a) 0.576
b) 0.247
c) 0.487
d) 0.987
View Answer
Explanation: This question is based on the concept of stator voltage control method. The load torque remains constant. S1V12=S2V22=constant. S2=.576.
3. Calculate the average value of the sinusoidal waveform y(t)=4.56cos(77.64πt+4800π÷68).
a) 41 V
b) 0 V
c) 48 V
d) 78 V
View Answer
Explanation: Sinusoidal waveform is generally expressed in the form of V=Vmsin(ωt+α) where Vm represents peak value, ω represents angular frequency, α represents a phase difference. The average value of a sine wave is zero because of equal and opposite lobes areas. Since sine wave is an odd function then the net area of the waveform over a period is Net area = A+(-A) = 0. The average value is Net area÷Time=0.
4. R.M.S value of the periodic square waveform of amplitude 20 V is _______
a) 20 V
b) 18 V
c) 17 V
d) 13 V
View Answer
Explanation: R.M.S value of the periodic square waveform is Vm and r.m.s value of the trapezoidal waveform is Vm÷3½. The peak value of the periodic square waveform is Vm. Vm=20 V.
5. Calculate the time period of the waveform y(t)=sin(.1πt)+cos(.2πt).
a) 20 sec
b) 30 sec
c) 40 sec
d) 10 sec
View Answer
Explanation: The fundamental time period of the sine and cosine wave is 2π. The time period of y(t) is L.C.M {20,10}=20 sec. The time period is independent of phase shifting and time shifting.
6. The V/F control is a part of the synchronous speed changing technique.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: V/F control comes under the synchronous speed changing technique. Speed above or below synchronous speed can be achieved using V/F control.
7. The slope of the V-I curve is 56.489°. Calculate the value of resistance. Assume the relationship between voltage and current is a straight line.
a) 1.5 Ω
b) 1.6 Ω
c) 2.5 Ω
d) 1.4 Ω
View Answer
Explanation: The slope of the V-I curve is resistance. The slope given is 56.489° so R=tan(56.489°)=1.5 Ω. The slope of the I-V curve is reciprocal of resistance.
8. If induction motor air gap power is 28.63 KW and gross developed power is 18.8 KW, then rotor ohmic loss will be _________ KW.
a) 9.83
b) 10.55
c) 15.54
d) 4.74
View Answer
Explanation: Rotor ohmic losses are due to the resistance of armature windings. Net input power to the rotor is equal to the sum of rotor ohmic losses and mechanically developed power. Rotor ohmic losses=Air gap power-Mechanical developed power=28.63-18.8=9.83 KW.
9. Calculate the value of inductive reactance if F=50 Hz and L=12 H.
a) 3768 Ω
b) 2578 Ω
c) 2477 Ω
d) 2456 Ω
View Answer
Explanation: Inductive reactance can be calculated using the relation XL=2×3.14×f×L. The value of inductive reactance is XL=2×3.14×50×12=3768 Ω.
10. Calculate the value of capacitive reactance if F=60 Hz and C=14 H.
a) 189.5 mΩ
b) 252.4 mΩ
c) 244.5 mΩ
d) 244.8 mΩ
View Answer
Explanation: Capacitive reactance can be calculated using the relation Xc=1÷2×3.14×f×L. The value of capacitive reactance is Xc=1÷2×3.14×50×12=189.5 mΩ.
11. Calculate the time period of the waveform v(t)=.6sin(.1πt+8π)+17cos(2πt+π)+ 4tan(.1πt).
a) 88 sec
b) 20 sec
c) 70 sec
d) 43 sec
View Answer
Explanation: The fundamental time period of the sine wave is 2π. The time period of v(t) is L.C.M {20,1,20}=20 sec. The time period is independent of phase shifting and time shifting.
12. Calculate the value of resistance if total heat dissipated is 78 W when 5 A current flows through it.
a) 3.12 Ω
b) 2.24 Ω
c) 1.45 Ω
d) 5.13 Ω
View Answer
Explanation: The resistor is a linear element. It only absorbs real power and dissipates it in the form of heat. The voltage and current are in the same phase in case of the resistor so the angle between V & I is 0°. R=P÷I2=3.12 Ω.
13. The value of slip at the starting of an induction motor is ________
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
View Answer
Explanation: The maximum torque occurs when the slip value is equal to R2÷X2. At the starting, the rotor speed is equal to zero so slip value is 1.
14. The value of the slip of an induction motor during full load condition is ________
a) 0.99
b) .1
c) .8
d) 0
View Answer
Explanation: During full load condition the speed of the rotor is nearly synchronous speed. The value of slip is nearly zero during full load condition.
