Q. Which winding is mostly used winding in the single phase induction motor?
  • (A) circular winding
  • (B) concentric winding
  • (C) progressive winding
  • (D) skein winding
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (B) concentric winding

Q. What is/are the advantages of the skein winding?
  • (A) low cost to wind
  • (B) low cost to insert
  • (C) permits some freedom of choice of distribution
  • (D) low cost to wind, low cost to insert, permits some freedom of choice of distribution
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (D) low cost to wind, low cost to insert, permits some freedom of choice of distribution

Explanation: the skein winding is the low cost to wind and to insert. it also permits some freedom of choice of distribution.

Q. What material is used in the tunnel of the rotor of the single phase induction motor?
  • (A) aluminium
  • (B) copper
  • (C) steel
  • (D) wood
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) aluminium

Explanation: the rotor consists of a block of slotted laminations. the slots form a series of tunnels that are filled with aluminium in its molten state.

Q. A dc machine is run at rated speed in forward direction and then in backward direction. It is observed that, speeds of the rotation are different, then it leads to the conclusion of
  • (A) incorrect brush placement
  • (B) incorrect pole and core alignment
  • (C) incorrect field supply
  • (D) all of the mentioned
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) incorrect brush placement

Explanation: given at the same speed of operation, if the speeds are different then the brushes are placed in not aligned manner.

Q. For a dc machine, its commutator has a diameter of 50 c rotating at 1000 rpm. For a brush width of 1 cm, the time commutation taken by the machine will be
  • (A) 0.382 ms
  • (B) 0.456 ms
  • (C) 0.573 ms
  • (D) 0.312 ms
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) 0.382 ms

Explanation: time of commutation = brush width/peripheral velocity

Q. An induction motor can be said analogous to
  • (A) transformer
  • (B) synchronous motor
  • (C) universal motor
  • (D) stepper motor
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) transformer

Explanation: an induction motor has similar operation as a transformer.

Q. A 3-phase induction motor with its rotor blocked behaves similar to a
  • (A) transformer under short circuit of secondary terminals
  • (B) transformer under open circuit of secondary
  • (C) synchronous motor under slip test
  • (D) synchronous motor under open circuit
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) transformer under short circuit of secondary terminals

Explanation: it is analogous to transformer under the shorted terminals of the secondary.

Q. No load current in induction motor is 10- 20% of full load current and the no load current of transformer is 2-6%.
  • (A) true
  • (B) false
  • (C) ---
  • (D) ---
πŸ’¬ Discuss
βœ… Correct Answer: (A) true

Explanation: the air gap in induction motor is more prominent than transformer and so the flux requirement will also be more.
