4. How many kinds of single phase windings are present?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer
Explanation: There are basically 3 kinds of single phase windings. They are concentric, progressive and skein.
5. How are the poles and pitches in the concentric windings?
a) single pole, different pitches
b) different pole, different pitches
c) different pole, single pitch
d) single pole, single pitch
View Answer
Explanation: The concentric windings have a single pole for a common centre. They have different pitches for each individual coil.
6. What is the form of the progressive windings?
a) double layer diamond coil windings
b) single layer diamond coil windings
c) multi layer diamond coil windings
d) three layer diamond coil windings
View Answer
Explanation: The progressive windings is one kind of the stator windings. They are in the form of the single layer diamond coil windings.
7. When is the skein winding made use of?
a) when small amount of relatively small size wire is used
b) when large amount of relatively small size wire is used
c) when large amount of relatively large size wire is used
d) when small amount of relatively large size wire is used
View Answer
Explanation: Skein winding is one of the 3 kinds of single phase windings used. It is used when small amount of relatively small size wire is used.
8. What kind of motor employs the skein winding made use of?
a) maximum horse power single phase induction motor
b) fractional horse power single phase induction motor
c) minimum horse power single phase induction motor
d) zero horse power single phase induction motor
View Answer
Explanation: The skein winding is one of the 3 kinds of single phase induction motor. The skein winding is used when fractional horse power single phase induction motor is used.
9. Which winding is mostly used winding in the single phase induction motor?
a) circular winding
b) concentric winding
c) progressive winding
d) skein winding
View Answer
Explanation: The concentric winding is the most widely used winding. It is also the most flexible winding of the windings used in the single phase induction motor.
10. What is/are the advantages of the skein winding?
a) low cost to wind
b) low cost to insert
c) permits some freedom of choice of distribution
d) low cost to wind, low cost to insert, permits some freedom of choice of distribution
View Answer
Explanation: The skein winding is the low cost to wind and to insert. It also permits some freedom of choice of distribution.
11. What material is used in the tunnel of the rotor of the single phase induction motor?
a) aluminium
b) copper
c) steel
d) wood
View Answer
Explanation: The rotor consists of a block of slotted laminations. The slots form a series of tunnels that are filled with aluminium in its molten state.
12. What type of operations are used in the starting switches?
a) mechanical operation
b) electrical operation
c) centrifugal operation and mechanical operation
d) centrifugal operation
View Answer
Explanation: The starting switch is used to cut the auxillary winding when the motor attains 75% of the full load speed. The switches operate in both the centrifugal as well as mechanical operation.
13. The ac electrolytic capacitor is formed by winding two sheets of etched aluminium foil.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: Modern capacitor start motors employ ac electrolytic capacitors. The ac electrolytic capacitor is formed by winding two sheets of etched aluminium foil, separated by two layers of insulating paper, into a cylindrical shape.
14. The electrolytic capacitor and insulator unit is impregnated using ethylene glycol or a derivative.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: The electrolytic capacitor and insulator unit is impregnated using the ethylene glycol. It is also impregnated using the derivative of ethylene glycol.
15. What is the range of the power factor of electrolytic capacitors?
a) 2-4
b) 4-6
c) 6-8
d) 7-9
View Answer
Explanation: The minimum power factor of the electrolytic capacitor is 6. The maximum power factor of the electrolytic capacitor is 8.
