SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. %Speed regulation=(N_nl-N_fl)/N_fl ×100=(1100-1050)/1050×100=50/1050×100=4.76 %.

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. ACSR stands for aluminium conductor steel reinforced and steel is used for increasing the tensile strength.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. for increasing ground clearance, conductors for high voltage transmission lines suspended from towers.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. for star (γ) – connection: –
Line current (I_L) = Phase current (I_ph )
Line voltage (V_L )=√3×Phase voltage (V_ph )
Or, phase voltage = (Line voltage)/√3
⇒ ▭(V_ph=V_L/√3) – For star connection

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Schrage motor:
Can run on all values of slip, therefore it can work on all power factor.
This motor has three types of windings, out of three windings, two are placed in the rotor and the remaining one is placed in the stator.
The primary and tertiary are housed in the same rotor slots.
3-phase supply is given to the primary with the help of 3-slip rings.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Demand factor is always less than 1.
Demand factor = (maximum demand)/(connected load)

S7. Ans.(a)
Sol.
Load factor = (Avg.load)/(Max.load)

S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. The Zener diode is a specifically designed diode to operate in the breakdown region and keeps the voltage in the circuit to which it is connected as constant. Thus, it is widely used as a voltage regulator.

S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. As we know, the transformer is a static device based on the principle of mutual
induction with no rotating part, so there is no frictional loss.

S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. For 1-phase Induction motor: s_f=s & s_b=(2-s).

S11. Ans.(b)
Sol. |Z|=√(R^2+(X_L-X_C )^2 )=√(4^2+(12-9)^2 )=5 Ω
∴I=V/|Z| =200/5=40 A
∴P=I^2 R=1600×4=6400 W

S12. Ans.(d)
Sol. The pressure coil of an energy meter is highly inductive while for wattmeter it is highly resistive.
