1. Explain the construction of a 2-phase A.C. servomotor.

2. Explain the working principle of a 2-phase A.C. servomotor.
3. Explain the torque-speed characteristics of a 2-phase A.C. servomotor. What are its
applications?
4. Explain the operating principle and working of singly excited induction generator. Also
discuss its applications.
5. What are the merits and demerits of induction generator?
6. Explain the operating principle and working of doubly fed induction generator. Also
discuss its applications.
7. A 400 V, 50 Hz, two-phase, four-pole servo-motor with a cage rotor has
following parameters:
R1 = 2.1 Ω/phase; R2' = 7.25 Ω/phase;

X1 = 2.0 Ω/phase; X2' = 2.0 Ω/phase; Xm = 47.34 Ω/phase.

The motor is operated with 115 V across the reference field winding and 69 V across
the control winding, the latter leads the former by 90°. Determine the stator currents,
output power factor and torque of the motor with s = 0.5. Assume windage and iron
losses at above slip and voltage to be 61.5 W. Stator windings have equal turns.

8. Determine the expressions for transfer function of a 2-phase A.C. servomotor. Discuss
its performance.
