Q.No. Question Marks
1. 08
Justify the following statements:
a) Carter’s coefficient of semi closed slots is higher in comparison with that of
the open slots.
b) Stepped cores are preferred in transformers in comparison with the square
core
c) If higher value of specific electric loading is chosen, the overload capacity
of Induction motor reduces.
d) Synchronous machines are designed with larger air gap as compared to
induction machines.
2. A motor has a heating time constant of 70 minutes and a cooling time constant
of 90 minutes when stationary. When run continuously on full load of 18.5 kW, 07
the final temperature rise is 40⁰C.
i) What load motor could deliver for 10 minutes without exceeding the
temperature rise of 40⁰C if this is followed by a shut-down period long enough
for it to cool down?
ii) If it is on intermittent loading with 10 minutes on load followed by 15
minutes of shut down, what is the maximum load the motor can supply during
loading period without exceeding the temperature rise of 40⁰C?
Assume losses to be proportional to square of load.
3. Suggest the modifications in design of a three phase induction motor for 08
improvement in:-
i) Power factor
ii)Over load capacity
iii) Starting torque
iv) Efficiency.
4. Determine the main dimensions of the core, the number of turns and the area of 07
conductors for a 5 kVA, 50 Hz, 11000/400 V, single phase, core type
distribution transformer. The net conductor area in the window is 60% of the
net cross-section of the iron core. Given:
i) core is square shaped. ii) Bm=1 wb/m2 iii) current density= 1.4 A/mm2
iv) Window space factor Kw=0.2. The window height is 3 times its width.
