PART-A
1 a. What are the advantages of an electric drive? Mention the factors on which choice of an
electric drive depends. (07 Marks)
b. Explain the components of load torques. (05 Marks)
c. A 3-phase, 100 kW, 6-pole, 960 rpm wound rotor induction motor drives a load whose
torque varies such that a torque of 3000 N-m of 10 sec. duration is followed by a torque of
500 N-m of duration long enough for the motor to attain steady-state speed. Calculate the
moment of inertia of motor-load-flywheel, if motor torque should not exceed twice the rated

the region of interest. Also calculate the moment of inertia of flywheel. (08 Marks)

loads with translational and rotational motion. (06 Marks)
b. Derive the expression of over-loading factor 'K' while selecting the main rating, for
intermittent periodic duty. (06 Marks)
c. A 50 kW, 3-phase, 440V, 50Hz, 1440 rpm, squirrel cage induction motor has constant loss
to variable loss at full-load in proportion of 1:3. Its rated temperature rise is 55°C and its
heating and cooling time constants are 40min and 60min respectively. Find: i) The half-
hour rating and ii) The intermittent rating, if periodic loads of half-hour duration are

b. A 230V, 960rpm and 200A separately excited d.c. motor has an armature resistance of
0.020. The motor is fed from a chopper which provides both motoring and braking
~o
operations. The source has a voltage of 230V. Assuming continuous conduction.
Z
•... i) Calculate duty ratio of chopper for motoring operation at rated torque and 350rpm and
~ ii) If maximum duty ratio of chopper is limited to 0.95 and maximum permissible motor
8-
E current is twice the rated, calculate maximum permissible motor speed obtainable with field
weakening and power fed to the source. (10 Marks)
