This document contains a 3-part examination on electric and electronic engineering concepts for third year students. The first section contains 4 multiple choice questions about generators, including how to increase the number of parallel paths in a generator armature, how to start a generator, what causes heating of the generator armature, and possible reasons and remedies for why a DC motor fails to start. The second section involves calculations related to a short-shunt compound generator. The third section involves calculations for a DC series motor operating at 750 rpm and 30A at 200V, including determining total copper losses, efficiency, and developed torque in the armature. The document concludes by wishing students good luck on the examination.

Q2: (30 Marks)
A short-shunt compound generator has armature, shunt field and series field resistances of 0.5 Ω, 100 Ω and 0.3 Ω respectively. When supplying a load of 8 kW at a terminal voltage of 250 V the input power supplied by the driving motor is 10.4 kW. Calculate (a) the generated e.m.f., (b) the efficiency, (c) the iron, friction and windage loss, and (d) the total fixed losses (constant losses).
Q3: (30 Marks)
A dc series motor runs at 750 r.p.m. and takes 30 A at 200 V. If the total losses of the motor are 1.1kW, the field and armature resistance are 0.15Ω and 0.25Ω respectively, find: (a) the total copper losses, (b) the efficiency, and (c) the developed torque in the armature.
