3. DO your own work and copying is forbidden max. mark 15%
Part 1: - Give short answer for the following questions
1. Write the applications of single phase and three phase induction motors briefly?
2. How to produce rotating magnetic field with different angle of inclination in three phase
balanced winding induction machine?
3. At what speed induction motor run? Can the induction motor run at synchronous speed? Why?
4. briefly explain starting of squirrel cage rotor induction machine?
5. Compare and Contrast the basic construction parts of DC machine?
6. How to minimize armature reaction effect in DC machine?
7. list and write different speed control of DC shunt motors?
Part 2: - Calculate with necessary step for the following questions
1. A 4-pole 3-phase induction motors operates from a supply whose frequency is 50Hz.
Calculate: -
1. The speed at which the magnetic field of the stator is rotating.
2. The speed of the rotor when the slip is 0.04.
3. The frequency of the rotor currents when the slip is 0.03.
4. The frequency of the rotor currents at stand still.
2.
3. A long-shunt compound generator delivers a load current of 50A at 500V and has
armature, series field and shunt field resistance of 0.05Ω, 0.03Ω and 250Ω respectively.
Draw the equivalent circuit, calculate the generated voltage and the armature current.
