hunting.
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Rotor Cu loss=sP_in=0.03×20,000=600 W
∴Rotor Cu loss per phase=600/3=200 W.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. For maximum efficiency: Copper loss=iron or core loss=150 W
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. wave winding is used for HIGH VOLTAGE and low current rating applications.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. If the positive terminal of an external battery is connected to p-type and its negative terminal to n-type of PN junction then such a biasing called forward biasing.
An ideal diode acts as a short circuit or closed switch under forward bias condition and open circuit or open switch under reverse biased condition.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Let the node voltage be V_x.
Applying KCL at the given node, we have:
V_x/1+(V_x+3)/1=3
or V_x = 0 V
∴V_x+3=V
Or V=3 V
