12. How is the specific electric loading related to copper losses and temperature rise?
a) high specific electric loading gives high copper losses and high temperature rise
b) high specific electric loading gives low copper losses and high temperature rise
c) high specific electric loading gives high copper losses and low temperature rise
d) high specific electric loading gives low copper losses and low temperature rise
View Answer
Explanation: The specific electric loading is directly proportional to the copper losses and the temperature rise. The high specific electric loading gives high copper losses and high temperature rise.
13. High value of the specific electric loading can be used for low voltage machines.
a) true
b) false
View Answer
Explanation: High value of specific electric loading can be used for low voltage machines. This is because the space required for insulation is small.
14. How is the specific electric loading related to the synchronous reactance of the machines?
a) specific electric loading is high, leakage reactance is high, giving low synchronous reactance
b) specific electric loading is high, leakage reactance is low, giving low synchronous reactance
c) specific electric loading is high, leakage reactance is high, giving high synchronous reactance
d) specific electric loading is low, leakage reactance is high, giving high synchronous reactance
View Answer
Explanation: The specific electric loading is directly proportional to the synchronous reactance. If the specific electric loading is high, the synchronous reactance becomes high.
