(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Write the starter control circuit with explain?
  • Ans. 

    A starter control circuit is used to control the starting and stopping of an electric motor.

    • The starter control circuit typically includes a start button, stop button, overload relay, and contactor.

    • When the start button is pressed, it energizes the contactor which allows power to flow to the motor.

    • The overload relay protects the motor from overheating by sensing the current drawn by the motor.

    • The stop button breaks the...

  • Q2. How to slip-ring motor speed control
  • Ans. 

    Slip-ring motor speed can be controlled by varying the resistance in the rotor circuit.

    • Slip-ring motors have a wound rotor with external resistors.

    • By changing the resistance in the rotor circuit, the speed can be controlled.

    • This is done by adding or removing resistors from the rotor circuit.

    • The speed can also be controlled by changing the voltage applied to the stator.

    • This method is commonly used in industries where va...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q3. Add to external resistance
  • Ans. 

    Adding external resistance increases the total resistance in a circuit.

    • External resistance can be added in series or parallel to the existing circuit.

    • This can be useful in controlling the current flow and voltage drop in the circuit.

    • For example, adding a resistor in series with an LED can limit the current flowing through it and prevent it from burning out.

    • Similarly, adding a resistor in parallel with a component can r...

  • Q4. Main parts of eot cranes
  • Ans. 

    Main parts of eot cranes include bridge, trolley, hoist, end trucks, runway beams, and electrical components.

    • Bridge: main structure that spans the width of the bay

    • Trolley: carries the hoist and moves horizontally along the bridge

    • Hoist: lifts and lowers the load

    • End trucks: located on either side of the bridge and house the wheels for movement

    • Runway beams: support the crane and provide a path for the crane to travel alon...

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. Why used slip-ring motor in eot cranes
  • Ans. 

    Slip-ring motors are used in EOT cranes for their ability to provide high starting torque and smooth acceleration.

    • Slip-ring motors offer high starting torque, making them suitable for heavy loads in EOT cranes.

    • They provide smooth acceleration, reducing wear and tear on the crane components.

    • Slip-ring motors allow for speed control and reversing capabilities, important in crane operations.

    • These motors are also able to ha...

  • Q1. Dol and star delta wiring scheme
  • Ans. 

    DOL (Direct-On-Line) and star delta are two different wiring schemes used in electrical engineering for starting induction motors.

    • DOL wiring directly connects the motor to the power supply for starting, while star delta wiring initially starts the motor in star configuration and then switches to delta configuration for running.

    • DOL wiring is simpler and cheaper but causes high starting current, while star delta wiring r...
