Q-1 (a) Give classification of electric drive and also discuss factors affecting 07
choice of an electric drive?
(b) Draw speed torque characteristics of following motors. 07
1. D.C. Shunt motor 2. D.C. Series motor, 3.Three Phase Induction
Motor.

Q-2 (a) Explain plugging of DC motor. 07

(b) The armature circuit resistance of a 18.65 kW 250-V series motor is 0.1 07
Ω, the brush voltage drop is 3V, and the series field resistance is 0.05.
When the motor takes 80 A, speed is 600 r.p.m. Calculate the speed
when the current is 100 A.
OR

(b) A 220-V, d.c. shunt motor takes 4 A at no-load when running at 700 07
r.p.m. The field resistance is 100 Ω. The resistance of armature at
standstill gives a drop of 6 volts across armature terminals when 10 A
were passed through it. Calculate (a) speed on load (b) torque in N-m
and (c) efficiency. The normal input of the motor is 8 Kw

Q-3 (a) Define average speed ,crest speed and schedule speed and discuss the 07
factors which affect schedule speed of a train
(b) A train is required to run between two stations 1.6 km apart at an
average speed of 40 kmph. The run is to be made to a quadrilateral
speed- time curve. If the maximum speed is to be limited 64 kmph,
acceleration to 2 kmphps and coasting and breaking retardation to 0.16
kmphps and 3.2 kmphps respectively, determine the duration of
acceleration, coasting and braking period.
OR
(a) State and explain advantages of electric traction system. 07
(b) Find the schedule speed of an electric train for a run of 1.5 km if the 07
ratio of its maximum to average speed is 1.25. It has a braking
retardation of 3.6 km/h/s, acceleration of 1.8 km/h/s and stop time of
21 second. Assume trapezoidal speed/time curve.
