21. While machine in operation, the slip of the synchronous machine is:

High

Low

Zero

1
Correct Answer : c Explanation : While machine in operation, the
north pole of magnetic field strongly attracts the south pole of rotor, hence there is
a strong lock between them and the magnetic field does not slip on the rotor. So
their relative speed is zero. Hence slip speed is zero.

22. If the induction motor speed at no-load is 745 RPM, what is the speed of the
motor?

700 RPM

750 RPM

800 RPM

850 RPM
Correct Answer : b Explanation : If rotor
speed equals to synchronous speed, motor will come to rest as there is no relative
velocity between field and rotor. If there is no relative velocity, rotating flux won't
cut rotor bars to induce current. Rotor speed is above synchronous speed means
that machine is now operating as generator. So speed should be 750 rom

system, also referred to as non-feedback system, is a type of continuous control
system in which the output has no influence or effect on the control action of the
input signal. In other words, in an open-loop control system the output is neither
measured nor “fed back” for comparison with the input.
