SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Peak factor = (Max value)/(RMS value)
Peak factor = I_M/I_rms or V_m/V_rms
For pure sinusoidal wave, its value is 1.41.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Critical resistance is maximum value of field resistance below which shunt generator will excite and voltage will be build up.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Both lap and wave wound machines.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Line loss ∝1/V^2
Line loss will be one fourth of the original value.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. String Efficiency = (Voltage across the string)/(n×Voltage across disc nearest to conductor)

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. Sag,s=(wL^2)/8T
w = conductor weight per unit length
L = span
T = tension
Except these parameters sag also depends upon wind and temperature.

S7. Ans.(c)
Sol.

S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. 1 KWh= 3600000 J

S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. Diversity factor ((Sum of individual maximum demand))/((Coincident maximum demand of whole system) )
Diversity factor is always equals to or greater than 1 and used to determine the plant capacity.

S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. ▭(plant capacity factor=(peak load)/(plant capacity)×load factor)
=(Average demand)/(Plant capacity)
If peak load equals to plant capacity then load factor = capacity factor.
