This set of Electrical Machines Quiz focuses on “Phasor Diagram of a Cylindrical Rotor Alternator”.

1. The flux addition is due to ______________

(i) sinusoidal distribution of mmfs
(ii) zero relative velocity between two mmfs
(iii) spatial distribution of three phases by 120°

a) (i), (ii)
b) (i), (ii), (iii)
c) (iii)
d) (ii), (iii)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Flux addition in ac machines is due to sinusoidal flux distribution and they must be stationary with respect to each other.

2. If the resultant flux will not be in phase with the resultant mmf Fr. This is due to __________
a) hysteresis effect
b) armature reaction
c) hysteresis effect and armature reaction
d) eddy currents
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Hysteresis effect causes the flux to be lagging in nature.

5. If it is assumed that the iron part of magnetic circuit requires zero mmf, relation between Ef and If will be __________
a)The iron part of magnetic circuit requires zero mmf, relation between Ef & If - option a
b)The iron part of magnetic circuit requires zero mmf, relation between Ef & If - option b
c)The iron part of magnetic circuit requires zero mmf, relation between Ef & If - option c
d)The iron part of magnetic circuit requires zero mmf, relation between Ef & If - option d
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: There will be linear relation in Ef and Ia as mmf required is zero.

7. The short circuit characteristic of alternator is a straight line due to __________
a) no saturation
b) no armature reaction
c) no eddy current
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: At the short circuit of the alternator is having the linear relation as the armature does not enter the saturation mode due to demagnetizing nature of armature reaction.

The intercept AB represents Armature reaction from the OCC & SCC curves
a) Armature reaction
b) Leakage reactance
c) Armature copper losses
d) Sum of armature reaction and leakage reactance
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: It is armature reaction which is calculated based on Potier triangle.

9. From the OCC and SCC curves, what does the intercept BC represent?
The intercept BC represents leakage reactance from the OCC & SCC curves
a) Armature reaction
b) Leakage reactance
c) Armature copper losses
d) Sum of armature reaction and leakage reactance
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: It is leakage reactance which is calculated based on potier triangle.

10. The leakage reactance can be determined with lesser accuracy by using Potier triangle.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The leakage reactance can be determined with better accuracy by using Potier triangle.

11. Potier method is very accurate due to __________
a) emfs are handled as voltage and mmf as AT
b) emf and mmf are handled as AT
c) emf and mmf are handled as voltage
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The potier’s method is very accurate because emfs are handled as voltage and mmf as AT.
