Q. Calculate the value of the angular acceleration of the Heavy duty crane using the given data: J = 5 kg-m2, load torque = 30 N-m, motor torque = 80 N-m.
  • (A) 10 rad/s2
  • (B) 20 rad/s2
  • (C) 30 rad/s2
  • (D) 50 rad/s2
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 10 rad/s2

Explanation: using the dynamic equation of motor j×(angular acceleration) = motor torque – load torque: 5×(angular acceleration) = 80-30=50, angular acceleration=10 rad/s2.

Q. motor torque = 2 N-m.
  • (A) 45 rad/s2
  • (B) the machine will fail to start
  • (C) 30 rad/s2
  • (D) 51 rad/s2
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) the machine will fail to start

Explanation: using the dynamic equation of motor j×(angular acceleration) = motor torque – load torque: .541×(angular acceleration) = 2-10=-8, angular acceleration=-14.78 rad/s2. the load torque is greater than the motor torque. the motor will fail to start.

Q. The direction of the single-phase IM can be reversed by using which one of the method?
  • (A) by interchanging the supply terminals
  • (B) by removing the capacitor
  • (C) by changing the direction of auxiliary winding current
  • (D) by removing the main winding
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) by interchanging the supply terminals

Explanation: the direction of the single- phase im can be reversed by changing the direction of auxiliary winding or main winding current.the net torque developed in the im is imiasin(Φ).

  • (A) intermittent periodic motor
  • (B) continuous duty motor
  • (C) slow speed duty motor
  • (D) short time rated motor
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) intermittent periodic motor

Explanation: intermittent periodic motor is preferred for overhead traveling cranes.

Q. conditions where electric motors are being used?
  • (A) thermography
  • (B) geography
  • (C) seismography
  • (D) anthropology
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) thermography

Explanation: thermography is used to detect heat patterns. it uses an infrared rays camera. this test is used to determine the conditions where electric motors are being used.

Q. What is the range of size of the motor (kW) for efficiency nearly equals to 90%?
  • (A) 15-150
  • (B) 0-2
  • (C) 3-15
  • (D) 150-250
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 15-150

Explanation: as the size of the motor increases its speed decreases. the range of size of the motor (kw) for efficiency nearly equals to 90 % is 15-150. the efficiency increases as the size increases.

Q. Calculate the heat loss in the electric motor for time interval 0-5 sec using the following data: Ia=2 A, Ra=.8Ω.
  • (A) 16 j-sec
  • (B) 14 j-sec
  • (C) 12 j-sec
  • (D) 10 j-sec
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 16 j-sec

Explanation: the heat loss can be calculated using the joule law of heating effect. the

  • (A) .641
  • (B) .334
  • (C) .293
  • (D) .417
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (C) .293

Explanation: one british thermal unit is equal to .293 watt. 1 btu/h is the amount of energy requires to increase the temperature of one pound of water by 1℉.

Q. Overloading can be prevented using
  • (A) over-current protection
  • (B) speed protection
  • (C) over frequency protection
  • (D) oversize protection
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) over-current protection

Explanation: overloading can be prevented using over-current protection. it will detect the over-current and interrupt the supply.

Q. The most common cause of motor failure is
  • (A) overloading
  • (B) low resistance
  • (C) contamination
  • (D) over-heating
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) low resistance

Explanation: the most common cause of motor failure is low resistance. overheating, corrosion can damage the insulation of the windings which leads to low resistance.
