  • Question 1
    2 / -0.33
    An 820 Ω resistance with an accuracy of ± 10% carries a current of 10 mA. The current was measured by an analog meter of 25 mA range with an accuracy of ± 2% of full scale. The accuracy in the measurement of power dissipated in the resistor is
    Solution

    Given that, R = 820 ± 10% Ω

    I = 10 mA

    Full scale reading of ammeter = 25 mA ± 2%

    error \(= \pm \frac{2}{{100}} \times 25 = \pm 0.5mA\)

    Power dissipated in the resistor, P = I2R

    By applying logarithmic on both sides,

    ⇒ ln P = ln I2R

    ⇒ ln P = 2 ln I + ln R

    Differentiate w.r.t. ‘P’,

    \(\frac{1}{P} = \frac{2}{I}\frac{{dI}}{{dP}} + \frac{1}{R}\frac{{dR}}{{dP}}\) 

    \(\frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}P}}{P} \times 100 = \frac{{2{\rm{\Delta }}I}}{I} \times 100 + \frac{{{\rm{\Delta }}R}}{R} \times 100\) 

    = 2 × (± 5%) + 10% = 20%
  • Question 2
    2 / -0.33
    Two 50 V full scale PMMC DC voltmeter having figure of merits of 10 kΩ/V and 25 kΩ/V respectively are connected in series. The series combination can be used to measure a maximum DC voltage of _____ (in V)
    Solution

    Sensitivity of meter 1, (S1) = 10 kΩ/V

    Internal resistance of meter 1 (RM1) = 50 × 10 = 500 kΩ

    Sensitivity of meter 2, (S2) = 25 kΩ/V

    Internal resistance of meter 2 (Rm2) = 25 × 50 = 1250 kΩ

    \({I_{FSD1}} = \frac{1}{{{S_1}}} = 0.1\;mA\) 

    \({I_{FSD2}} = \frac{1}{{{S_2}}} = 0.04\;mA\) 

    As these two meters are connected in series the maximum current that can pass through both the meters = min (IFSD1, IFSD2) = 0.04 mA

    Maximum DC voltage = 0.04 × 10-3 (500 + 1250) × 103 = 70 V
  • Question 3
    2 / -0.33
    Which of the instruments exists?
    Solution
    • Moving coil instruments are used as voltmeters and ammeters.
    • Moving iron instruments can be used as ammeter and voltmeter but can’t be used as wattmeter. So, moving iron wattmeter does not exist.
    • Induction type instruments can be used as voltmeter. It is normally used as wattmeter or energy meter.
    • Electrodynamometer type instruments can be used as ammeter, voltmeter and wattmeter.
  • Question 4
    2 / -0.33
    A single-phase energy meter is tested for half an hour run at a supply voltage of 230 V and a load current of 10 A at a 0.8 lag power factor. The dial reading at the start was 57.35 and at the end of the test was 58.25. The error in meter registration in kWh is _______ (up to two decimal places)
    Solution

    Concept:

    Energy consumption is, E = V × I × cos ϕ × t × 10-3 kWh

    And error Am - At

    Where Am = measured value

    At = true value

    Calculation:

    V = 230, I = 10, cos ϕ = 0.8, t = 30 min

    (Energy consumption)t = V × I × cos ϕ × t × 10-3 kW

    \(= 230 \times 10 \times 0.8 \times \left( {\frac{{30}}{{60}}} \right) \times {10^{ - 3}}\)

    (E.C)t = 0.92 kWh

    (E.C)m = 58.25 – 57.35 = 0.90 kWh

    Error = Am - At = 0.90 – 0.92 = -0.02 kWh

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.33

    Which of the following instruments can be used to measure both AC and DC voltages?

    Solution

    PMMC voltmeter is used to measure DC voltages. A moving iron instrument is used to measure both AC and DC voltages.

    Rectifier type instruments are used to measure both AC and DC voltages.

    Electrodynamometer instruments are used to measure both AC and DC voltages.

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.33
    A 300 V, 20 A dynamometer instrument is used as a wattmeter. Its current coil has 0.2 Ω resistance and pressure coil has 20 kΩ resistance with negligible inductance. What is the error in the instrument if it is used to measure the power in a circuit with supply voltage of 300 V, load current of 16 A at 0.4 pf. Assume that the pressure coil is connected across load side.
    Solution

    Given that, Voltage (V) = 300 V

    Current (I) = 16 A

    Current coil resistance (RCC) = 0.2 Ω

    Pressure coil resistance (RPC) = 20 kΩ

    Power factor = cos ϕ = 0.4

    Power (P) = VI cos ϕ = 300 × 16 × 0.4 = 1.92 kW

    As the pressure coil is connected across load side, the error is due to pressure coil resistance.

    Error \( = \frac{{{V^2}}}{{{R_{PC}}}} = \frac{{{{300}^2}}}{{20 \times {{10}^3}}} = 4.5\;W\)

    Percentage error \( = \frac{{4.5}}{{1.92 \times {{10}^3}}} = 0.23\% \)
  • Question 7
    2 / -0.33
    The primary of 200/1 A, 5 VA, 0.8 pf current transformer carries 100 A. The secondary current is 0.495 A. The ratio error of the CT is
    Solution

    Nominal ratio, \({K_n} = \frac{{200}}{1} = 200\)

    Actual transformation ratio,

    \(R = \frac{{{I_p}}}{{{I_s}}} = \frac{{100}}{{0.495}} = 202.02\)

    \(Ratio\;error = \frac{{Nominal\;ratio - Actual\;ratio}}{{Actual\;ratio}} \times 100\)

    \(= \frac{{200 - 202.02}}{{202.02}} \times 100\)

    = -1%
  • Question 8
    2 / -0.33
    A length of cable was tested for insulation resistance using loss of charge method. A capacitance formed by sheath of cable of 300 PF is found to have drop in voltage from 300 V to 100 V in 120 seconds. Calculate the insulation resistance of the cable in MΩ 
    Solution

    Given that = C = 300 pF

    V1 = 300 V

    V2 = 100 V

    t = 120 S

    \({R_{ins}} = \frac{t}{{C\;ln\left( {\frac{{{v_1}}}{{{v_2}}}} \right)}}\)

    \(= \frac{{120}}{{\left( {300 \times {{10}^{ - 12}}} \right)\ln \left( {\frac{{300}}{{100}}} \right)}}\)

    = 0.364 × 106 MΩ 
  • Question 9
    2 / -0.33

    Power in a three-phase star-connected balanced inductive load is measured by two wattmeter method. The phase voltage and phase current are 200 V and 10 A respectively. The power factor of the load is 0.866. Which of the following is/are true regarding the wattmeter readings?

    Solution

    Given that, Vph = 200 V

    ⇒ VL = 200 √3 V

    Iph = IL = 10 A

    Power factor = cos ϕ = 0.866

    ⇒ ϕ = cos-1 (0.866) = 30°

    P1 = VLIL cos (30 + ϕ)

    = 200 √3 × 10 × cos 60°

    = 1732 W

    P2 = VLIL cos (30 - ϕ)

    = √3 × 200 × 10 × cos 0°

    = 3464.1 W

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.33
    A dynamometer type wattmeter is rated at10 A and 400 V with a full-scale reading of 4000 W. the inductance of the voltage circuit is 6 mH and its resistance is 2000 Ω. If the operating frequency is 50 Hz and the voltage drop across the current coil of the wattmeter is negligible, the error in wattmeter at rated voltage and zero power factor will be ________W
    Solution

    Concept:

    % error due to pressure coil inductance in a dynamometer type wattmeter

    % error = (tan ϕ tan β)

    β: impedance angle of pressure coil

    ϕ: power factor angle

    Error = tan ϕ tan β × true power

    Calculation:

    Pressure coil:

    Inductance = 6 mH

    Resistance = 2000 Ω

    Impedance angle \( = \beta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{\omega L}}{R}} \right)\)

    \(\beta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {\frac{{2\pi \times 50 \times 6 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{2000}}} \right)\)

    tan β = 0.94 × 10-3

    Given cos ϕ = 0; sin ϕ = 1

    Error = tan ϕ tan β × true power

    \( = \frac{{\sin \phi }}{{\cos \phi }}\tan \beta \times VI\cos \phi = VI\sin \phi \tan \beta \)

    Error = 400 × 10 × 1 × 0.94 × 10-3

    Error = 3.7699 W ≈ 3.77 Watt
  • Question 11
    2 / -0.33
    A soft iron voltmeter for a minimum reading of 120 V has an inductance of 0.6 H and a total resistance of 2400 Ω. It is calibrated to read correctly at 60 Hz. The series resistance would be necessary to increase the range to 600 V is ______ (in kΩ)
    Solution

    The impedance of the meter on 60 Hz is

    Z = 2400 + j0.6 × 2π × 60

    = 2400 + j72 π

    \(\left| Z \right| = \sqrt {{{\left( {2400} \right)}^2} + {{\left( {72\pi } \right)}^2}} = 2410.63\;V\) 

    Current drawn by the meter for full-scale deflection \(= \frac{{120}}{{2410.63}}A\)

    When it is connected on 600 V, it requires \(\frac{{120}}{{2410}}A\) for full-scale deflection.

    Impedance \(= \frac{{600}}{{120}} \times 2410.63 = 12,053.15{\rm{\Omega }}\)

    The resistance of the meter \(= \sqrt {{{\left( {12053.15} \right)}^2} - {{\left( {72\pi } \right)}^2}}\)

    = 12051 Ω

    The resistance to be inserted to increase the range to 600 V = 12051 – 2400 = 9651 Ω

    = 9.6 kΩ
  • Question 12
    2 / -0.33

    A 100 mv full-scale dual-slope \(3\frac 1 2\) digit DVM has a reference voltage of 75 mV and a first integration time of 75 ms. For an input of [60 + 20 sin (50 πt)] mV, which of the following is/are true?

    Solution

    Given that, reference voltage (Vref) = 75 mV

    First integration time (T1) = 75 ms

    Input voltage = 60 + 20 sin (50 πt)

    DVM measures only average value.

    The measured value = 60 V.

    Vin = 60 V

    Vin T1 = Vref T2

    ⇒ (60)(75) = (75)(T2)

    ⇒ T2 = 60 ms

    Total conversion time (T) = T1 + T2

    = 75 + 60 = 135 ms

    Best resolution \( = \frac{1}{{{{10}^3}}} \times 100\) mv = 0.1 mV

  • Question 13
    2 / -0.33
    For certain dynamometer ammeter, the mutual inductance M varies with deflection θ (expressed in degrees) as M = -5 cos (θ + 30°) mH. If the deflection torque produced by 60 mA current is 18 × 10-6 N.m, the deflection of the instrument is _________(in degrees)
    Solution

    Td = 18 × 10-6 Nm,

    I = 60 mA, M = - cos (θ + 30°) mH

    The deflection torque is, \({T_d} = {I^2}\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }}\)

    \(18 \times {10^{ - 6}}N.m = {\left( {60 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}} \right)^2}\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }}\)

    \(\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }} = \frac{{18 \times {{10}^{ - 6}}}}{{{{\left( {60 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}} \right)}^2}}} = 5\;mH/rad\)

    \(\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }} = \frac{d}{{d\theta }}\;\left( { - 5\cos \left( {\theta + 30^\circ } \right)} \right)\)

    \(\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }} = 5\sin \left( {\theta + 30^\circ } \right) \times {10^{ - 3}}\)

    We know that \(\frac{{dM}}{{d\theta }} = 5\;mH/rad\)

    5 × 10-3 = 5 sin (θ + 30°) × 10-3

    sin (θ + 30°) = 1

    ⇒ θ = 60°
