7. A balanced three-phase, 50 Hz voltage is applied to a 3 phase, 4 pole, induction
1500 r.p.m.
1425 r.p.m.
25 r.p.m.
75 r.p.m.
Ans:D
Explanation: NS = 120f /P = 120 x 50 /4 =1500rpm
N = NS ( 1-s) = 1500 (1-0.05) = 1425
\relative speed = 1500 – 1425 = 75 rpm
8. A ceiling fan uses

capacitor start and capacitor run motor
universal motor.
capacitor start motor.
Ans:D
9. The drive motor used in a mixer-grinder is a

10. A 1:5 step-up transformer has 120V across the primary and 600 ohms resistance
0.2 Amp.
5 Amps
10 Amps.
20 Amps.
Ans:A
Explanation: I1= V1 /R1 = 120/600 = 0.2 (h = 100%, losses are zero \V1 = VR = I1R1)
11. A 50 Hz, 3-phase induction motor has a full load speed of 1440 r.p.m. The number of
poles of the motor are
4.
6.
12
8.
Ans:A
Explanation: N= Ns (1-S) = NS –NS x S
1440 = Ns (1-S)
Ns = 1440 / (1-S)
Ns = (120 f/ p) = 120 x 50/p = 6000 p
Ns will be closer to N i.e 1440
When P=2 ; Ns = 3000 rpm , not close to N
When P=4 ; Ns = 1500 rpm , it is closer to N
Therefore P =4 for N=1440
12. In a 3-phase synchronous motor
the speed of stator MMF is always less than that of rotor MMF.
the speed of stator MMF is synchronous speed while that of rotor MMF is zero
rotor and stator MMF are stationary with respect to each other.
Ans:D
Explanation: Because, Motor is magnetically locked into position with stator, the rotor poles are engaged with stator poles and both run synchronously in same direction Therefore,
rotor & stator mmf are stationary w.r.t each other.
13. In a three phase transformer, if the primary side is connected in star and secondary
side is connected in delta, what is the angle difference between phase voltage in the
two cases.
delta side lags by -30°.
star side lags by -30°.
delta side leads by 30°.
star side leads by -30°.
Ans:C
Explanation: This is vector group and has +30° displacement. Therefore, delta side leads by +30°.
14. Slip of the induction machine is 0.02 and the stator supply frequency is 50 Hz.
What will be the frequency of the rotor induced emf?
10 Hz.
50 Hz.
1 Hz.
2500 Hz.
Ans:C
Explanation: Given : s = 0.02 ; f = 50 Hz
Therefore, frequency of rotor induced emf = s f
= 0.02 x 50 = 1.0 Hz
15. A 4 pole lap wound dc shunt motor rotates at the speed of 1500 rpm, has a flux of 0.4
100 Volts.
0.1 Volts.
1 Volts.
10 Volts.
Ans:D
Explanation: Given N = 1500 rpm, F = 0.4 mWb, Z = 1000, P = 4, & A= 4
Therefore, Eb = NFPZ / 60 A
= 1500 x 0.4 x 4 x 1000 x 10-3 / 60 x 4
= 60/6 = 10 volts
