Short Answer Type Questions

(5 marks each)

State Gauss' Law and derive it from Coulomb's law.

Describe the Open Circuit Characteristics (OCC) of a DC generator.
Prove that efficiency of transformer is maximum when iron loss is equal to copper loss.
Derive the relation between phase and line voltages for star connected load.

2. Long Answer Type Questions

a) Derive the EMF equation of a DC machine. A 220 volts separately excited DC machine
has an armature resistance of 0.4 . If the load current is 20 ampere, find the induced emf
when the machine operates i) as a motor ii)as a generator.

b) Distinguish between core type and shell type transformer. The open circuit and short
circuit test data of a 5 kVA, 200/400 V, 50 Hz single phase transformer are:
(i) O.C. test: primary voltage = 200V, I = 0.75A, W = 75W.
(ii) S.C. test: primary voltage = 18V, S.C. current on the secondary
side=12.5A,W=60W.
Find the parameters of the equivalent circuit.

c) Explain why the rotor of an induction motor rotates in the same direction as the stator
magnetic field. Why the speed of the motor is less than the synchronous speed.
A 6-pole, 50 Hz induction motor has no-load speed 980 rpm and full-load speed 960
rpm. Calculate:
i) Synchronous speed
ii) No-load slip
iii) Full-load slip
iv) Frequency of rotor at full-load

d) The power in a three-phase circuit is measured by two wattmeters. If the total power is
50kW, power factor being 0.8 leading, what will be the reading of each wattmeter? For
what p.f will one of the wattmeter reading will be zero?
Draw the single line representation of a simple two bus system.
