QUESTION 1:
(15 Marks)
The flux density distribution over the surface of a two-pole stator of radius rand length l is given by

B = BMcos(Wmt-α)

Prove that the total flux under each pole face is

Φ=2rlBM

QUESTION 2:
(15 Marks)
A ferromagnetic core with a relative permeability of 1500 is shown in Figure 1 (See next page).
The dimensions are as shown in the diagram. and the depth of the core is 7 cm. The air gaps on
the left and right sides of the core are 0.070 and 0.050 cm. respectively. Because of fringing
effects. the effective area of the air gaps is 5 percent larger than their physical size. If there are
400 turns in the coil wrapped around the center leg of the core and if the current in the coil is 1.0
A. what is the flux in each of the left,center. and right legs of the core? What is the flux density in
each air gap?

QUESTION 3:
(20 Marks)

A 20-kVA 8000/480-V distribution transformer has the following resistances and reactances:
Rp= 32 ohms Rs = 0.05 ohms
Xp = 45 ohms Rs= 0.06 ohms
Rc = 250 kilo ohms XM=30 kilo ohms
The excitation branch impedances are given referred to the high-voltage side of the transformer.
(a) Find the equivalent circuit of this transformer referred to the high-voltage side.
(b) Find the per-unit equivalent circuit of this transformer.
(c) Assume that this transformer is supplying rated load at 480 V and 0.8 PF lagging. What is this
transformer's input voltage? What is its voltage regulation?
