Question Paper

1. What is meant by 'armature reaction' Discuss the methods to improve commutation process in a d.c. machine in detail.

The field and armature resistances of a 220 V d.c. shunt machine are 88ohms and 0·05 ohms, respectively. Calculate the total armature power developed when working

as a generator delivering power of 22 kW, and

as a motor taking 22 kW power input.

Discuss the conditions to be fulfilled for parallel operation of two or more d.c. shunt generators.

What are the functions of a starter? Why are small motors connected directly to the supply lines without starters?

Explain Swinburne's Test with neat schematic diagram.

4. Explain the principle of operation of a single·phase transformer and also derive the e.m.f. equation of it.

What are the various losses in a transformer Derive the condition for maximum efficiency.

5. A 10 kVA, 500/250 50 Hz, single-phase transformer has the following test results

OC:500 1·2A; 80W
SC: 50 15 90W

Determine the regulation and efficiency of the transformer at full load and 0·8 power factor lagging.

What do you understand by 'Autotransformer' Discuss the advantages, disadvantages and applications of an autotransformer.

Discuss in detail, the methods for connection of a three-phase transformer.

7. Write technical notes on any two of the following:

Speed Control of DC-Motor

Tap Changing Transformer

Characteristics of DC Shunt and Series Generators
