Answer Keys and Explanations

1. [Ans. B]
(Transformer B has more weight than A)
Since, both are connected to the same bus bar so both will have same voltage, ‘V’ applied
V , so flux is also constant in both transformers
ow, , filux density
rea of come
onstant
Area of transformer A come is less than that of B. So weight of transformer B is more than A.

2. [Ans. C]

3. [Ans. *] Range: 0.955 to 0.965

4. [Ans. *] Range 600 to 600

For convenience let the slope of the linear portion of OCC=m.
m is directly proportional to the speed of the rotor. Operating as a shunt generator, m must be
greater than or equal to the filed circuit resistance for buildup, the quality giving the critical
speed at 1500 RPM, m=250 (given)
or m , Speed

Main winding impedance, ( j3 ) or 3 3
Main winding current, lags behind the applied V by 39.43
Auxiliary winding impedance, ( j3 )
Since, time phase angle between auxiliary winding current is , so auxiliary winding
current must lead the applied voltage by( 3 3 )or .
If is the capacitive reactance of the capacitor connected in series with the auxiliary winding,
then impedance of the auxiliary winding will be given as
( j3 j c)or [ j(3 )]ohm
