Q2: (25 Marks)

A short-shunt compound generator has armature, shunt field and series field resistances
of 0.5 Ω, 100 Ω, and 0.3 Ω respectively. When supplying a load of 8 kW at a terminal
voltage of 250 V the input power supplied by the driving motor is 10.4 kW. Calculate (a)
the generated emf, (b) the efficiency, (c) the iron, friction and windage loss, and (d) the
total fixed losses.

Q3: (25 Marks)

A 380-V, 50 Hz, 45-hp, three phase induction motor is drawing 50A at 0.85 PF lagging. The
stator copper losses are 2.2 kW, and the rotor copper losses are 600 W. The friction and
windage losses are 500 W, the core losses are 1850 W, and the stray losses are negligible.
Find: 1) The air-gap power, 2) The power converted, 3) The output power, 4) The
efficiency of the motor.

Q4: (10 Marks)

In the series RC circuit, if R= 5 Ω, C= 0.1 F and the vs= 10 cos 4t, Find the voltage across R
and C, also find the circuit current i(t).

Q5: (15 Marks)
