Previous gate question Topic Electrical Machines

1. The slip of an induction motor normally does not depend on

(A) rotor speed (B) synchronous speed

(C) shaft torque (D) core-loss component

Ans: Option (D) is correct.

ns = synchronous speed

n = rotor speed

Thus, slip depend on synchronous speed and the rotor speed. Also, torque

increases with increasing slip up to a maximum value and then decreases.

Slip does not depend on core/loss component

2. A 4 point starter is used to start and control the speed of a

(A) dc shunt motor with armature resistance control

(B) dc shunt motor with field weakening control

(C) dc series motor

(D) dc compound motor

ans: Option (A) is correct.

3.A three phase, salient pole synchronous motor is connected to an infinite bus. It is operated at no load a normal excitation. The field excitation of the motor is first reduced to zero and then increased in reverse direction gradually. Then the armature current.

(A) Increases continuously

(B) First increases and then decreases steeply

(C) First decreases and then increases steeply

(D) Remains constant

Ans:  Option (B) is correct.

The Back emf will go to zero when field is reduced, so Current input will be increased. But when Field increases (though in reverse direction) the back emf will cause the current to reduce.

4. A field excitation of 20 A in a certain alternator results in an armature current of 400 A in short circuit and a terminal voltage of 2000 V on open circuit. The magnitude of the internal voltage drop within the machine at a load current of 200 A is

(C) 100 V (D) 1000 V

Ans Option (D) is correct.

Given field excitation of = 20 A

Armature current = 400 A

On open circuit, load current = 200 A

So, Internal resistance = 2000/400 =5 Ω

Internal vol. drop = 5x 200

                              = 1000 V
