Electrical Interview questions Part 16

Q: Do you know the advantages of speed controlusing thyristor?
A: Advantages:
1. Fast Switching Characterstics than Mosfet, BJT, IGBT
2. Low cost
3. Higher Accurate.

Q: Name the different types of motors used in vacuum cleaners, phonographic appliances, vending machines, refrigerators, rolling mills, lathes, power factor improvement and cranes.
A: Following motors are used: -
• Vacuum cleaners- Universal motor.
• Phonographic appliances – Hysteresis motor.
• Vending machines – Shaded pole motor.
• Refrigerators – Capacitor split phase motors.
• Rolling mills – Cumulative motors.
• Lathes – DC shunt motors.
• Power factor improvement – Synchronous motors.

Q: In the motors starting purpose why the armature rheostats at maximum position while the field rheostat is kept in minimum position?
A: In the time of starting a motor the field rheostat is kept in minimum state for the high starting torque.

In the time of starting a motor the armature rheostats is used to control or reduce the high starting current. This high starting current can damage the motors starting systems.

Q: What's the other name for short circuit?

A: fault.


Q: Name power losess in rotating electrical machines.
A: Power losess in rotating electrical machines are Copper losses, core losses, mechanical losses and stray losses.

Q: What is the significance of vector grouping in Power Transformers?

A: Every power transformer carries a vector group listed by its manufacturer. Fundamentally it tells you the information about how the windings are connected (delta or wye) and the phace difference betweent the current and voltage. EG. DYN11 means Delta primary, Wye Secondry and the current is at 11 o clock reffered to the voltage.

Q:State the factors, for the choice of electrical system for an aero turbine.
A:The choice of electrical system for an aero turbine is guided by three factors:
• Type of electrical output: dc, variable- frequency ac, and constant- frequency ac.
• Aero turbine rotational speed: constant speed with variable blade pitch, nearly constant speed with simpler pitch- changing mechanism or variable speed with fixed pitch blades.
• Utilization of electrical energy output: in conjunction with battery or other form of storage, or interconnection with power grid.

Q:What are the operation carried out in Thermal power station?

A: The water is obtained in the boiler and the coal is burnt so that steam is obtained this steam is allowed to hit the turbine, the turbine which is coupled with the generator generates the electricity

Q: What is the diff. btwn. Electronic regulator and ordinary rheostat regulator for fans?

A: The difference between the electronic and ordinary regulator is the fact that in electronic reg. power losses tend to be less because as we minimize the speed the electronic reg. give the power necessary for that particular speed but in case of ordinary rheostat type reg. the power wastage is same for every speed and no power is saved. In electronic regulator triac is employed for speed control. by varying the firing angle speed is controlled but in rheostatic control resistance is decreased by steps to achievespeed control.

Q: What is 2 phase motor?

A: A two phase motor is often a motor with the the starting winding and the running winding have a phase split. e. g; ac servo motor. where the auxiliary winding and the control winding have a phase split of 90 degree.

Q:What does quality factor depend on in resonance?

A:Quality factor q depends on frequency and bandwidth.

Q:What are the types of power in electrical power?

A: There are normally three types of power are counted in electrical power. They are,

· Apparent power

· Active power

· Reactive power

Q:What are the advantages of VSCF wind electrical system?

A:Advantages of VSCF wind electrical system are:

• No complex pitch changing mechanism is needed.

• Aero turbine always keeps going at maximum efficiency point.

• Extra energy in the high wind speed region of the speed - duration curve can be extracted

• Significant reduction in aerodynamic stresses, which are associated with constant - speed operation.

Q:What is slip in an induction motor?

A:Slip can be defined as the distinction between the flux speed (Ns) and the rotor speed (N). Speed of the rotor of an induction motor is always less than its synchronous speed. It is usually expressed as a percentage of synchronous speed (Ns) and represented by the symbol ‘S’.

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Winding Pitches

Now we will consider the definitions of different types of winding pitches, required in the design of the armature winding. 1.1 Back Pitch         The distance which is measured interns of armature conductors i.e. between top and bottom coil sides of a coil measured around the back of the armature i.e. away from the commutator is called back pitch and is denoted by . It is measured interms of coil sides. Note : Since it is difference between odd and even number, it is always odd number.        The size of the coil is decided by the back pitch. The back pitch is normally equal to coilsides per pole. It is shown for lap and wave type of winding in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1        The back pitch for the winding shown in the Fig. 1 is y b = 14 - 1 = 13 as coilsides 1and 14 are of coil number 1. 1.2 Front Pitch        It is defined as the distance measured between two c...
