3. A 4.12-kV. 60-Hz, 3000-hp, 0.8-PF-leading, Δ-connected, three-phase synchronous
motor has a synchronous reactance of 1.1 per unit and an armature resistance of 0.1
per unit. If this motor is running at rated voltage with a line current of 300 A at 0.85 [7]
PF leading, what is the internal generated voltage per phase inside this motor? What
is the torque angle δ?

4. An FM radio is tuned to receive an FM broadcasting station of frequency 96.9 MHz.

The radio is of the superheterodyne type with the LO operating on the high side of the
96.9-MHz input and using a 10.7-MHz IF amplifier.
a) Determine the LO frequency. [7]
b) If the FM signal has a bandwidth of 180 kHz, give the requirements for the
RF and IF filters.
c) Calculate the frequency of the image response.

5. An audio signal with spectral components in the frequency band 300 to 3,000 Hz is
sampled at a rate of 8 kHz to generate a PCM signal. Find the number of uniform
quantization steps needed assuming that the peak signal-to-noise ratio at the receiver [7]
output needs to be at least 45 dB and the channel null bandwidth required when
Unipolar RZ signaling is used.

6. A 3-φ, 4-wire-system supplies loads which are unequally distributed in the three
phases. An analysis of the current flowing in R, Y and B lines shows that in R line,
positive phase sequence component is 200 ∠0º A and the negative phase sequence [7]
component is 100 ∠60ºA. The total observed current flowing back to the supply in
the neutral conductor is 300 ∠300º A. Calculate the current in the Y line.

7. A three-phase overhead line has resistance and reactance of 5 and 20 Ω, respectively.

The load at the receiving-end is 30 MW, 0.85 power factor lagging at 33 kV. Find the
voltage at the sending-end. What will be the kVAR rating of the compensating [7]
equipment inserted at the receiving-end so as to maintain a voltage of 33 kV at each
end? Find also the maximum load that can be transmitted.
