20) In a 2 pole lap winding dc machine , the resistance of one conductor is 2Ω and total number
of conductors is 100. Find the total resistance
200Ω
100Ω
50Ω
10Ω ans.3
Total resistance depends upon no of parallel path. In lap winding parallel path is no of poles and
here it is two. Half of conductor are in series i.e. 50 in series and rest of 50 in series and they are
parallel together. 50 no 2Ω in series = 100Ω. When two such paths are parallel their equivalent
22) A 4 pole lap wound dc generator has 4 brushes, if one of the brush is damaged, what will be
the change in V, I and P ratings
V, I and P
V/2, I/2 and P/4
V/2, I and P/2
V, I/2 and P/2 Ans.4
If one brush is damaged then two parallel paths will be damaged. So only two parallel paths will
provide the I/2 current and voltage is same for parallel paths. As the current is halved, delivered
power is also halved for same terminal voltage.
23) For a dc machine shunt resistance and armature resistance values are
high and high
high and low
low and low
low and high Ans.2
For a DC machine the values of armature resistance is very low and shunt resistance is high.
The power delivered by the DC Machine depends upon the armature current Ia. Ia should be high
to deliver maximum power. The Shunt field is parallel to the armature field, so its resistance
must be high for minimum value of shunt field current. If its value will be low then armature
current will be lower and power delivered will be less. The series field is connected in series. So
if series resistance is more then there would considerable series drop and again armature
current will be lower.
24) Shunt field of DC generators consists of--------number of turns and ---------- conductors
respectively
large and thick
large and thin
less and thick
less and thin Ans.2
To deliver maximum power armature current must be high and the shunt field current is
minimum. So, shunt field resistance of DC Machine is very high value around 50Ω to 500 Ω.
, it can be concluded that for high resistance length of the coil is to be large and area
to be small. So shunt field must have large no of turns and thinner wire than the series field.
25) Series field consists of--------number of turns and ---------- conductors respectively
large and thick
large and thin
less and thick
less and thin Ans.3
The power delivered by a DC machine depends upon armature current. The series field is in
series with the armature so they are carrying same current through them. Series field are kept at
low resistance for minimum drop. , we can conclude that area should be high and no of
turns should be less.
26) What is/are the necessary conditions for voltage build up in self excited generator?
Poles should contain residual flux.
Field winding should be properly connected to armature winding.
Field winding resistance should be less than critical resistance.
All of the above. Ans.4
The necessary condition for voltage build-up process in a self-excited DC generator are
1. The poles should retain some residual magnetism. If the poles lost its residual magnetism it can't
start voltage build up process. It may be started by a separate DC source at shunt field when
armature is at rest.
2. The field winding should be properly connected to armature winding. If the field connection is
reversed then the field flux would oppose residual flux.
3. The field winding resistance should be less than critical resistance. Voltage will not build up if
the field resistance is greater than critical resistance.
4. The speed of the generator should be greater than the critical speed. This can be remedied by
increasing prime mover speed above critical speed.
31) Armature flux is.............with respect to main field flux or main field poles?
rotates opposite direction
rotates same direction
stationary
none of the above Ans.3
The rotating armature produce a rotating armature flux with respect to armature and there is a
working flux which is also under the pole distributed uniformly. Therefore armature flux is
stationary with respect to main filed flux. Armature mmf is stationary w.r.t. field poles but
rotating w.r.t. the armature.
34) Brushes are always placed on--------------- , in order to achieve sparkles commutation?
GNA
MNA
either GNA or MNA
none of the above Ans.2
Brushes should be placed where the direction of current are changes or production of zero
e.m.f., under no load condition MNA and GNA coincides with each other. At this axis current
direction is reversed or no emf is produced. But due to armature flux the main field flux gets
distorted and MNA does not coincides with GNA under loaded condition. That means neutral
zone is shifted. In order to achieve sparkless commutation brushes is placed on MNA. So,
brushes are always placed in MNA in loaded or unloaded condition.
35) Flux density under trailing pole tips in case of generator will
increase
decrease
either increase or decrease
none of the above Ans1
The pole tip towards which the armature conductor leaves the influence of pole is called trailing
pole tips (symbol by dot sign). In a generator the main field flux and armature flux are aiding
each other under trailing pole tips region. Therefore total flux density will increase under
trailing pole tips.
36) Flux density under leading pole tips in case of generator will
increase
decrease
either increase or decrease
none of the above Ans2
The pole tip towards which the armature conductor enters into the influence of pole is called
leading pole tips (symbol by cross sign ). In a generator the main field flux and armature flux are
opposing each other under leading pole tips region. Therefore total flux density will decrease
under leading pole tips.
40) Which of the following is/are the methods to reduce the armature reaction and its effects?
pole chamfering
pole stacking
compensating winding
all of the above Ans.4
Methods to reduce armature reaction in DC machines are 1. Pole chamfering 2. Pole stacking 3.
Pole core slotting 4. Compensating winding 5. Interpolar winding
Compensating winding is placed in the pole shoe or pole face, cut in to slots embedded in the
pole. They are connected in series with the armature having same axis as armature but opposite
polarity of the pole.
43) Direction of the current in the compensating winding is________ to the direction of current
in the armature conductors?
same
exactly opposite
either of these
none of the above Ans.2
The direction of the current in the compensating winding is exactly opposite to the direction of
current in the armature conductors under respective pole, this produces an extra flux which
neutralize armature flux and thus armature reaction.
44) Which of the following is/are the advantages of carbon brush over the copper brush?
They are not hard as copper brush
They are self lubricating in nature
In case of any sparking they will be less damaged than copper brushes
All of the above Ans.4
Advantages of carbon brush over the copper brushes are 1. They are not hard as copper brush.
2. They are self lubricating in nature which ensure excellent mechanical conditions with rotating
commutator. 3. In case of any sparking they will be less damaged than copper brushes. But they
has less current density than copper brushes.
To know the application the characteristics should be known. It is basically variation of terminal
voltage with load. Characteristics are divided in to 1. No load 2. load. Load characteristics are
again divided in to
1. Internal characteristics (Eg vs Ia)
2. External characteristics (Vt vs load current)
54) A shunt generator running at 1000 rpm, if flux is reduced by half, then what is the new
speed?
1000
2000
500
0
From this equation if all other things remains constant speed is inversely proportional to flux. So
if flux is reduced by half then speed will be increased to double.
55) A dc 4 pole lap wound generator is running at 1000 rpm having 1200 conductors and flux
density is 10 mwb. find the generated emf?
20V
10V

62) If terminal voltage of one 1000 rpm shunt motor is reduced to half the speed of the motor
will be
500 rpm
250 rpm
1000 rpm
2000 rpm
If voltage reduced to half then flux will also reduced to half because the current flowing through
the shunt field is also halved. So speed will remains same.
63) Diverters are used only in
shunt motors
series motors
either of these
none of the above Ans.2
Diverters are used only in series motors for speed control, these are not used in shunt motors.
Since, shunt field winding resistance is very high, if we connect a diverter across shunt field
winding, total current will flow through the diverter and almost short circuit the shunt field
winding. This will increase the motor speed to a very high value. Therefore diverters are not
used in shunt motors.
64) Which of the following starter is sufficient to start the DC series motor ?
3 point starter
4 point starter
2 point starter
all of the above Ans.3
2 point starter is enough to start the dc series motor. Since armature and field winding are in
series. No requirement of 3 or 4 point starter.

produced will be
pulsating and unidirectional
steady and unidirectional
oscillating
none of the above Ans.1
In DC series motor, the AC currents through the field and armature winding will be
unidirectional by commutator and brushes. So torque will be unidirectional but pulsating due to
AC.

power (P)
T∝ P
T∝ P²
T∝ P³
T is independent of P Ans.1
