QUESTION: 105

Armature reaction in a D.C. motor is increased.
Solution: In the armature, an electromotive force is created by the relative motion of the armature and the field. When the machine is used as a motor, this EMF opposes the armature current, and the armature converts electrical power to mechanical power in the form of torque, and transfers it via the shaft. When the machine is used as a generator, the armature EMF drives the armature current, and the shaft's movement is converted to electrical power. In an induction generator, these distinctions are blurred, since the generated power is drawn from the stator, which would normally be considered the field.

A growler is used to check the armature for shorts, opens, and grounds.

Hence, the correct option is (A)

Hence, the correct option is (A).

QUESTION: 111

The simplest way to eliminate the harmonic induction torques is-
Solution: Crawling and cogging are related to space harmonics. The above question is about time harmonics. The speed of an IM with respect to the nth harmonic is nNs where Ns is the synchronous speed of the motor with respect to fundamental voltage harmonic. Moreover 3rd harmonic is destroyed in 3 phase windings of IM.5th harmonic is negative sequence harmonic. Hence it rotates at -5Ns with respect to the rotor speed.7th is a positive sequence harmonic and rotates at 7Ns, 11th negative and so on... For negative sequence harmonics, slip is >1 whereas for positive sequence harmonics s<1 In this way the rotor gets the tendency to reverse its direction of rotation back and forth. Also, additional losses are attached with these harmonics which altogether result in a pulsating nature of torque under non-sinusoidal voltage supply(combination of harmonics)

Hence, the correct option is (C)

QUESTION: 112

Which of the following is of high importance in case of induction heating-
Solution: Induction heating is the process of heating an electrically conducting object (usually a metal) by electromagnetic induction, through heat generated in the object by eddy currents. An induction heater consists of an electromagnet, and an electronic oscillator that passes a high-frequency alternating current (AC) through the electromagnet. The rapidly alternating magnetic field penetrates the object, generating electric currents inside the conductor called eddy currents. The eddy currents flowing through the resistance of the material heat it by Joule heating. In ferromagnetic (and ferrimagnetic) materials like iron, heat may also be generated by magnetic hysteresis losses. The frequency of current used depends on the object size, material type, coupling (between the work coil and the object to be heated) and the penetration depth.

Hence, the correct option is (C)

QUESTION: 113

QUESTION: 115

A capacitor used on 230 V AC Supply should have a peak voltage rating of-
Solution: First, there is the voltage rating. The voltage rating on a capacitor is of course a maximum DC (i.e. a peak) rating. For 50/60Hz mains we're talking about a sinusoidal voltage waveform with an RMS value of for instance 230V, so the DC peak value of such a supply is Vrms⋅√2 or about 1.4 times this quoted value. If you're already dealing with a DC system, there is no math involved. The peak rating of your cap should be more than the peak DC voltage you expect over the device.

For longevity and nonlinear effects at high stresses, it is recommended to keep ample margin on these ratings, especially on the voltage rating. For 230VAC applications, even though typically you wouldn't expect more than about 325V peak over your lines, choose at least a 400V or better even a 450V capacitor. And yes, even when the manufacturer specifies survivability of the part at higher voltages. Survivability does not mean proper operation. It just means that it doesn't blow up and cause a mess.

Hence, the correct option is (A)

The skin effect does not depend on-
Solution: Impedance of round wire[edit] The internal impedance of round wire is given by 5:40.

The internal impedance is complex and may be interpreted as a resistance in series with an inductance. The inductance accounts for energy stored in the magnetic field inside the wire. It has a maximum value of H/m at zero frequency and goes to zero as the frequency increases. The zero-frequency internal inductance is independent of the radius of the round wire.

The internal inductance of round wire vs. the ratio of skin depth to radius. The inductance asymptotically approaches (μ / 8 π ) H/m for large skin depth. The internal inductance is associated with the magnetic field inside the wire. As skin depth becomes small, the inductance goes linearly to zero.

Hence, the correct option is (D)

QUESTION: 118

Electrical appliances are not connected in series because-
Solution: It is because of the entire electrical network of the city, which is parallel. In serial circuits, if only one element is disconnected, the entire circuit is disconnected. would you like your fridge to shut down as soon as you turn your computer off? Would you like your microwave oven to shut down when you turn your hair drier off? NO!!!

And then there is the problem with current and voltage. In a serial circuit, the current passing all elements is equal, but each has different voltages. Current is not dangerous, but high or low voltage is dangerous for all electrical elements.

So, a network of power plugs must be used, so that connecting and disconnecting an element does not shut the whole city's network down, and it does not affect the voltage of other elements.

Also, this network should work in a way that all voltages for all elements are the same (usually about 220 volts) but the current can be different according to the element, no problems there. While the air conditioner uses 10 amperes of current, a laptop computer only uses about 1 ampere. but the voltage for both is 220 v, regardless of how many electrical appliances are connected to the network.

So, a parallel network satisfies both above problems and is ideal.

Hence, the correct option is (C)

QUESTION: 123

The reactance of 1F capacitance when connected to a D.C. circuit is-
Solution: Impedance is just the sum of the DC component, resistance, and the AC component, called reactance. If a circuit has only DC applied to it, then the inductive reactance is zero (short circuit) and the capacitive reactance is infinite (open circuit). The equations you derive for AC analysis will, in principle, work for DC analysis if you recognize that the AC frequency is zero. This will mean replacing inductors with shorts and capacitors with opens. This transition can sometimes be handled by just setting the frequency parameter to a small non-zero value. Or you may have to rework your equations. The concept of impedance in AC circuits really converts to one of resistance in DC circuits.

Hence, the correct option is (B)

QUESTION: 150

The economic size of conductor is determined by-
Solution: Let, area of cross-section of conductor = a

annual interest and depreciation on capital cost of the conductor = C1

annual running charges = C2

Now, annual interest and depreciation cost is directly proportional to the area of conductor.

i.e., C1 = K1a

And, annual running charges are inversely proportional to the area of conductor.

C2 = K2/a

Where, K1 and K2 are constants.

Now, Total annual cost = C = C1 + C2

C = K1a + K2/a

For C to be minimum, the differentiation of C w.r.t a must be zero. i.e. dC/da = 0.

Therefore,

"Kelvin's law states that the most economical size of a conductor is that for which annual interest and depreciation on the capital cost of the conductor is equal to the annual cost of energy loss." From the above derivation, the economical cross-sectional area of a conductor can be calculated

as,

a = √(K2/K1)

QUESTION: 158

The path of the magnetic flux in a transformer has-
Solution: The magnetic path length (MPL) is analogous to the length of a conductor for electrical current - increasing the MPL will increase its reluctance (magnetic 'resistance'). For a given magneto-motive force (MMF) in ampere-turns, the flux produced will depend upon the value of reluctance in ampere-turns per Weber and so an increase in reluctance will produce a decrease in flux. (See Hopkinson's Law) Permeability is analogous to 'conductivity' and depends upon the material as well as the path length and cross-sectional area. Increasing reluctance will decrease permeability.

Hence, the correct option is (D)

QUESTION: 159

At full load, the current induced in the rotor conductor of a 3 phase squirrel cage induction motor is-
Solution: At full load, the current induced in the rotor conductor of a 3 phase squirrel cage induction motor is Nearly equal to the rated current.

According to Faraday’s law, an emf induced in any circuit is due to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage through the circuit. As the rotor winding in an induction motor is either closed through an external resistance or directly shorted by the end ring, and cut the stator rotating magnetic field, an emf is induced in the rotor copper bar and due to this emf a current flows through the rotor conductor. Here the relative speed between the rotating flux and static rotor conductor is the cause of current generation; hence as per Lenz's law, the rotor will rotate in the same direction to reduce the cause i.e. the relative velocity.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Solution: Stringing chart is basically a graph between Sag, Tension with Temperature. As we want low Tension and minimum sag in our conductor but that is not possible as sag is inversely proportional to tension. It is because low sag means a tight wire and high tension whereas a low tension means a loose wire and increased sag. Therefore, we make a compromise between two but if the case of temperature is considered and we draw a graph then that graph is called a Stringing chart.

As Temperature increases then sag will increase but sag is inversely proportional to Tension so Tension will decrease.
