Note: Answer All Questions
Part A 10x2=20 MARKS
1. Define back emf.

When a motor rotates, the conductors housed in the armature also rotate
and cut the magnetic lines of force. So an emf is induced in the armature
conductors and this induced emf opposes the supply voltage as per Lenz’s
law. This induced emf is called back emf (or) counter emf.
Eb=(ФPNZ/60A)
2. What is the purpose of yoke in a d.c machine?

 It acts as a protecting cover for the whole machine and provides
mechanical support for the poles.
 It carries the magnetic flux produced by the poles. The flux per pole
divides at the yoke so that; the yoke carries only half the flux produced
by each pole.
3. Why transformer rating is expressed in terms of kVA?

Copper loss depends on current and iron loss depends upon voltage.
Hence the total loss in a transformer depends upon volt-ampere(VA) only and
not on the phase angle between voltage and current i.e, it is independent of
load power factor.
4. Define regulation and efficiency of transformer.

The regulation of a transformer is defined as reduction in magnitude of the
terminal voltage due to load, with respect to no load terminal voltage.
5. What is mean by hunting in synchronous motor?
To reduce hunting, damping grids are employed. Damper windings are
short circuited, copper bars are placed in the pole faces of the field poles of
the motor.
6. What is synchronous condenser?

An over excited synchronous motor running without any mechanical load
used specifically for power factor correction is known as synchronous
capacitor.
7. Why the slots on the rotor of induction motors are usually skewed?
The slots on the rotor of an induction motor are usually skewed in order
to obtain a uniform torque, reduce the magnetic locking of the stator and rotor
and reduce the magnetic humming noise while running.
8. Why airgap length is minimum in an induction motor?

 To reduce the magnetizing current which s required to set up the flux.
 To improve the power factor.
9. Mention the application of hysteresis motor.

Due to quiet operation and ability to drive high inertia loads, hysteresis
motors are used for driving i. electric clocks, ii. timing devices, iii. tape recorder
and other precision equipment.

(16 Marks)
REPULSION TYPE MOTORS:
The repulsion type motor can be classified as follows,
1. Repulsion Motor: It consists of one stator winding, one rotor which is wound
like a d.c armature, commutator and a set of brushes. It operates continuously on
the repulsion principle. No short circuiting mechanism is required for this type of
motor.
2. Compensated Repulsion Motor: It is similar to repulsion motor except it carries
an additional stator winding called compensated winding and there is another set
of two brushes which are placed in between the usual short circuited brush set.
The compensated winding and this added set are connected in series.
3. Repulsion Start Induction Motor: This motor starts as a repulsion motor but run
normally as an induction motor with constant speed characteristics. It consists of
one stator winding, one rotor which is similar to the wire wound d.c armature, a
commutator and a centrifugal mechanism which short circuits all the commutator
bars when the motor reaches nearly 75% of full speed.
4. Repulsion Induction Motor: It works on the combined principle of repulsion

and induction. It consists of stator winding, two rotor windings i.e, one squirrel
cage and other usual d.c winding connected to the commutator and a short
circuited set of two brushes.
