11. Question

In a salient pole synchronous motor, the developed reluctance torque attains the maximum value when the load angle in electrical degrees is




Answer
12. Question

A single-phase 100 kVA, 1000 V / 100 V, 50 Hz transformer has a voltage drop of 5% across its series impedance at full load. Of this, 3% is due to resistance. The percentage regulation of the transformer at full load with 0.8 lagging power factor is




Answer
13. Question

A 30 kV, 50 Hz, 50 MVA generator has the positive, negative, and zero sequence reactances of 0.25 pu, 0.15 pu, and 0.05 pu, respectively. The neutral of the generator is grounded with a reactance so that the fault current for a bolted LG fault and that of a bolted three-phase fault at the generator terminal are equal. The value of grounding reactance in ohms (round off to one decimal place) is ___________.




Answer
14. Question

The magnetic circuit shown below has uniform cross-sectional area and air gap of 0.2 cm. The mean path length of the core is 40 cm. Assume that leakage and fringing fluxes are negligible. When the core relative permeability is assumed to be infinite, the magnetic flux density computed in the air gap is 1 tesla. With same Ampere-turns, if the core relative permeability is assumed to be 1000 (linear), the flux density in tesla (round off to three decimal places) calculated in the air gap is _________________.




Answer
15. Question

A 220 V DC shunt motor takes 3 A at no- load. It draws 25 A when running at full- load at 1500 rpm. The armature and shunT resistances are 0.5 Ω and 220 Ω, respectively. The no-load speed in rpm(round off to two decimal places) is ________.
