EEE 363 (Electrical Machines)
Marks 45
Time: 1 hr. 40 min

Attempt any THREE out of FOUR questions [Figures in the margin denote full marks]

1. (a) Briefly explain the effect of load change on a synchronous motor with the help of
vector diagram. How can you increase the pull-out torque of a synchronous motor? What is
‘slipping poles’? [4+1+2]

(b) A 480 V 60 Hz, 400 hp, 0.80 pf leading, 6-pole, delta-connected synchronous motor has a
synchronous reactance of 1.2 ohm and negligible armature resistance. Ignore friction,
windage and core losses. (i) If this motor is initially supplying 350 hp at 0.85 pf lagging, what
are the magnitudes and angles of EA and IA? (ii) How much torque is this motor producing?
(iii) If field excitation is increased by 20%, what would be the new magnitude of EA and the
torque angle? [3+2+3]

2. (a) Briefly explain how the initial current inrush comes into play in a transformer. Derive
the condition for maximum efficiency of a transformer. [5+2]

(b) A 1000 VA, 230/115 V transformer has been tested with the following results:

Open-circuit test Short-circuit test


Voc = 230V Vsc = 19.1V
I oc = 0.45 A I sc = 8.7 A
Poc = 30W Psc = 42.3W

Find (i) the equivalent circuit parameters referred to the low-voltage side of the transformer,
(ii) Full load voltage regulation at 0.85 power factor lagging load. [4+4]

3. (a) Two generators are supplying a load. Both the generators have a no-load frequency of
61.5 Hz and the slope sp of 1 MW/HZ. If they are supplying a real load of 2.0 MW at 0.8 pf
lagging, what would be the system frequency and power sharing between two generators?
What measures can be taken to make the frequency 60 HZ. If an additional 1.0 MW load is
connected to the existing one what would the system frequency be. [3+2+3]
(b) By using necessary diagrams show that the induced torque in an ac machine can be
expressed by the following formula: [7]
 
 ind = kBR xBnet

4. (a) Briefly explain why a synchronous motor requires starting mechanism. Is there any
starting problem associated with the induction motor? How do you overcome it? [4+1+2]

(b) A 208 V, 60 Hz, 2-pole, Y-connected induction motor is rated at 16 hp. Its equivalent
circuit components have the following values:

(R1 = 0.200 ohm, X1 =0.410 ohm); (R2 = 0.120 ohm, X2 = 0.410 ohm); Xm = 15.0 ohm.
Rotor slip is 4.5% at the rated voltage and frequency. Mechanical and core losses are 230W
and 200W respectively. Find (a) rotor speed (b) line current and motor p.f (c) Air-gap and
converted power (d) Induced torque. [2x4]
