Questions-4.Core lamination in transformer decreases____

A. Eddy current loss
B. Hysteresis loss
C.  Copper loss
D. Leakage reactance

Answer-A

DFCCIL Executive Electrical 2018 Solved
Solution-Eddy Current Loss is directly proportional to the square of lamination thickness. If more lamination are used for a given rotor axial length, the thickness of lamination decreases which result in decrease in Eddy current loss. Thus the use of thin lamination reduces the Eddy Current Loss. Normally the thickness of lamination is in between 0.4-0.5 mm. Further reduction in the thickness results into reduction of loss but at an increased cost.

Questions-5.A three phase induction motor running at 4 % slip ,if the input to rotor is 1000 W,the mechanical power develop by the motor will be___

A.960 W
B.9600 W
C.96 W
D.0.96 W

Answer-A
Solution-The formula is given by
Mechanical power = (1 – S) × Power input.
Power input = 1000 W
S = 4%
S = 4/100 = 0.04
Doing the substitution we have
(1 – 0.04) = 0.96
= 0.96 × 1000
= 960 W

Questions-10.A_____motor runs at the highest speed when load is removed.

A. Cumulatively compound
B. Series
C. Shunt
D. Differential compound

Answer-B
Solution-We know the relation, N ∝ E_b/ɸ
For small load current (and hence for small armature current) change in back emf Eb is small and it may be neglected. Hence, for small currents speed is inversely proportional to ɸ. As we know, flux is directly proportional to Ia, speed is inversely proportional to Ia. Therefore, when armature current is very small the speed becomes dangerously high. That is why a series motor should never be started without some mechanical load.

Questions-11.The magnetic flux path in transformer must have _____

A. High resistance
B. Low resistance
C. High reluctance
D. Low reluctance

Answer-D

DFCCIL Executive Electrical 2018 Solved

Questions-12.Leakage flux in a transformer ____

A. Helps in transfer of energy
B. Produces mutually induced EMF
C.Is minimized by interleaving the primary and secondary winding’s
D.Is negligible at full load

Answer-C
Solution-Leakage fluxes of transformer may be minimized by

• Reducing the magnetizing current to the minimum
• Reducing the reluctance of the iron core to the minimum

Questions-13.The primary of a ___should never energized when its secondary is open circuited

A. Potential transformer
B. Current transformer
C. Auto transformer
D. Power transformer

Answer-B
Solution-Current transformers are intended to be used as proportional current devices. Therefore a current transformers secondary winding should never be operated into an open circuit, just as a voltage transformer should never be operated into a short circuit.

Very high voltages will result from open circuiting the secondary circuit of an energized CT so their terminals must be short-circuited if the ammeter is to be removed or when a CT is not in use before powering up the system.

Questions-14.For a simplex wave wound generator, EMF generated path given by

φ: Flux/pole in Weber
Z:Total number of armature conductor
P:Number of generator poles
N:Armature rotation in revolution per minutes(rpm)

A.(φPN)/120
B.(φZPN)/120
C.(φZPN)/180
D.(φZN)/60

Answer-B
Solution-Average e.m.f generated /conductor = dΦ/dt volt (n=1)
Now, flux cut/conductor in one revolutions Φ = ΦP Wb
No. of revolutions/second = N/60
Time for one revolution, dt = 60/N second
Hence, according to Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction,
E.M.F generated/conductor dΦ/dt =(φPN)/60

For a simplex wave-wound generator
No. of parallel paths = 2
No of conductors (in series) in one path = Z/2
E.M.F. generated/path =(φZPN)/120

Questions-20.The direction of rotation of field in a three phase induction motors depends on the____

A. Supply voltage
B. Number of poles
C. Supply frequency
D. Phase sequence of supply voltage

Answer-D
Solution-The direction of rotation of the motor depends on the phase sequence of supply lines, and the order in which these lines are connected to the stator. Thus interchanging the connection of any two primary terminals to the supply will reverse the direction of rotation.

Questions-21.The function of dummy coils in DC mechanic is to_____

A. Improve commutation
B. Reduce machine cost
C. Mechanically balance the armature
D. Increase efficiency

DFCCIL Executive Electrical 2018 Solved

Answer-C
Solution-Dummy coils are used with wave-winding and are resorted to when the requirements of the winding are not met by the standard armature punchings available in armature-winding shops. These dummy coils do not influence the electrical characteristics of the winding because they are not connected to the commutator. They are exactly similar to the other coils except that their ends are cut short and taped. They are there simply to provide mechanical balance for the armature because an armature having some slots without winding’s would be out of balance mechanically.

Questions-22.To obtain greater efficiency, the slip of an induction motor should be

A. Low
B. Very High
C. High
D.1

Answer-A
Solution-Slip can be defined as the difference between the flux speed (Ns) and the rotor speed (N).
Speed of the rotor of an induction motor is always less than its synchronous speed. To obtain greater efficiency, the slip of an induction motor should be low or less than one.
