Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 1

What happens if the magnetic neutral axis coincides with the geometric neutral axis in case of DC generator?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 1

In DC machines, two kinds of magnetic fluxes are present (armature flux and main field flux). The effect of armature flux on the main field flux is called as armature reaction.

EMF is induced in the armature conductors when they cut the magnetic field lines. There is an axis along which armature conductors move parallel to the flux lines hence, they do not cut the flux lines while on that plane. This axis is called MNA (Magnetic Neutral Axis).

GNA (Geometrical Neutral Axis) is perpendicular to the stator field axis.

When machine is running on no load, no current is flowing in the armature conductors and only the field winding is energized. In this case, magnetic flux lines of the field poles are uniform and symmetrical to the polar axis. The magnetic neutral axis coincides with the geometric neutral axis.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 5

For a DC Motor for constant load torque, what will happen to the armature current if armature resistance increase?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 5

If we keep an external resistance in armature circuit to increase the armature resistance,


At constant torque load, as armature resistance increases the back emf decreases and armature current increases.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 6

Which type of frame is preferred for motor in moisture surrounding?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 6

Electric motor with totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) frame that does not permit outside air to freely circulate through the interior of the motor. An external fan blows outside air over the frame of the motor to cool it. This motor is arguably the most commonly used motor in ordinary industrial environments. TEFC enclosed motors usually cost more than open motors but offer increased protection against weather, dirt and moisture.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 7

The sheet steel material used in transformer core has:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 7

The steel material used in transformer should cause less core losses.

Permeability is the measure of the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field within itself. Hence, to form a strong magnetic field, the material should offer high permeability.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 10

Which test is used in determining the magnetizing impedance of a transformer?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 10

The open circuit test on transformer is used to determine core losses in transformer and parameters of the shunt branch of the equivalent circuit of the transformer. Hence using open circuit test, we can determine the magnetizing impedance.

The short circuit test on transformer is used to determine copper loss in transformer at full load and parameters of approximate equivalent circuit of transformer.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 11

An alternator has:

This arrangement has the following advantages:

1) The stationary armature coils can be insulated easily

2) Higher peripheral speed can be achieved in the rotor

3) Cooling of the winding is more efficient

4) Only two slip rings are required to give DC supply to the field system

5) Output current can be easily supplied to the load circuit

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 11

The field poles are placed on the stationary part of the machine. Since no commutator is required in an alternator, it is usually more convenient and advantageous to place the field winding on the rotating part (i.e., rotor) and three phase armature windings on the stationary part (i.e., stator).

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 12

The integration of a three phase Alternator with the infinite grid requires which quantities to be same?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 12

For the integration of a three phase Alternator with the infinite grid we need to take care of following:

1) The voltage level of alternator and infinite grid should be same

2) The operating frequency of alternator and infinite grid should be same

3) The phase sequence of alternator and infinite grid should be same

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 13

As compared to D.O.L. starter, star delta starter operates at:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 13

In case of star delta starter, the stator terminals are first connected in star. In star connection, phase voltage is 0.577 times the line voltage. If connected in delta, the line and phase voltage are same.

Now, current through each phase winding is equal to Phase Voltage/impedance of the winding. So, if phase Voltage is reduced, the starting current can be reduced because the impedance remains constant. That's why the motor is started in star connection where voltage reduces by √3 times or 0.577 times thus reducing the starting current.

Hence as compared to D.O.L. starter, star delta starter operates at 58% of full voltage.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 14

A 3-phase induction motor is running on a constant load. If the fuse in one phase blows off the

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 14

When a three-phase motor loses one of the phase supply voltage then it is called single phasing. Single phasing is a case when any one phase out of the three phases fails.

Since one of the phases is now disconnected, current through other two phases will increase to produce the desired torque. The motor will run but would not be able to drive rated load. The uneven torque results in abnormal noise and vibration in motor.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 15

The magnitude of armature current in synchronous motor operation:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 15

In synchronous motor operation, the magnitude of armature current has large value and lags for low excitation. We can observe this by V curves given below.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 16

Which motor is generally used in rolling mills, paper and cement industries?

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 16

The important characteristics of the synchronous motor is its constant speed irrespective of the load conditions and variable power factor operation.

Due to constant speed characteristics, it is used in machine tools, motor generator sets, synchronous clocks, stroboscopic devices, timing devices, belt driven reciprocating compressors, fans and blowers, centrifugal pumps, vacuum pumps, pulp grinders, textile mills, paper mills line shafts, rolling mills, cement mills etc.

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 17

Speed control of single-phase series motor (universal motor) is best obtained by solid-state devices by varying the voltage. Since the speed of these is not limited by the supply frequency and may be as high as 20000 rpm. They are most suitable for applications requiring high speeds.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 18

As per double field revolving theory with slip denoted by:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 18

According to double field revolving theory, we can resolve any alternating quantity into two components. Each component has a magnitude equal to the half of the maximum magnitude of the alternating quantity, and both these components rotate in the opposite direction to each other.

For example, a flux, φ can be resolved into two components 

Each of these components rotates in the opposite direction i.e. if one  is rotating in clockwise direction then the other  

rotates in anticlockwise direction.

In single phase induction motor, let us call these two components of flux as forwarding component of flux ϕf and the backward component of flux ϕb.

The resultant of these two components of flux at any instant of time gives the value of instantaneous stator flux at that particular instant.

 

ϕr = ϕf + ϕb

The forward flux has a slip of s and backward flux have a slip of 2-s. 

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 19

In a single-phase induction motor the stator winding produces a flux which is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 19

Single phase induction motor has distributed stator winding and has squirrel cage rotor. When fed from a single-phase supply, its stator winding produces a flux which is only alternating i.e. one which alternates along one space axis only.

Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 20

A capacitor-start single phase induction motor is switched on to supply with its capacitor and replaced by an inductor of equivalent reactance value. It will:

Detailed Solution for Test: Electrical Machines- 4 - Question 20

In 1-phase induction motors, we are unable to get starting torque. So, we mostly use permanent capacitor split phase starting method. Its main aim is to split the single-phase supply into 2 phases, having time displacement of 90 degrees, also mechanically the 2 windings are placed 90 degrees in space. It gives rotating magnetic field which produces a starting torque & makes it a self-starting motor.

If inductor is used, the motor would not start even if having same reactance. Since coils are inductive so a capacitor or some phase splitting is necessary.
