SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. The average power dissipated by an inductor is zero.
S2. Ans.(d)
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. If shunt capacitance is zero the charging current through each disc will be the same. This means that voltage across each disc is the same. This in turn means 100% string efficiency.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Pick-up value = Rated secondary current of C.T. × Current setting
= 5 × 0.5 = 2.5 A
Fault current in relay coil = 2000 × 5/400 = 25 A
∴Plug setting multiplier = 25/2.5 = 10
S5. Ans.(a)
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. In lap winding, No. of parallel paths = No. of poles
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Wave – wound has only two parallel paths.
S8. Ans. (b)
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. in synchronous motor (when excitation kept constant) load is increases –
Pf will be more leading
Armature current increases
Torque angle increases
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. in synchronous motor: –
Stator frame → made up of last iron/welded steel plates
Core → made up of silicon steel
