SOLUTIONS
S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. For 1-phase Induction motor: s_f=s & s_b=(2-s).
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. 1-? induction motor is not self-started.
The capacitor is used to introduce a phase difference of 90⁰ between auxiliary and main winding to start the motor.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. In a single-phase induction motor at start, the two revolving fields produces equal and opposite torque in the rotor conductors.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. The effect of shading coil is to produce a shift in the flux from the unshaded portion to the shaded portion of the pole. This shift in flux produces a weak rotating magnetic field and is sufficient to develop a small starting torque.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. The capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor is similar to the capacitor-start type except that the starting winding remains in the circuit after the motor is started. Consequently, such a motor operates at a higher power factor
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. The direction of rotation of shaded-pole motor depends upon which half of the pole is shaded. The rotor runs from unshaded portion to the shaded portion of the pole.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. In case of split-phase motor, the phase shift between currents in the two winding is around 30⁰.
