10. What are the effects of armature reaction?
The effect of magnetic field set up by the armature current on the distribution of flux under main poles of a generator is known as armature reaction. It has two effects

18. What do you mean by external characteristic of D.C. generator?
It is the relationship between the load current and the terminal voltage.

Shunt wound generator with field regulations are used for light and power supply purposes. These are also used for charging of batteries on account of its constant terminal voltage.
28. What causes sparking at the brushes?
It is either due to self-induction of the coil undergoing commutation or due to improper pressing of brush over the commutator surface.
29. Explain how you would reverse the direction of rotation of a D.C shunt motor.
The direction of rotation of a D.C. shunt motor can be reversed either by changing the direction of field current or armature current.
30. What are the factors that govern controlling of motor speed?
• flux per pole
• Voltage.
31. Suggest, with reason, a method of speed control of D.C motor above its rated speed.
The speed of a D.C motor can be obtained more than the rated value by field control method, because the flux per pole can be decreased to any value by decreasing the field current. (Field current can be decreased by inserting a field regulator)
32. How can the speed of a D.C shunt motor be controlled?
By varying the field current as well as armature voltage speed can controlled.
33. What will be the effect of adding resistance in the field circuit of a D.C shunt motor?
When the motor is running on no-load, the speed will increase, if additional resistance is connected in the field circuit. But the speed will decrease if it runs with load as torque produced decreases.
34. What do you mean by “commutation’ and commutation period?
The process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the magnetic neutral axis is called “commutation”. The brief period during which coil remains short circuited is known as commutation period.
35. What happens when a D.C. Shunt motor is directly connected to the supply mains?
When the motor is at rest, there is no back EMF developed in the armature. If now full supply voltage is applied across the stationary armature, it will draw a very large current because armature resistance is very small ( I = V/R ) this excessive current will blow out the fuses and prior to that, it will damage the commutator, brushes etc.,

39. Explain the variation of hysteresis and eddy current losses with speed of a D.C motor.
Hysteresis loss is proportional to the speed of the motor and the eddy current loss is proportional to the square of the speed so long as excitation is constant.
40. State the advantage of Swinburne’s test.
It is convenient and economical method of testing of D.C machines, since power required testing a large machine is very small. The efficiency of the machine can be pre-determined at any load, since stray losses (constant losses) are known.
41. Mention the effects of differential compounding and cumulatively compound on the performance of D.C compound motor?
Cumulative compound motor is used for variable loads with occasion over loads. But differential compound motor is used for running constant speed from no load to full load.
42. What happen if the direction of current at the terminals of a D.C. series motor is reversed?
It does not reverse the direction of rotation of motor because current flows through the armature in the same direction as through the field.
43. What is the function of holding coil in a 3-point starter?
When the supply fails or gets disconnected, the holding coil demagnetizes and so release the starting arm which goes back to the OFF position by the spring action.
44. What is the function of overload release coil in a 3-point starter?
Overload release coil is provided for the protection of the motor against the flow of excessive current due to over load. This coil is connected in series with the motor so carries full load current. When the motor is over loaded it draws heavy current and magnetizes the over load release coil to such an extent that it pulls its armature upwards and so short circuit the no-volt release coil, so it demagnetizes and release the arm to the OFF position.
45. Under what circumstance a dc shunt generator does fails to generate voltage?
• Absence of residual flux
• Initial flux setup by field may be opposite in direction to residual flux
• Shunt field circuit resistance may be higher than its critical field resistance

UNIT-II - TRANSFORMERS
Part-A
1. State the principle of working of a transformer.
Transformer consists of two inductive coils which are electrically separated but magnetically linked through a path of low reluctance. If one coil connected to a source of alternating voltage, an alternating flux is set up in the laminated core, most of which linked with the other coil in which it produces mutually induced emf.

Crawling occurs particularly in Squirrel Cage Induction motor. Motor runs at a speed as low as one-seventh of their synchronous speed Ns. This phenomenon is known as Crawling. This is due to the fact that the ac winding of the stator produces a flux wave which is not a pure sine wave. It consist of a fundamental wave , which revolves at synchronous speed and odd harmonics. Due to this harmonic content the motor will not accelerate up to its normal speed but will remain running at a speed, which is nearly one seventh of its full speed.

ii. Optimistic method or Ampere- turns Method or MMF Method
This method leads to a low value of percentage regulation than the actual results.
14. Why are alternators rated in KVA and not in KW?
As load increases I2R loss also increases, as the current is directly related to apparent power delivered by generator, the alternator has only their apparent power in VA/KVA/MVA as their power rating.
15. Why the synchronous impedance method of estimating voltage regulation is considered as pessimistic method?
Compared to other method, the value of voltage regulation obtained by this method is always higher than the actual value so it is called as pessimistic method.

Compared to EMF method, MMF method involves more number of complex calculation steps. Further the OCC is referred twice and SCC is referred once while predetermining the voltage regulation for each load condition. Reference of OCC takes core saturation effect. As this method require more effort, final result is very close to actual value, hence this method is called as optimistic method.
