Electrical Machines (D.C. Generators)

1. The basic requirement of a d.c. armature winding is that it must be (a) a closed one (b) a lap winding (c) a wave winding (d) either (b) or (c) 2. A wave winding must go at least ............ around the armature before it closes back where it started. (a) once (b) twice (c) thrice (d) four times 3. The d.c. armature winding in which coil sides are a pole pitch apart is called ............ winding. (a) multiplex (b) fractional-pitch (c) full-pitch (d) pole-pitch 4. For making coil span equal to a pole pitch in the armature winding of a d.c. generator, the back pitch of the winding must equal the number of (a) commutator bars per pole (b) winding elements (c) armature conductors per path (d) armature parallel paths. 5. The primary reason for making the coil span of a d.c. armature winding equal to a pole pitch is to (a) obtain a coil span of 180ยบ (electrical) (b) ensure the addition of e.m.fs. of consecutive turns (c) distribute

Electrical Machines (Armature Reaction in DC Generators)

1. In d.c. generators, armature reaction is produced actually by (a) its field current (b) armature conductors (c) field pole winding (d) load current in armature 2. In a d.c. generator, the effect of armature reaction on the main pole flux is to (a) reduce it (b) distort it (c) reverse it (d ) both (a) and (b) 3. In a clockwise-rotating loaded d.c. generator, brushes have to be shifted (a) clockwise (b) counter clockwise (c) either (a) or (b) (d) neither (a) nor (b). 4. The primary reason for providing compensating windings in a d.c. generator is to (a) compensate for decrease in main flux (b) neutralize armature mmf (c) neutralize cross-magnetising flux (d ) maintain uniform flux distribution. 5. The main function of interpoles is to minimize ............ between the brushes and the commutator when the d.c. machine is loaded. (a) friction (b) sparking (c) current (d ) wear and tear 6. In a 6-pole d.c. machine, 90 mechanical

Electrical Machines (Generator Characteristics)

1. The external characteristic of a shunt generator can be obtained directly from its —— characteristic. (a) internal (b) open-circuit (c) load-saturation (d ) performance 2. Load saturation characteristic of a d.c. generator gives relation between (a) V and Ia (b) E and Ia (c) E0 and If (d ) V and If 3. The slight curvature at the lower end of the O.C.C. of a self-excited d.c. generator is due  to (a) residual pole flux (b) high armature speed (c) magnetic inertia (d) high field circuit resistance. 4. For the voltage built-up of a self-excited d.c. generator, which of the following is not an  essential condition? (a) There must be some residual flux (b) Field winding mmf must aid the residual flux (c) Total field circuit resistance must be less than the critical value (d) Armature speed must be very high. 5. The voltage build-up process of a d.c. generator is (a) difficult (b) delayed (c) cumulative (d) infinite 6. Which of
