Solution
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Cranes and hoists require high staring torque. For the higher starting torque requirements dc series motors or 3-ϕ induction motors are used Particularly for traction (Railway) application dc series motor is used. Here, the option (a) is correct.
S2. (b)
The heaters of 1000 W, 250 V will have the resistance of
R=V²/P=((250)²)/1000=62.5 Ω
∴ R_eq=125 Ω
∴ P=V²/R_eq =((250)²)/125=500 W
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Synchronous phase modifier is nothing but over excited synchronous motor operating at leading power factor and used for the voltage control. This differs from a normal synchronous motor as it has no external load on shaft due to which it has smaller shaft. Also for no load the motor can operate at highest possible speed. Hence, for synchronous phase modifier the design consideration parameters are smaller shaft and higher speed.
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Dc shunt motor has the best speed regulation i.e. for the variation in load the speed changes minimum. Hence, we can have a wide ranged speed in the shunt motor applications.
Speed regulation = (N(NL)-N(FL))/N(FL) This speed regulation is low in case of shunt motor.
S5. (b) At maximum power transfer condition, the load resistance = Source resistance
i.e., R_L=R_S (in dc circuit)
From above circuit,
I=V_s/(R_s+R_L )
∴Load power=I^2 R_L = Output power
Loss = I^2 R_s
∵ η =output/input=output/(output+loss)
∵ η=(I^2 R_L)/(I^2 R_L+I^2 R_s )
∵ R_L=R_s
∴ η=(I²R_L)/(2I^2 R_L )=1/2 or η = 50%
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. In the electric welding transformer the secondary side has low voltage and high current (typically 200 to 600 amps) because for electric welding high current is required. Hence, the transformer required for welding is step down type.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. For maximum efficiency (ηmax):
Copper loss (I^2 R)=Iron loss (p_i) So, for ηmax at full load
I_ft^2.R=800 W
At half load, I=I_η/2
∴ Coper loss at half load
P_cu=(I_η/2)^2.R
=800/4=200 Watts
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. For DC motors:
Torque, T= kϕ I_a
ϕ → flux and I_a → current
For series motor ϕ ∝ I_a
∴ T=k.I_a.I_a
∝ T∝I_a^2
For series connection:
Draw input power = V.I
T_A=T_B=kϕ.I=I
Or T=kI^2 …..(i)
For parallel connection:
Each motor will hve the half valu of current now (if the drawn power is constant).
∴ T_parallel∝ϕ.I/2 (for each motor)
Or T_parallel∝1/2 .1/2 (asϕ ∝ I)
Or, T_parallel=kI²/4
From equation (i) and (ii), T_parallel=T/4
S9. (c)
Both lap and wave wound machines.
S10. (d)
Static frequency changers are used for speed regulation.
