UNIT – II
9 Draw and discuss external load characteristics of: (i) Shunt. (ii) Series. (iii) Compound DC
generators.
OR
10 Swinburne test gave the following results on a dc shunt motor: Supply voltage 500 V, no load
current 5 A, armature resistance 0.5 Ω and field resistance 250 Ω. Determine the efficiency of
the machine: (i) As a generator delivering 100 A at 500 V. (ii) As a motor having a line current of
100 A at 500 V. Neglect temperature rise during operation. Assume stray losses at 1% of output.
UNIT – III
11 Determine with neat diagram OC and SC tests. “OC test normally is conducted on the low
voltage side whereas the SC test is conducted on the voltage side. Give reasons what
information you gather from these two tests.
OR
12 Explain why the rotor of an induction motor rotates in the same direction as the stator magnetic
field and why the speed of the motor is less than the synchronous speed
