  • Ans. 

    There are several types of dampings in case of vibration, including viscous damping, hysteretic damping, and structural damping.

    • Viscous damping: It occurs when a fluid or viscous material is used to dissipate energy and reduce vibration.

    • Hysteretic damping: It is caused by the internal friction within a material, which converts mechanical energy into heat.

    • Structural damping: It is inherent in the structure itself and is...

Interview Questionnaire 

2 Questions

  • Q1. Draw Induction Motor equivalent ckt.
  • Ans. 

    Induction Motor equivalent circuit consists of stator and rotor circuits with mutual induction.

    • The stator circuit includes three-phase winding and a power source.

    • The rotor circuit includes rotor winding and a short-circuited conductor.

    • The mutual induction between stator and rotor circuits causes the rotor to rotate.

    • The equivalent circuit can be represented using a circuit diagram with resistances, inductances, and mutu...

  • Q2. Draw B-H curve
  • Ans. 

    B-H curve is a graph that shows the relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetic flux density.

    • B-H curve is used to characterize the magnetic properties of a material.

    • It is a plot of magnetic flux density (B) versus magnetic field strength (H).

    • The slope of the curve at any point is the permeability of the material at that point.

    • The curve can be used to determine the saturation point of a material.
