SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Practically constant speed
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Cumulatively compounded motors are used where we require sudden heavy loads
for short duration
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Series motor because
T∝Ia^2 (Before saturation)
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Motor input power = (7.46×1000)/0.85 w
Motor input current = 7460/(0.85×440) = 19.95 A
Ish= 440/200 = 2.2 A
Ia= 19.95 – 2.2 = 17.75 A
Eb= V – Ia Ra= 440 – 17.75 × 0.8 = 425.8
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Power factor unity
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Dynamic impedance of parallel tuned circuit =L/RC
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Capacitive
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. We know Torque Tα ΦIa, As the motor is operating under saturation condition so torque will be independent of flux i.e. T α Ia.
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. Insulation resistance of the cable
R α 1/Length
R2/R1 = L1/L2
Hence, insulation resistance for 50 km length
R2 = (1 x 10)/50
= 0.2 MΩ
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. Power dissipation P=I2R
