3. Diesel electric propulsion is now being chosen as the power plant for an increasingly wide variety
of vessels.
(a) Sketch a simple layout of such an installation.
(b) Explain the advantages of selecting such a plant.
4. With reference to an emergency source of electrical power in cargo ships :-
(a) Describe a typical power source.
(b) Give a typical list of essential services, which must be supplied simultaneously.
(c) Explain how the emergency installation can be periodically tested.
5. The direct on line start squirrel cage motor is used for most electrical drives on a.c. powered
ships. Describe with sketches as necessary one method of overcoming each of the following
problems:
(a) High starting current;
(b) Low starting torque;

7. Compare the series and parallel resonance circuits. Find the frequency at which the following
circuit resonates.
8. What are the losses in transformers? Mention the various factors which affect these losses.
In a 25 KVA, 3300/233 V, single phase transformer, the iron and full-load Cu. losses are
respectively 350 and 400 w. Calculate the efficiency at half-full load 0.8 power factor.
9. Explain what is meant by, and the significance of, four of the following terms.
(a) Voltage stabilization
(b) Filter choke
(c) Impedance
(d) Rectification
(e) Grid bias voltage
10. A 440V shunt motor takes an armature current of 30A at 700 rev/min .The armature resistance is
0.7ohm.If the flux is suddenly reduced 20 per cent , to what value will the armature current rise
momentarilyAssuming unchanged resisting torque to motion, what will be the new steady
values of speed and armature current Sketch graphs showing armature current and speed as
functions of time during the transition from initial to final, steady-state conditions.

Explain how rotating magnetic field is produced in three phase winding with three phase supply. A
4-pole, 3-phase induction motor operates from a supply whose frequency is 50 Hz. Calculate
(i) Speed at which the magnetic field of the stator is rotating, (ii) Speed of the rotor when the
slip is 0.04, (iii) The frequency of the rotor current when the slip is 0.03.
