5 Questions

  • Q1. 1.Introduce yourself?
  • Q2. 2.How Blocked rotor test is performed for 3 ph induction motor and what does it give?
  • Ans. 

    Blocked rotor test is performed on a 3-phase induction motor to determine its impedance and calculate its locked rotor current.

    • The motor is connected to a 3-phase supply with the rotor blocked.

    • The voltage and current are measured and used to calculate the motor's impedance.

    • The locked rotor current can be determined from the impedance.

    • The test helps in assessing the motor's performance and identifying any faults or issu

  • Q3. 3.Why single phase induction motor is not self stating? what are the different methods of starting of single phase motor?
  • Ans. 

    Single phase induction motor is not self-starting due to the absence of rotating magnetic field. Different methods of starting include capacitor start, split-phase, shaded pole, and reluctance start.

    • Single phase induction motor lacks rotating magnetic field

    • Capacitor start uses a capacitor to create a phase shift and start the motor

    • Split-phase uses a starting winding to create a phase shift

    • Shaded pole uses a shading coi...

  • Q4. 4.what are the different methods of resistance measurement (low, medium and high) and their ranges?
  • Ans. 

    Different methods of resistance measurement and their ranges

    • Low resistance measurement: 4-wire Kelvin method, range 0.1 μΩ to 1 Ω

    • Medium resistance measurement: 2-wire method, range 1 Ω to 1 MΩ

    • High resistance measurement: Megohmmeter method, range 1 MΩ to 10 TΩ

    • Other methods include 3-wire method and 4-wire guarded method

    • Measurement accuracy depends on the method used and the quality of the equipment

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. 5.Why lighting arresters are used in transmission lines?
  • Ans. 

    Lightning arresters are used in transmission lines to protect the equipment and infrastructure from damage caused by lightning strikes.

    • Lightning arresters divert the high voltage surge caused by lightning strikes to the ground, preventing it from damaging the transmission lines.

    • They provide a low-resistance path for the lightning current to flow, reducing the risk of electrical breakdown and flashovers.

    • Lightning arrest...

(3 Questions)

  • Q1. Why power plug earth wire is bigger in size?
  • Ans. 

    The power plug earth wire is bigger in size to ensure safety and prevent electrical shocks.

    • The earth wire provides a path for the current to flow in case of a fault or short circuit.

    • A larger wire size reduces resistance and allows for the safe dissipation of excess current.

    • It helps to protect individuals and equipment from electric shock hazards.

    • The earth wire is connected to the ground, which acts as a reference point...

  • Q2. Which conductor of same size will take larger current Al or Cu?
  • Ans. 

    Copper (Cu) conductor will take larger current than Aluminum (Al) conductor of the same size.

    • Copper has a higher electrical conductivity than Aluminum.

    • Copper has a lower resistivity than Aluminum.

    • Copper has better thermal conductivity than Aluminum.

    • Copper is more commonly used in high-current applications.

    • Aluminum is often used in overhead power transmission lines due to its lighter weight.

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. What is pulse width modulation in VFD?
  • Ans. 

    Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a technique used in VFD to control the speed of the motor by adjusting the width of the pulses of voltage supplied to the motor.

    • PWM is a method of controlling the amount of power delivered to a load without changing the voltage level.

    • In VFD, PWM is used to control the speed of the motor by varying the width of the pulses of voltage supplied to the motor.

    • The width of the pulses is control...
