SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. If conductors are equally spaced then per phase inductance will be same and receiving end voltage will be balanced and communication interference will not take place. So here no need of transposition.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. for induction type instruments –
T_d=kωϕ_1m ϕ_2m sin α
ϕ_1m,ϕ_2m = maximum fluxes produced by the currents
α = phase difference between the two fluxes
So, in induction type instrument deflecting torque depends on the frequency.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Hopkinson’s test is to check the commutation condition at Full-load for large DC machines.
Hopkinson’s: – Also known as Regenerative, back-to-back test and heat run test
