Show clearly all working steps

1. A 400 KVA, 3300/415 V, single phase core type transformer has Bm =

1.1T, = 3A/mm2, Kw = 0.35 and Aw = 2Ai. Calculate the number of L.V
turns/limb.

2. A single phase, 50 Hz, shell type transformer has B m = 1.2T, = 4A/mm2, Kw =

0.3, Ai = 0.04m2 and Aw = 0.3m2. Calculate the rating of the transformer. The full
load efficiency of the transformer is 94%. Estimate the full load efficiency of a
transformer with the above dimensions increased by a factor of 2.

3. A transformer has a temperature rise of 200 C after 1 hour and 350 C after 2 hours
full load. The copper loss is 2.5 times the core loss. Estimate the final temperature
rise, after a consecutive loading of 1.5 hours at full load, 0.5 hours at half full load
and 1 hour at 25% overload.

4. Discuss in detail the construction and operation of the following types of special
motors. The discussion should also include their applications
(i) Brushless dc motors
(ii) Stepper motor

5. Give a detailed description of an experiment to be carried out for the separation

of hysteresis and eddy current losses. Your discussion should include the theory and
relevant calculations.

6. A 0.1Kw universal (series) motor has the following constants:

Armature resistance

r r = 12

Series field resistance

r s = 36

Effective armature inductance

L rr = 0.3H

Series field inductance

L ss = 0.3H

Maximum mutual inductance between rotor and astator

L sr =

0.71H

Determine the input current and speed when the load torque applied to the motor is
0.18Nm (a) when connected to a 200V d.c supply and (b) when connected to a
200V, 50 Hz a.c supply.
Neglect windage, friction and all core losses.
7. (a) Show that energy under the hysteris loop represents energy loss per m 3.
(b) A magnetic core has a B-H curve shown in figure question seven. If the core
takes the shape of mean diameter 50mm and cross-sectional area 25 square mm,
and if supply frequency is 1Khz, calculate the power loss in the core.

8. A transformer has a temperature rise of 200C after 1 hour and 350C after 2 hours
full load. The copper losses is 2.5 times the core loss. Estimate the final
temperature rise, after consecutive loading of 1.5 hours at full load, 0.5 hours at
half full load and 1 hour at 25% overload.
