SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Electrodynamometer type instruments has the same calibration in AC and DC.
NOTE: A transfer instrument is one that may be calibrated with a d.c. source and then used without modification to measure a.c This requires the transfer type instrument to have the same accuracy for both a.c and d.c., which have electrodynamometer instruments have.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. A slip test is conducted on synchronous generator to determine Direct and quadrature axis reactance.
From slip test: X_d=V_max/I_min &X_q=V_min/I_max

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. In higher voltage, beyond 33KV, it becomes uneconomical to use pin insulator because size, weight of the insulator become more. Handling and replacing bigger size single unit insulator are quite difficult task. For overcoming these difficulties, suspension insulator is used for HV application.

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. 3-phase synchronous machine rotor construction:
• Salient pole rotor: larger diameter, shorter axial length
• Cylindrical pole rotor: smaller diameter, larger axial length

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Two-value capacitor motor also known as capacitor start capacitor run induction motor.
In a two-value capacitor motor:
At the starting, the two capacitors are connected in parallel.
Starting capacitor is short time rated and is almost electrolytic.
The run capacitor is long time rated and is made of oil filled paper.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. A negative sequence relay is commonly used to protect an alternator.
A relay which protects the electrical system from negative sequence component is called a negative sequence relay or unbalance phase relay.
The negative sequence relay protects the generator(alternator) and motor from the unbalanced load which mainly occurs because of the phase-to-phase faults.
