SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. The primary and secondary windings of a transformer are wound on the top of each other in order to reduce leakage reactance.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. If a dynamometer type wattmeter is connected in an ac circuit, the power indicated by the wattmeter will be average power.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Three wattmeter method of power measurement can be used to measure power in both balanced and unbalanced circuits.
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. f_V/f_H =(number of horizontal tangencies)/(number of vertical tangencies)=5/2
∴f_V=5/2×100=250 Hz.
S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. Changing the field excitation is governed reactive power.
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Thermo couple instruments can be used for both AC as well as DC applications. These instruments are very useful and accurate to measure current and voltages at very high frequencies.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Moving coil is voltage coil and must have high resistance.
Generally, a high resistance is connected in series with the moving coil to limit the current through it. By limiting the current, the moving coil is made lightweight, which in turn increases the sensitivity of the instrument.
S8. Ans.(a)
Sol. Pm=(Ef Vt)/Zs -(Ef^2)/(Zs^2 )×ra=(500)^2/10 (1-1/10)=22500 W
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. synchronous generator
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Tst/Tfl =(Ist/Ifl )^2 sfl
ACQ: Tst=T_fl
∴I_st/I_fl =√(1/sfl =1/(4/((100)))=25)=5
