B. E./B. Tech. Degree Examination, November/December 2007

This document contains an exam for an Electrical Drives and Controls course. It includes 15 multiple choice and short answer questions testing knowledge of topics like electric drives, DC motors, induction motors, starters, braking methods, and speed control. The questions are divided into two sections - the first with 10 two-mark questions, and the second with 5 sixteen-mark questions. The longer questions ask about electric drive types and applications, motor duty classes, electrical braking methods, torque-speed characteristics, starting circuits, soft starting, and speed control methods including stator voltage control and frequency control.
