SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. LAP winding: large current & low voltage applications
WAVE winding: high voltage & low current applications
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. The range of efficiency for shaded pole motors is 5% to35%.
Shaded pole motors are used where low torque is acceptable (such as fans) and are usually less than ¼ HP. Due to their very low efficiency, shaded pole motors should only be used in applications where the motor is very small or operates for very short period of time (e.g., shower fan motor).
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Emf induced per conductor=5 V
For Lap wound, number of parallel paths(A)=P=6
No. of conductor per parallel path=300/6=50
∴total emf generated by generator=50×5=250 V
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Pickup current=% current setting× rated secondary current of CT=0.5×5=2.5
PSM=I_f/(Relay current setting×CT ratio)=3000/((0.5×5)×(400/5) )=15.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. The transposition of the conductor equalises the mutual inductance and capacitance between the lines.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. For half wave rectifier: I_rms=I_m/2=10/2=5 A
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Ripple factor=(ripple voltage)/(dc value)=(150×10^(-3))/15=1/100=0.01
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. For half-wave rectifier: V_avg=V_m/π=5/3.14=1.59 V
And V_rms=V_m/2=5/2=2.5 V
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. α=β/(β+1)=100/101=0.99
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. transfer function for phase lag compensator will be
G(s)=((1+Ts))/((1+βTs))
Where, β>1.
For phase lag compensator, pole will be near to origin.
Hence, option (a) is right.
