  • Question 1
    2 / -0.33

    A 230 V DC machine has an emf constant k = 212.21 V-s/Wb-rad and Ra = 0.278 Ω. The field is separately excited and produces 0.01 Wb per pole. Armature current, Ia = 36 A.

    Which of the following is/are true?

    Solution

    Vt = 230 V

    Ia = 36 A, Ra = 0.278 Ω

    DC generator:

    Eg = Vt + Ia Ra

    = 230 + (36) (0.278) = 240 V

    \({\omega _m} = \frac{E}{{k\;{\phi _p}}} = \frac{{240}}{{\left( {212.21} \right)\left( {0.091} \right)}}\) 

    = 113.09 rad/s = 1080 rpm

    DC Motor:

    Eb = Vt - IaRa

    = 230 – (36) (0.278) = 220 V

    \({\omega _m} = \frac{E}{{k\;{\phi _p}}} = \frac{{220}}{{\left( {212.21} \right)\left( {0.01} \right)}}\) 

    = 103.67 = 990 rpm

  • Question 2
    2 / -0.33
    A 3600 rpm, 60 Hz, 13.8 kV synchronous generator has a synchronous reactance of 20 Ω. The generator is operating at rated voltage and speed with the excitation voltage. Ef (phase) = 11.5 kV and the torque angle is δ = 15°. Find the value of stator current (Ia) such that the maximum power can be converted from mechanical to electrical form without loss of synchronism if the field current is unchanged.
    Solution

    At maximum power condition, δ = 90°,

    \({I_a} = \frac{{{{\bar E}_f} - {{\bar V}_{an}}}}{{j{X_S}}}\)

    \( = \frac{{11,500\angle 90^\circ - \frac{{13,800}}{{\sqrt 3 }}\angle 0^\circ }}{{20\angle 90^\circ }}\)

    = 699.52 ∠ 34.72° A
  • Question 3
    2 / -0.33
    A DC machine has total armature ampere conductors of 4500 and total flux in the machine is 0.14 wb. The torque developed in the machine is _________ (in N-m/rad)
    Solution

    Developed torque \(\left( T \right)=\left( \frac{PZ}{2\pi A} \right)\phi {{I}_{a}}\)

    P is number of poles

    Z is number of conductors

    ϕ is flux per pole

    Ia is armature current

    A is number of parallel paths

    Total flux = 0.14 wb

    ⇒ Pϕ = 0.14 wb

    Current in each conductor \(=\frac{{{I}_{a}}}{A}\)

    Armature ampere conductors \(=Z\left( \frac{{{I}_{a}}}{A} \right)\)

    = 4500

    \(\Rightarrow T=\frac{0.14\times 4500}{2\pi }=100.26~N-m/r\)

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.33
    A 10 kW, 200 V, 1200 RPM series DC generator has armature resistance of 0.1 Ω, and field resistance of 0.3 Ω. The frictional and windage loss of the machine is 200 W and brush contact drop is 1 Volt per brush. Find the efficiency (in %) of the machine
    Solution

    Copper loss = I2a(Ra + Rs) = 502 × (0.1 + 0.3) = 1000 W

    Power loss in brush contacts = 2 × Ia = 2 × 50 = 100 W

    Friction and windage losses = 200 W

    Total power loss = 1000 + 100 + 200 = 1300 W

    \(efficiency = \frac{{10000}}{{10000 + 1300}} = 88.49\%\)

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.33
    A 1000 hp, 4 pole, 3 phase, 440 V, 50 Hz, Induction motor has a speed of 1440 rpm on full load. The number of cycles of the rotor voltage makes per minutes will be______
    Solution

    \(syn.\;speed\;{N_S} = \frac{{120 \times 50}}{4} = 1500\;rpm\)

    Full load speed given as 1440 rpm

    \(\therefore \% slip = \frac{{{N_S} - N}}{{{N_s}}} \times 100 = \left( {\frac{{1500 - 1440}}{{1500}}} \right) \times 100 = 4\% \)

    Rotor voltage frequency = s × f = 0.04 × 50 = 5%

    2 cycles/sec

    ⇒ 2 × 60 cycle/min = 120 cycles/min
  • Question 6
    2 / -0.33
    A 250 V, 700 W, 50 Hz, 6 pole single phase induction motor is rotating is clockwise direction with a speed of 960 rpm. The rotor resistance at standstill is 10 Ω. What is the effective rotor resistance is the backward branch of the equivalent circuit in ohms?
    Solution

    Synchronous speed, \({N_S} = \frac{{120f}}{p}\)

    \(= \frac{{120 \times 50}}{6}\)

    = 1000 rpm

    Slip, \(s = \frac{{{N_S} - N}}{{{N_S}}} = \frac{{1000 - 960}}{{1000}}\)

    = 0.04

    Resistance of backward field \(= \frac{{\frac{{10}}{2}}}{{2 - s}}\)

    \(= \frac{5}{{2 - s}} = 2.55{\rm{\Omega }}\)

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.33
    Two identical synchronous machines A and B running at same speed are connected to each other through an inductor. Machine A is supplying an active power to Machine B and Machine B is supplying reactive power to Machine A, then which among the following is correct?
    Solution

    Concept:

    Active power is directly proportional to the load angle i.e. P ∝ δ

    Reactive power is directly proportional to the voltage ∝ V

    Application:

    Machine A is supplying an active power to Machine B i.e.

    ⇒ δA > δB

    Machine B is supplying reactive power to Machine A

    ⇒ |Va| < |Vb|
  • Question 8
    2 / -0.33

    A three-phase synchronous motor rated at 800 hp, 2.4 kV, 60 Hz operates at unity power factor. The line voltage suddenly drops to 1.8 kV, but the exciting current remains unchanged.

    Which of the following statements is/are true?

    Solution

    1) The speed is constant, hence the load does not know that the line voltage has dropped. Therefore, the mechanical power will remain unchanged.

    2) \(P = \frac{{{E_f}{V_t}}}{{{X_S}}}\sin \delta \)

    P, Ef, and XS are the same but Vt has fallen consequently sin δ must increase, which means δ increases.

    3) As δ increases, the poles fall slightly behind their former position.

    4) The terminal voltage is smaller than before, the motor internal voltage is bigger than the terminal voltage and as a result, the power factor will be less than unity and leading.

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.33

    A factory has an overall load of 2.4 MVA at 0.707 lagging pf. The MVA rating of a synchronous motor that would bring the total plant to unity power factor for the following condition is ________

    The motor is used to drive a new load of 0.405 MW and the motor is 91% efficient.
    Solution

    SP = 2.4 ∠cos-1 0.707

    = PP + jQP = 1.697 + j 1.697 MVA

    The reactive power rating of synchronous motor.

    Qp = 1.697 MVAR

    The motor is used to drive a new load of 0.405 MW and the motor is 91% efficient.

    \({S_m} = \frac{{{P_m}}}{{0.91}} + j{Q_m}\) 

    \(= \frac{{0.45}}{{0.91}} + j{Q_m}\) 

    = 0.5 – j 1.697

    MVA rating = 1.769 MVA

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.33

    The following data were obtained from testing a 48 kVA, 4800/240 V, 50 Hz transformer.

    OC test from LV side

    240 V

    2 A

    120 W

    SC test from HV side

    150 V

    10 A

    600 W

     

    The maximum efficiency (in %) of the transformer for 0.8 lagging power factor load is ________ (up to two decimal places)
    Solution

    Concept:

    The efficiency of the Transformer \((\eta ) = \frac{{XS\cos \phi }}{{XS\cos \phi + {P_i} + {X^2}{P_e}}}\)

    Where, X = Fraction of load

    S = Apparent power in kVA

    Pi = Iron losses

    Pcu = Copper losses

    Maximum efficiency of transformer occurred at a fraction of load, \(X = \sqrt {\frac{{{P_i}}}{{{P_{cu}}}}}\)

    In a transformer, a short circuit test is used to find copper losses and the open circuit is used to find core losses.

    Calculation:

    From the given table, iron losses (Wi) = 120 W

    Copper losses (Wcu) = 600 W

    kVA rating of the transformer at maximum efficiency \( = \sqrt {\frac{{{W_i}}}{{{W_{cu}}}}} \times kVA = \sqrt {\frac{1}{5}} \times 48 = 21.467\;kVA\)

    Maximum efficiency, \(\eta = \frac{{21.467 \times {{10}^3} \times 0.8}}{{21.467 \times {{10}^3} \times 0.8 + 120 + 600{{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 5 }}} \right)}^2}}} \times 100 = 98.621\;\% \)

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.33
    A 6-pole, 50 Hz, 3 – phase induction motor running on full load with 4% slip develops a torque of 149.3 N-m at its pulley rim. The friction and windage losses are 200 W and the stator cu and iron losses equal to 1620 W. The efficiency at full load is ____
    Solution

    Synchronous speed, \({N_S} = \frac{{120\;f}}{P}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {N_s} = \frac{{120\; \times \;50}}{6} = 1000\;rpm\)

    Nr = (1 - s) Ns = (1 – 0.04) 1000 = 960 rpm

    Output power \(= {T_{sh}} \times \frac{{2\pi N}}{{60}}\)

    \(= 2\pi \times \frac{{960}}{{60}} \times 149.3 = 15\;kW\)

    Friction and windage losses = 200 W

    Rotor gross output = 15,200 W

    Rotor input \(= 15,200 \times \frac{{1000}}{{960}} = 15,833\;W\)

    Stator cu and iron losses = 1620 W

    Stator input = 15,833 + 1620 = 17,453 W

    Efficiency \(= \frac{{Output}}{{input}} = \frac{{15000}}{{17453}} \times 100\)

    = 85.94%

  • Question 12
    2 / -0.33
    A 3-phase, 4 pole 50 Hz, star connected induction motor, during short circuit test, took 100 A and 30 kW. In case stator resistance is equal to stand-still rotor resistance, the starting torque is
    Solution

    Per phase power \(=\frac{30}{3}=10~kW\)

    \({{I}^{2}}\left( {{r}_{1}}+r_{2}^{'} \right)=10\times {{10}^{3}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}\left( {{r}_{1}}+r_{2}^{'} \right)={{10}^{4}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow {{r}_{1}}+r_{2}^{'}=1\)

    Given, \({{r}_{1}}=r_{2}^{'}\)

    \({{r}_{1}}=r_{2}^{'}=0.5~\text{ }\!\!\Omega\!\!\text{ }\)

    \(Starting~torque~\left( {{T}_{s}} \right)=\frac{180}{2\pi {{N}_{s}}}\times {{I}^{2}}\times \frac{r_{2}^{'}}{s}\) 

    At starting, slip(s) = 1

    Synchronous speed (Ns\(=\frac{120f}{P}=\frac{120\times 50}{4}=1500~rpm\)

    \({{T}_{s}}=\frac{180}{2\pi \times 1500}\times {{\left( 100 \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{0.5}{1}\) 

    = 95.49 N-m
  • Question 13
    2 / -0.33

    A single phase 230V, 50Hz, 4 pole capacitor start IM has Zm = 2.3 + 4j Ω and Za = 7 + 5j Ω  value of starting capacitor is

    Solution

    starting capacitor is added to produce 90° phase difference b/w the Ia, Im

    \(\begin{array}{l} {{\rm{\Phi }}_{\rm{m}}} + {ϕ _{\rm{a}}} = 90\\ ta{n^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{{X_a} - {X_c}}}{{{R_a}}}} \right) + ta{n^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{{X_m}}}{{{R_m}}}} \right) = 90\\ ta{n^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{5 - {X_c}}}{7}} \right) + ta{n^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{4}{{2.3}}} \right) = 90\\ {X_c} = 0.975 \end{array}\)

    \({\tan ^ - }^1\left( {\frac{{5 - {X_c}}}{7}} \right) = 90^\circ - 60.10^\circ \)

    \(\frac{{5 - {X_c}}}{7} = tan 29.89^\circ \)

    Solving this we get

    ∴ C = 3.264 mf

    Note:

    To obtain the maximum torque at starting itself. Then

    ϕm+ 2ϕa = 900
