(A) 30% to 50% of the rated current
(B) The rated current
(C) 5% to 10% of the rated current
(D) 5 to 7 times of the rated current

Ans-(A) 30% to 50% of the rated current

SOLUTION-In induction motor the air gap between stator and rotor is more so about 30
to 40% rated current is required to setup flux in this gap.

78. A three-phase induction motor has 4 poles and operates with a slip of 0.04
with 50 Hz supply for a certain load. The speed of the rotor magnetic field with
respect to stator is:
(A) 1440 rpm (B) 60 rpm
(C) 1500 rpm (D) 0 rpm

Ans-(C) 1500 rpm

SOLUTION-Here given P=4 ,S=0.04 and f=50Hz

𝑓 50
So ROTOR magnetic field (Ns)=120 × 𝑃=120 × 4 = 1500
∵ both stator or rotor magnetic field rotates with the synchronous speed.
And stator is always fix not rotate .so speed of the rotor magnetic with respect to
statoris=Ns-0=Ns=1500rpm.

79. DC generator used for voltage drop compensation is known as:

(A) Series (B) Shunt
(C) Cumulative compound (D) Differential compound

Ans-(A) Series

SOLUTION-DC series generator is used to compensate voltage drop as a booster in

transmission line.

80. A dc shunt motor is running at rated speed with rated supply voltage. If the
armature voltage is reduced to half, then the speed of the motor becomes:
(A) Half of the rated speed
(B) Double of the rated speed
(C) Slightly less than the rated speed
(D) Slightly more than the rated speed

Ans-(A) Half of the rated speed

SOLUTION-As we know that speed is directly proportional to back emf

And Eb=V-IaRa ,if armature voltage is reduced to half then back emf also reduced to
half,and speed is directly proportional so it should be also reduced to half.
