Answer any FIVE questions

ALL questions carry equal marks

1. Explain about harmonics generated in e.m.f of a synchronous machine. How do you suppress them? What are the problems due to harmonics.

2. A-3-phase star connected, 4-pole,50Hz. Alternator develops an open circuit voltage of 12.5K.V for an applied field voltage of 400V. For a field circuit resistance of 10 ohms, Calculate the amplitude of armature to field mutal inductance.

3. Why the regulation calculated by EMF method is more than the actual value and in MMF method, why it is less than actual value, Explain with reasons.

4. a) How do you calculate the time constant in cast of an alternator

b) Show that an alternator running in parallel at constant voltage and frequency bus bars has a natural time period of oscillation. Deduce a formulate for the time of one complete oscillation and calculate the value for a 500KVA, 3-phase, 10000V machine running at 1500 rpm and constant 50Hz bus bars.

The moment of Inertia of the whole moving system is 14112 Kg-m² and the steady short circuit current is five times the normal full load value.

5. a) Explain the principle of operation of a synchronous motor.

b) A 3-Φ, star connected synchronous motor has a synchronous reactance of a 4Ω / phase and is working on 1,100V bus-bar. Calculate the power factor of this machine when taking 90KW from the mains, the excitation being adjusted to a value corresponding' to an induced emf of 1,200V. Neglected armature resistance.

6. A salient pole synchronous motor with r_a = 0, X_d = 1.0 p.u. and X_q = 0.5 p.u. is operated on infinite bus-bar of 1.0 p.u voltage. Show that for 1.00 synchronous power, the excitation voltage is E_f = Cosecδ - Cosδ. Also derive the condition for load angle when synchronous power is maximum.

7. a) Draw the equivalent circuit of a single phase induction motor and discuss the experimental procedure to determine the parameters

b) Find the mechanical power out put of a 185Watts, 4pole 110volts, 50Hz single phase induction motor whose constants are given below at a slip of 0.05

R1 = 1.86 ohms				X1 = 2.56 ohms
xm = 53.5 ohms				R2 = 3.56 ohms
x2 = 2.56 ohms				Core loss = 4.0 Watts

Friction and windage losses = 13.0 Watts.

8. a) Explain the function of compensationg winding in a.c series motor.

b) The resistance and total inductance of a single phase a.c. Series motor are 36 ohms and 0.58H respectively. It draws 0.92 A current and runs at 2000 rpm when connected across 230Volts D.C. Supply. Calculate the speed and power factor when connected to 230V, 50Hz a.c. Supply, drawing the same current.
