SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol.
In and alternator, field flux is ahead of armature field flux in the direction of rotation.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Synchronous motor is not self-starting. It can be made self-starting by providing “Damper winding on ROTOR pole faces and around the pole shoes.
Following is the primary function of damper winding: –
(i) Provides starting torque
(ii) Reduce hunting
(iii) Used for salient pole rotors
(iv) Under normal running condition, damper winding in synchronous machine does not carry and current because the relative velocity between the rotating magnetic field (RMF) of stator and the rotor is zero.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. In case of moving coil meter, Controlling torque Tc = NBIA.
Where, N = no. of turns of the coil, B – magnetic flux density, = A = area of coil.
So, I = 240×10-6 / (100 × 0.04 × 0.03) = 2mA.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Anode must be positive with respect to the cathode so that SCR will be forward biased. To turn on an SCR, a current is to be passed through the gate terminal. Hence it is a current operated device.
With the gate open, if the cathode is made positive with respect to the anode, the junctions J1 and J3 become reverse biased and J2 forward biased. Still the current flowing is leakage current, which can be neglected as it is very small. The SCR is said to be in reverse blocking state and voltage applied is called reverse voltage.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. In a dynamometer type wattmeter, the pressure coil connected across the load terminal is highly Resistive.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Because of the inductance, the current of the pressure coils lags behind the voltage. Thus, the power factor of the wattmeter becomes lagging, and the meter reads high reading and vice-versa.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. inductance of a coil is given by: L=(N^2µA)/l
∴L α N^2
Hence, L increases if number of turns(N) increases.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Relay used for different configuration of transmission lines……
Short transmission line: reactance relay
Medium transmission line: impedance relay
Long transmission line: mho relay
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. PMMC
→ only for DC
→ Scale is uniform
→ Eddy current damping is used
→ F = BIL
→ Torque/Weight ratio is high to reduce frictional errors.
S10. Ans.(a)
