SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. for given series connection,
Voltage rating of bulb = Source voltage
∵P_eff=(100×100)/(100+100)=50 Watt
The total power consumed by each lamp will be 50/2=25 W.
Note: – if Voltage rating of bulb ≠ Source voltage, then above calculation cannot be performed.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. An ammeter is connected in series with the load and most of the current to pass through it. Hence ammeter is connected in series with the low resistance.
it has very low resistance to ensure the correct measurement of current in the circuit. If it is connected in parallel across any load then all current in the circuit will choose the lower resistive path (i.e., ammeter) to cause its circuit to be damaged. Hence it is used in
series.
S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Voltage V = 220 V
Current I = 5 A
Power factor cosφ = 1
Time (t) = 2 hours
Number of revolutions = 1056
Energy consumed = 220 × 5 × 1 × 2 = 2.2 kWh
Meter constant K = Number of revolution/Kwh i.e. (rev/kWh)
K = 1056/2.2 = 480 rev/kWh
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. Mho relay is used for protection of long transmission line.
Important point of mho relay……
Mho relay is a high-speed relay and is also known as admittance relay.
Mho relay comes in the category of the distance relay protection scheme.
Mho Relay is less affected by the power swing.
S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. Phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper, tin, and phosphorus. Phosphorous bronze provides good electrical conductivity and low thermal conductivity.
A slip ring is an electromechanical device that allows the transmission of power from a stationary to a rotating structure. Slip ring in an induction motor is made up of phosphor bronze.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. C_AN=(2πϵo )/ln(Dm/Ds)
Where Dm = Mutual GMD
Ds = self GMD or GMR
So, by increasing mutual GMD, the capacitance of overhead transmission line decreases.
And C_S=(ϵ_o A)/d
So, by increasing height of lower, mutual capacitance decreases.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. corona loss = 242.2/δ×(f+25) √(x/D) (V-V_c )^2×10^(-5) kw\/ km\/phase
Where;
f = System frequency
r = radius of conductor
D = distance between conductor
V = phase voltage (kv,rms)
V_c= Critical disruptive phase voltage
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. for delta connection –
Line voltage (V_L )= Phase voltage (V_ph)
Line current (I_L) = √3× Phase current (I_ph )
S9. Ans.(c)
Sol. Power due to excitation = EV/Xd sinδ .
Power due to saliency or reluctance = (V^2/2 (Xd-Xq))/(Xd×Xq) sin2δ .
Therefore, the power developed by salient pole synchronous machine contains two components.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Power due to saliency or reluctance = (V^2/2 (Xd-Xq))/(Xd×Xq) sin2δ .
If X_d=X_q then P_reluctance=0.
S11. Ans.(c)
Sol. Total core loss initially =W_e+W_h=W_i+W_i=2W_i
Because initially both eddy and hysteresis loss are equal.
When frequency=45HZ and applied voltage = 90 % of rated voltage
B_max=(0.9 V_rated)/(0.9 f_rated )=constant.
∴hysteresis loss W_h ⍺ f
And eddy loss W_e ⍺ f^2
∴ W_h2=0.9 W_h & W_e2=(0.9)^2 W_e=0.81 W_e
∴core loss=0.9W_i+0.81 W_i=1.71 W_i
Reduction in core loss =(2W_i-1.71W_i)/(2 W_i )×100=14.5 %.
S12. Ans.(a)
