Question 1 Answer in brief [1 x 5=5]
1.1 What are the advantages of parallel operation of an alternator?
1.2 Why an induction motor is called asynchronous motor?
1.3 Why is primary winding in Schrage motor provided on its rotor
and secondary on stator?
1.4 How is heat developed in synchronous generator?
1.5 Sketch a simple direct on line (DOL) starter for induction motor.

Question 2 [4, 6]
2.1 How does a synchronous motor differ from a 3 phase induction
motor?
2.2 A 3 phase, star connected, 400V, 50Hz, 4 pole induction motor
has the following per phase constants in ohms referred to stator:
r1=0.15, x1=0.45, r2=.12, x2=0.45, Xm=28.5.
Fixed losses (core, friction and windage losses)=400watts.
Compute the stator current, rotor speed, output torque and
efficiency when the motor is operated at rated voltage and
frequency at the slip of 4 percent.

3.1 A 2 pole 3000 rpm, 7500 kVA, 11kV, 50Hz, 3 phase alternator is
tested in order to determine its voltage regulation. The armature is
delta connected. The results of the tests are
S.C. Test O.C Test

3.2 A 4.5kW, 400V,50Hz, 3phase delta connected induction motor
gave the following:
No load test (line values) : 400V, 4.2A, 480W.
Blocked rotor test : 215V, 15A, 1080W.
Rotor resistance referred to stator is 1.2Ω per phase. Stator and
rotor ohmic losses at standstill are assumed and stator to rotor phase
turns ratio is 2/1.
Calculate the external resistance that must be inserted in series with
the rotor circuit in order to obtained a) Maximum torque at starting
and b) 1.2 times the maximum torque at standstill. For both parts
(a) and (b) find the corresponding stator current and power factors
Also if the induction motor is made to work as an induction
generator with output current equal to motor full load current, then
find (c) its power output power operating power factor and
efficiency.

Question 4 [ 3, 5]
4.1 A 250W, 230V, 50Hz capacitor start motor has the following
constants for the main and auxiliary winding. Main winding, Zm =
(4.5+j3.7) Ω. Auxiliary winding Za = (9.5+j3.5) Ω. Determine the
value of the starting capacitor that will replace the main and
auxiliary winding currents in quadrature at starting.

4.2 A 3-phase, 50 Hz induction motor has a full load speed of 1440

rpm. For this motor, calculate the following: (a) Number of poles
(b) full load slip and rotor frequency, (c) speed of stator field with
respect to (i) stator structure and (ii) rotor structure and (d) speed of
rotor field with respect to (i) rotor structure (ii) stator structure and
(iii) stator field

Question 5 [ 4, 4]
5.1 A 4 pole 50Hz star connected alternator has a flux per pole of 0.12
Wb. It has 4 slots per pole per phase, conductors per slots being 4.
If the winding coil span is 150o, find the emf.
5.2 A factory has an average load of 300 kW at a p.f. of 0.6 lagging. A
synchronous motor, with an efficiency of 88%, is used to raise the
combined p.f. to 0.90 lagging and at the same time supply a
mechanical load of 60 kW. Calculate (a) total load kVA, (b) kVA
capacity of the synchronous motor and (c) synchronous motor
operating power factor.

Question 6 [3, 5]
6.1 What is a V-curve? Sketch V- curves and inverted V-curves for full
load, half load and no load condition.

6.2 Two exactly similar turbo-alternator are rated at 25 MW each. They

are running in parallel. The speed load characteristics of the driving
turbines are such that the frequency of alternator 1 drops uniformly
from 50 Hz on full load to 48 Hz, and that of alternator 2 from 50
Hz to 47.5 Hz. How will the two machines share a load of 40 MW?
