Derive the equation for induced emf of a DC machine.

A shunt generator gives full load output of 30 kW at a terminal voltage of 200 V. The armature and field resistances are 0·05 ohm and 50 ohm respectively. Calculate the generated emf.

What are the different tests conducted on a DC machine? Explain Swinburne test.

Why are starters needed in a DC machine? Explain 3-point starter with a neat diagram.

A 460 V series motor runs at 500 rpm taking a current of 40 A. Calculate the speed and percentage change in torque, if the load is reduced and motor takes 30 A. Total resistance of the armature and field circuit is 0·8 ohm.

What are the applications of DC series, DC shunt and compound motors?

Obtain the equivalent circuit of a single phase transformer referred to primary side. Define the parameters involved.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of auto transformers compared to two winding transformers?

In a transformer, the core loss is 100 W at 40 Hz and 72 W at 30 Hz. Find the hysteresis and eddy current losses at 50Hz.

What are the differences between Power and Distribution transformers

Draw the connection diagram and phasor diagram for the following three-phase transformer configurations

Delta -Delta

Star -Delta
