1 What is a transformer? Transformer is a static device which, )a )b )c )d 1 Transfers electric power from one circuit to another, It does so without a change in frequency, It accomplishes this by electromagnetic induction, Where the two electric circuits are in mutual inductive influence of each other.

Briefly explain the principle of operation of transformers. A transformer consists of two coils which are in mutual inductance.

When AC supply is given to one of the coils, an alternating flux is set up, which is linked with the second coil. Due to this alternating flux there is a mutually induced emf produced in the second coil. If the second coil is closed, current flows in it and so electric energy is transferred magnetically from the first coil to the second coil.

What are the parts of a transformer? The transformer has mainly following parts. )a Primary winding the coil to which the AC supply is given )b Secondary winding the coil from which output is taken and given to load. )c Laminated Core this acts as a mechanical support to the coils as well as provides magnetic path for the flux.

What are the types of core in transformer? There are two types of core available. They are, )a Core type This has two legs. The primary winding is wounded on one leg and the secondary winding is wounded on the second leg. This is mainly used in single phase transformers. )b Shell type This has three legs. Both primary and secondary windings are wound on the same leg. This is mainly used in three phase transformers where three primary and three secondary windings are present.

What is an ideal transformer? An ideal transformer is the one which has no losses i.e., its windings have no ohmic resistance, there is no magnetic leakage and hence which has no I2R and core losses. The efficiency of an ideal transformer is 100%.

Give the emf equation of the transformer. The emf induced in the transformer is given by

E1 = 4.44 fN 2m

E 2 = 4.44 fN 1m

where, E1 is the emf induced in the primary winding. E2 is the emf induced in the secondary winding. N1 is the number of turns in the primary winding. N2 is the number of turns in the secondary winding.
m

is the maximum flux produced.

f is the frequency in Hz. 1 What are the losses occurring in a transformer. The losses occurring in a transformer are a) Core loss loss occurring in the core of the transformer. This has two components. Hysteresis loss The loss occurring due to the magnetization characteristics of the core. o Eddy current loss The loss occurring due to the eddy current produced in the core. Copper loss (I2R loss) loss occurring in the windings of the transformer. This has two components. o Primary copper loss The loss occurring due to the current flowing through the primary winding. o Secondary copper loss The loss occurring due to the current flowing through the secondary winding. o

What is the purpose of the magnetizing current in transformer? The magnetizing current is the component of the primary current which is responsible for the production of flux in the core.

What are the components of primary no-load current? The primary no-load current consists of mainly two components. They are,

a) Magnetizing current ( Im ) Produces flux in the core and hence magnetizes the core. b) Core loss component current ( Ic ) compensates for the core losses.

Mention the difference between core and shell type transformers?

In core type, the windings surrounded the core considerably and in shell type, the core surround the windings i.e winding is placed inside the core. 1 What is the purpose of laminating the core in a transformer? To reduce the eddy current loss in the core of the transformer. 1 Does transformer draw any current when secondary is open? Why?

yes, it(primary) will draw the current from the main supply in order to magnetize the core and to supply for iron and copper losses on no load. There will not be any current in the secondary since secondary is open. 1 Define voltage regulation of a transformer?

When a transformer is loaded with a constant primary voltage, the secondary voltage decreases for lagging PF load, and increases for leading PF load because of its internal resistance and leakage reactance. The change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load expressed as a percentage of no load or full load voltage is termed as regulation. %regulation down=(V2noload-V2F.L)*100/V2noload %regulation up=(V2noload-V2F.L)*100/V2F.L 1 Full load copper loss in a transformer is 1600W. what will be the loss at half load?

If x is the ratio of actual load to full load then copper loss = x2(F.L copper loss) Here Wc = (0.5)2 1600=400W. 1 Define all day efficiency of a transformer?

Write the Advantages of Transformer Tests:

The above two simple transformer tests offer the following advantages:

(i) The power required to carry out these tests is very small as compared to the full-load output of the transformer. In case of open-circuit lest, power required is equal to the iron loss whereas for a short-circuit test, power required is equal to full-load copper loss. (ii) These tests enable us to determine the efficiency of the transformer accurately at any load and p.f. without actually loading the transformer. (iii) The short-circuit test enables us to determine R01 and X01 (or R02 and X02). We can thus find the total voltage drop in the transformer as referred to primary or secondary. This permits us to calculate voltage regulation of the transformer. 1 Why Transformer Rating in kVA?

An important factor in the design and operation of electrical machines is the relation between the life of the insulation and operating temperature of the machine. Therefore, temperature rise resulting from the losses is a determining factor in the rating of a machine. We know that copper loss in a transformer depends on current and iron loss depends on voltage. Therefore, the total loss in a transformer depends on the volt-ampere product only and not on the phase angle between voltage and current i.e., it is independent of load power factor. For this reason, the rating of a transformer is in kVA and not kW.

What are the applications of step-up & step-down transformer?

Step-up transformers are used in generating stations. Normally the generated Voltage will be either 11kV. This voltage (11kV) is stepped up to 110kV or 220kV or 400kV and transmitted through transmission lines (simply called as sending end voltage). Step-down transformers are used in receiving stations. The voltage are stepped down to 11kV or 22kV are stepped down to 3phase 400V by means of a distribution transformer and made available at consumer premises. The transformers used at generating stations are called Power transformers. 19. List the arrangement of stepped core arrangement in a transformer? 1. To reduce the space effectively 2.

Unit 4 1) What are Generators and motors? An electrical generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An electrical motor is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

2) What is the principle of working of a DC generator? The generator working is based on the principle of the production of dynamically induced emf. Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced emf is produced in it according to Faradays laws of electromagnetic induction, which states that the emf induced is equal to the rate of change of flux.

3) What are the main parts of a DC generator? The main parts if a DC generator are, a) Yoke or frame Provides mechanical support to the poles. b) Pole core The solid portion of the pole over which field coils are wound. c) Pole shoe The base of pole which has projected structure to spread the flux in the air gap. d) Field coils The coils which carry the field current responsible for producing the necessary magnetic field in the generator. e) Armature core The solid portion of the armature which has slots on the periphery to carry the armature windings. f) Armature windings The coil carrying the induced emf produced in the generator. g) Commutator The mechanical rotating switch which converts the AC voltage produced in the armature to a DC voltage in the external circuit. 4) What are the types of DC generators? There are two main categories of DC generators. They are, a) Separately excited DC generator. b) Self-excited DC generator. 5) What is a separately excited DC generator?

In a separately excited DC generator the field winding is excited separately using a variable DC voltage supply.

6) How does a self-excited DC generator work? In a self-excited DC generator the poles will have residual magnetism which produces small amount of flux in the air gap in which the armature rotates. Now due to this flux a very small value of emf is induced in the armature. The field windings are connected across or in series with the armature windings. The small emf produced drives some current through the field coils which increases the net flux in the air gap. This again increases the induced emf. This process continues until the voltage builds up to the rated voltage.

7) Explain the different types of self-excited DC generators. There are three types of self-excited DC generators. They are, a) Shunt Generator The field winding is connected parallel to the armature winding. b) Series Generator The field winding is connected in series with the armature winding. c) Compound Generator Both series and shunt field windings are present. If the shunt field winding is connected across both the armature winding and the series field winding, then it is called long shunt compound generator. If the shunt field winding is connected only across the armature winding, then it is called the short shunt compound generator. If the shunt field and the series field windings are wound in a such a way that they aid each other ( i.e., in same direction ), then we say it is cumulatively compounded. If the shunt field and the series field windings are wound in a such a way that they oppose each other (i.e., in opposite direction ), then we say, that it is differentially compounded.

10) Distinguish between lap winding and wave winding used in dc machine Lap winding is designed for high current and low voltage machines. Wave winding is designed for low current and high voltages. 11) Write the number of parallel paths in a lap and wave connected windings In a lap wound machine, the number of parallel paths is equal to the number of poles. But in wave wound machine, the number of parallel paths is always two irrespective of number of poles. 12) Name the three things required for the generation of emf o Presence of armature conductors o Presence of magnetic field o Relative motion between conductor and magnetic field 13) What is pole pitch? The periphery of the armature is divided for a number of poles of the generator. The center to center distance between two adjacent poles is called pole pitch. It is also equal to the number of armature slots or armature conductors per pole. 14) How can the voltage in a DC generator be increased? Increasing the main field flux and the speed of the armature a DC generator. 15) What is critical resistance of a DC shunt generator? The value of resistance of shunt field winding beyond which the shunt generator fails to build up its voltage is known as critical resistance . 16) What are the conditions to be fulfilled for a shunt generator to build up Voltage? a) There must be some residual magnetism in the field poles. b) The shunt field resistance should be less than critical resistance. c) The field coils should be connected with the armature in such a way that current flowing through them should increase the EMF induced by the residual magnetism. 17) What do you mean by residual flux in DC generator? can increase the voltage in

The magnetic flux retained in the poles of the machine even without field supply is called the residual flux. 18) Explain the principle of operation of DC motor.
The DC motor is based on the principle that, when a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force. In DC motor the field windings when passed current produces the necessary magnetic field. The armature carrying current is present in this field and hence experiences force. Since the armature conductors are present on the periphery perpendicular to the force, they experience a turning force or torque. Torque is the product of force and the radius at which the force acts. So overall armature experiences a torque and starts rotating. 19) What is back emf in a DC motor? In a DC motor when the armature starts rotating, it cuts the flux and hence there is an emf induced in the armature called the back emf. This is called back emf as it is opposite to the applied voltage according to Lenzs law.

20) Give the back emf equation of DC motor. The back emf equation of DC motor is given by,

The types of DC motors are, a) Shunt motor the field winding is connected parallel to the armature winding. b) Series motor the field winding is connected in series with the armature winding. c) Compound motor both shunt and series field windings are present. If the shunt field winding is connected across both the armature winding and the series field winding, then it is called long shunt compound motor. If the shunt field winding is connected only across the armature winding, then it is called the short shunt compound motor. If the shunt field and the series field windings are wound in such a way that they aid each other (i.e., in same direction), then we say it is cumulatively compounded. If the shunt field and the series field windings are wound in such a way that they oppose each other (i.e., in opposite direction), then we say, that it is differentially compounded. 23) What is meant by torque?

As conductors are placed in the slots which are on the periphery, the individual force experienced by the conductors acts as a twisting or turning force on the armature is called a torque.

24) What is back emf in d.c motors ? As the motor armature rotates , the system of conductor come across alternate North and South pole magnetic fields causing an emf induced in the conductors. The direction of the emf induced in the conductors . The direction of the emf induced is in the direction opposite to the current .As this emf always opposes the flow of current in motor operation it is called back emf. 25) Under what condition the mechanical power developed in a dc motor will be maximum? Condition for mechanical power developed to be maximum is Eb = Ua /2 or I a= Ua / 2Ra 26) How does a d.c motor differ from d.c generator in construction? Generators are normally placed in closed room , accessible only to skilled operators. Therefore on ventilation point of view they may be constructed with large opening in the frame. Motors on the other hand , have to be installed right in the place of use which may have dust, dampness, inflammable gases, chemical fumes etc . To protect the motors against these elements, the motor frames are made either partly closed or totally closed or flame proof etc. 27) How will you change the direction of rotation of a d.c motor?

30) What is reactance emf in dc machine? The self induced emf in the coil undergoing commutation which opposes the reversal of current is known as reactance emf. 31) Define the term commutation in dc machines. The changes that take place in winding elements during the period of short circuit by a brush is called commutation. 32) How and why the compensating winding in dc machine excited? As the compensation required is proportional to the armature current the compensating winding is excited by the armature current. 33) How is the interpole winding in dc machine excited? Interpole winding is connected in series with the armature circuit and is excited by the armature current. 34) To what polarity the interpoles excited in dc motors? For motor operation the polarity of the interpoles must be that of the previous main pole along the direction of Rotation. 35) Why are carbon brushes preferred for dc machines? The high contact resistance carbon brushes help the current in the coil undergoing commutation to attain its full value in the reverse direction at the end of commutation. The carbon brushes also lubricate and give less wear and tear on commutator surface.

Split phase motor ii. Shaded pole motor. iii. Single phase series motor. iv. Repulsion motor. 5) What is the use of shading ring in a pole motor? The shading coil causes the flux in the shaded portion to lag behind the flux in unshaded portion of pole. This gives in effect a rotation of flux across the pole face and under the influence of this moving flux a stating torque is developed. 6) State any four use of single-phase induction motor.

The rotor starts rotation in the direction from unshaded part to the shaded part. 16) Why single-phase induction motor has low power factor? The current through the running winding lags behind the supply voltage by a very large angle. Therefore power factor is very low. 17) Differentiate between capacitor start and capacitor start capacitor run induction motor? In capacitor start motor, capacitor is connected in series with the starting winding. But it will be disconnected fro m the supply, when the motor picks up its speed. But in capacitor start capacitor run motor the above starting winding and capacitor are not disconnected, but always connected in the supply .so it has high starting and running torque. 18) State the application of an induction generator?

Ups is stands for uninterruptible power supply.. AC power problems have been recognized by the utility companies, computer manufacturers and end users as a subject that must be addressed. The power problems extend from spikes, noise, brown-outs and frequency variations to complete back-outs. These problems can be corrected individually using surge suppressors, filters, regulators, and amplifiers, but only a true on-line Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) can solve all these problems collectively. The utility power is one of the causes of power problems, but other factors also play a key roll in causing power disturbance such as: The load itself, switch-mode power supplies reflect high percentage of distortion on the main power feeder.
