In each chapter the problems of a similar nature are grouped f together , and those o each group are then arranged in the i approx mate order of their difficulty . The groups in each chapter f f ollow each other in as logical an order as possible , both rom point of difficulty and the presentation of the subj ect . In order that this collection of problems may be useful among iff s o f d d erent clas es students a large variety has been include , ranging from the very simple t o those of considerable difficulty . Wherever it is essential the data have been taken from actual of apparatus . This was possible through the courtesy two of f the large manufacturing companies . In some o the problems so few data are given that approximate methods of solution s must be used , but care has been taken to o state them that the errors thus introduced need n ot be large . This lack of data is frequently met in practice. It has been thought best not to give introductory paragraphs for each chapter as was done in the preceding vol ume o f prob lems inasmuch as they would have to be of considerable length to of be much value . The answers to the problems will probably be ready fo r 4 he publication in the fall o f 1 91 . T y will be available to all but undergraduate students at a nominal price . Undergraduate students can obtain them o nly on the recommendation o f their instructors . L WALDO V . Y O N . MA ACH U S I N TxT T F T C H N G SS ETTS S U S O E OLO Y , ecember l 3 .

    Sri Venkateswara College of Engineering and Technology Department of Electrical & Electronics Engineering EE 6504-Electrical Machines-II UNIT-I 1. Why a 3-phase synchronous motor will always run at synchronous speed? Because of the magnetic coupling between the stator poles and rotor poles the motor runs exactly at synchronous speed. 2. What are the two classification synchronous machines? The classification synchronous machines are: i. Cylindrical rotor type ii. Salient pole rotor type 3. What are the essential features of synchronous machine? i. The rotor speed is synchronous with stator rotating field. ii. Varying its field current can easily vary the speed. iii. It is used for constant speed operation. 4. Mention the methods of starting of 3-phase synchronous motor. a. A D.C motor coupled to the synchronous motor shaft. b. A small induction motor coupled to its shaft.(pony method) c. Using damper windings –started as a squirrel cage induction motor. 5. What are the principal advantages of rotating field system type of construction of synchronous machines? · Form Stationary connection between external circuit and system of conditions enable the machine to handle large amount of volt-ampere as high as 500 MVA. · The relatively small amount of power required for field system can be easily supplied to the rotating field system via slip rings and brushes. · More space is available in the stator part of the machine for providing more insulation to the system of conductors. · Insulation to stationary system of conductors is not subjected to mechanical stresses due to centrifugal action. · Stationary system of conductors can easily be braced to prevent deformation.

In the testing of transformers the principal- qualities which may have to be investigated are :— (a)' Core losses. (b) Copper losses at all loads. (c) Efficiency at light loads as well as full load. (d) Heating at full load. (e) Regulation on all loads and power factors. (/) Insulation (not dealt with in the paper). The designer and manufacturer of the transformers may also require to know the extent to which the core loss is caused by hysteresis or eddy currents. In addition, it would be useful to deter- mine the excellence of the built-up magnetic circuit, having reference to the permeability of the iron and the low magnetic resistance of the joints.

    EE6402 – TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION UNIT-I 1. Why high voltage is preferred for power transmission? (MJ15, ND15, MJ16) As voltage increases, current flow through the line decreases and I2R loss reduces. So transmission efficiency increases. Therefore high voltage is preferred for power transmission. 2. State the disadvantages of HVDC transmission. (ND10) i) High cost of terminal equipment ii) Converters require considerable reactive power. iii) Harmonics are generated which requires filters. iv) Converters do not have overload capacity. 3. Why the transmission lines 3 phase 3 wire circuits while distribution lines are 3ϕ, 4 wire circuits? (ND10, ND13) A Balanced 3 phase circuit does not require the neutral conductor, as the instantaneous sum of the 3 line currents are zero. Therefore the transmission lines and feeders are 3 phase 3 wire circuits. The distributors are 3 phase 4 wire circuits because a neutral wire is necessary to supply the 1 phase loads of domestic and commercial consumers. 4. Define the terms feeders and service mains. (ND11, ND15) Feeders: It is a conductor which connects the substation to the area where power is to be distributed. Generally, no tappings are taken from the feeder. Service mains: A service main is generally a small cable which connects the distributor to the consumer’s terminal. 5. List out the advantages of high voltage A.C transmission. (ND11) i) The power can be generated at high voltages. ii) The maintenance of ac substation is easy and cheaper. 6. What is ring main distributor? (ND12, MJ17) In ring main distributor, the distributor is in the form of a closed ring.

The difficulties of building new lines and the pressure of having a high utilization of existing assets, makes the flexibility of grid systems increasingly important. This master thesis work investigates induction regulators as control devices for active power flow in a transmission system. A small change in angle of the rotor affects both the amplitude and the phase of the voltage. The magnetic coupling in the induction regulator can be controlled by changing the permeability of a thermo magnetic material such as gadolinium and can hence give a second independent controlling parameter.

    FOREWORD The level of voltage maintained at a consumer’s service entrance is one of the most important indicators of the quality of electric service which is being provided. The consumer is entitled, at all times, to a level of service voltage which will make it possible for equipment re- ceiving power from the system to operate effectively and efficiently. The voltage levels recommended by REA are given in Bulletin 169-4, "Voltage Levels on Rural Distribution Systems." These levels are based on American National Standard c84.l-l970, "Voltage Ratings for Electric Power Systems and Equipment (60 Hertz)." Both voltage regulators and shunt capacitors have a place in voltage control for a distribution system. Capacitors are more efficient in correcting chronically low voltage, especially where this can be realized as a side benefit to the capacitor's principal function of improving power factor. Voltage regulators provide a more effective correction of voltage swing caused by fluctuations in load or in the supply voltage. You should study not only this Bulletin (169-27) but also Bulletin l69-l, "The Application of Shunt Capacitors to the Rural Electric System" in evaluating the proper application of these devices to best suit your needs.
