* PART—B 8×5=40
Instructions : (1) Answer all questions.
(2) Each question carries eight marks.
(3) Answers should be comprehensive and criterion for

11. (a) Draw the vector diagram of a practical transformer on load for
unity power factor and lagging power factor.
(OR)
(b) Draw a neat sketch of approximate equivalent circuit of a 1-
transformer referred to primary side.
12. (a) Derive the condition for maximum efficiency in a single-phase
transformer.
(OR)
(b) A 50 kVA transformer has a full load copper loss of 600 watts and
iron loss of 500 watts. Calculate the maximum efficiency and the
load at which it occurs. (Assume any missing data)
13. (a) Explain the function of the following parts of a power transformer :
(i) Breather
(ii) Buccholz relay
(iii) Explosion vent
* (OR)
(b) State the expression for saving of copper in auto transformer and
also write the advantages and disadvantages of auto transformers.
14. (a) Derive expressions for pitch factor and distribution factor of an
alternator.
(OR)
(b) A 3- 16-pole alternator has 144 slots with 4 conductors per slot.
The winding being double layered winding, flux in the air gap is
* 50 mWb sinusoidally distributed. The coil span is 150° (electrical). Find
the emf generated when the alternator shaft is driven at 375 rpm.

* procedure of synchronization of an alternator using
synchroscope.
(OR)
(b) Two 24 MVA, 3- alternators operate in parallel to supply a load of
35 MVA at 0.8 p.f lagging. If the output of one machine is 22 MVA
at 0.9 p.f lagging, find the output and power factor of the other
machine.
