1) The single phase induction motor circuit shown below is used in the ceiling fan of your hostel
room. Assume the value of capacitance C1 and C2 as R+M nF.
1.1) What will be the value of starting capacitor and running capacitor in nano Farads? (1 mark)
1.2) Assuming L1=W mH L2=W mH, With the supply voltage of 230+M V, calculate the current
(in A) from the source during running condition. (2 mark)
1.3) Assume the motor is already running and the capacitor C1 burns due to some external reasons.
Choose whether the motor will continue to run or it will come to rest position? (1 mark)
a) Motor will run b) Motor will come to rest position
1.4) Now you have turned off the supply and start debugging the circuit. Your CR comes to your
rescue by replacing C1 with the old working capacitor taken from another hostel room, but still the
motor is not running but it makes a noise now! To solve this issue, our ML guys suggested CR
(through google meet) to rotate the blades (additional torque) so that it will start running. Even after
rotating in a particular direction by CR, the motor is not starting. One more suggestion came to
rotate the blades in a opposite direction, but CR is not ready to listen (as always!) and told he will
rotate in the same direction only and asks you to modify the circuit such that the motor starts
running. Eventhough changing CR is an better option, what modifications can be done in the
electric circuit to start the motor and explain the reason for not starting when he provided the
additional torque in a particular direction? (2 mark)
2) From the development diagram shown below, find the different characteristics of the machine
2.2) Find the number of conductors and number of poles in the machine (1 mark)
2.3) Calculate the front pitch and back pitch corresponding to the given development diagram (2
mark)
2.4) What will be voltage generated (in V) in the machine when driven at (1000+R+M) rpm
assuming the flux per pole to be M mWb (milli weber) (2 mark)
3) A DC shunt motor is uded to drive a Constant Torque mechanical load. ICE students are
interested in understanding the effects on armature current and motor speed while making certain
changes on the electrical side. Assume that the rated voltage, rated current (armature and field
current) gives the rated torque and speed. Express armature current and speed in per unit when the
following changes are made on the electrical side
3.1) Field current reduced to give half flux
3.2) Armature supply voltage is halved
3.3) Both armature voltage and field flux are halved
Students can select the answer for both armature current (3 x 1= 3 mark) and speed (3 x 1= 3
mark) from the following set (reptitation of answers are allowed)
a) 0.5 b) 1 c) 2 d) 4 e) None of the above f) Data insufficient g) God only knows!.
4.1) A 8-pole, 660+R+M V, 100 kW three phase induction motor is manufactured in India (Made in
India) and exported to US for their industrial applications. Calculate the full load torque (in N-m)
and maximum torque (in N-m) if the full load slip is 0.05 and slip at maximum torque is 0.3 (2
marks)
4.2) A similar 100 kW, 8-pole, 660+R+M V three phase induction motor is now designed and
manufactured for industries operating in India. If the motor is running at 700+M rpm in the
direction same as that of field. Calculate rotor current frequency and find the mode of operation. (2
marks)
4.3) A 4-pole dc motor is lap-wound with 400 conductors. The pole shoe is 20 cm long and average
flux density over one-pole-pitch is 0.4 T, the armature diameter being 30 cm. Find the torque and
gross mechanical power developed when the motor is drawing 20+W A and running at 1500+R+M
rpm (2 marks)
