Solution
Sol 1. (b)
Relation between torque and supply voltage of an induction motor
T α V²
Sol 2. (a)
Synchronizing power = EV×cosδ/X.
Sol 3. (a)
It is transient in nature and determines the stability while disturbances.
Sol 4. (a)
Damper windings are the dummy windings which help to stabilize the machine during transient instability.
Sol 5. (a)
P(sy,mech) = Poles* P(sy,ele)/2
P(sy,ele)=300 units.
Sol 6. (b)
Power angle should not exceed θ, to operate under normal conditions.
Sol 7. (d)
Armature current and power factor both will vary by varying the dc excitation.
Sol 8. (c)
It’s the synchronous motor which can favorably operate both at leading and lagging power factor.
Sol 9. (b)
In a machine with 2 stator poles and 4 rotor poles spaced equally, the force of attraction will be cancelled due to the force of repulsion, and hence the net electromagnetic torque will be zero.
Sol 10. (c)
Basic torque and EMF expressions are same for both AC and DC machines as the fundamental principles underlying the operation of AC and DC machines are same.
