Explanation: The stator windings of single phase induction motors are concentric type. There are usually 3 or more coils per pole each having same or different number of turns.
3. How much of the total slots are used for the reduction of the mmf wave harmonics?
a) 60%
b) 65%
c) 70%
d) 80%
View Answer
Explanation: 70% of the total slots are used for the reduction of the mmf wave harmonics. The remaining 30% are used for accommodating the starting windings.

a) removing the winding
b) insulating the winding
c) grading the winding
d) shading the winding
View Answer
Explanation: 70% of the total slots are used for the reduction of the mmf wave harmonics. The mmf wave harmonics can be still further reduced by grading the winding.
5. What is the formula for the mean pitch factor?
a) mean pitch factor = pitch factor of each coil per pole group + turns in the coil / total number of turns
b) mean pitch factor = pitch factor of each coil per pole group / turns in the coil * total number of turns
c) mean pitch factor = pitch factor of each coil per pole group * turns in the coil * total number of turns
d) mean pitch factor = pitch factor of each coil per pole group * turns in the coil / total number of turns

9. How many design data are present in the design of the stator?
a) 6
b) 7
c) 8
d) 9
View Answer
Explanation: There are 8 design data available in the design of the stator. The design data are running winding, number of turns In running winding, running winding conductors, number of stator slots, size of stator slot, stator teeth, stator core, length of mean turn.
10. What is the range of the current density for the open type motors split phase, capacitor and repulsion start motors?
a) 4-5 A per mm2
b) 3-4 A per mm2
c) 2-4 A per mm2
d) 1-4 A per mm2
View Answer
Explanation: The minimum value of the current density for the open type motors split phase, capacitor and repulsion start motors is 3 A per mm2. The maximum value of the current density for the open type motors split phase, capacitor and repulsion start motors is 4 A per mm2.
11. What is the relation of the number of slots with the leakage reactance?
a) small number of slots, high leakage reactance
b) large number of slots, high leakage reactance
c) large number of slots, small leakage reactance
d) small number of slots, small leakage reactance
View Answer
Explanation: The number of slots is indirectly proportional to the leakage reactance. The larger the number of slots, the lower will be the leakage reactance.
12. What is the formula for the area required for the insulated conductors?
a) area required for the insulated conductors = total number of conductors per slot * 0.785 / diameter of insulated conductor2
b) area required for the insulated conductors = total number of conductors per slot / 0.785 * diameter of insulated conductor2
c) area required for the insulated conductors = total number of conductors per slot * 0.785 * diameter of insulated conductor2
d) area required for the insulated conductors = 1/total number of conductors per slot * 0.785 * diameter of insulated conductor2
View Answer
Explanation: The total number of conductors per slot and the diameter of insulated conductors are calculated. On substitution the area required for the insulated conductors are calculated.
13. The flux density of the high torque machines is 1.8 weber per m2.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The flux density of the general purpose machine is 1.45 weber per m2. The flux density of the high torque machines is 1.8 weber per m2.
14. The flux density of the stator core should not exceed 1.3 weber per m2.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The flux density of the stator core should not exceed 1.5 weber per m2. The range lies between 0.9 – 1.4 weber per m2.
15. What is the formula for the flux density in stator core?
a) flux density in stator core = maximum flux / length of the iron * depth of stator core
b) flux density in stator core = maximum flux * length of the iron * depth of stator core
