(D) leads the applied voltage by somewhat less than 90°

Ans: B

The primary input current under no load conditions has to supply (i) iron losses in the core i.e hysteresis loss and eddy current loss (ii) a very small amount of Cu loss in the primary (there being no Cu loss in secondary as it is open)

Q.95 The armature of a dc machine is laminated to reduce:

(A) Eddy current loss (B) Hysteresis loss

(C) copper losses (D) friction and windage losses

Ans: A

Thinner the laminations, greater is the resistance offered to the induced e.m.f., smaller the current and hence lesser the I2R loss in the core.

Q.97 A single phase Hysteresis motor

(A) can run at synchronous speed only

(B) can run at sub synchronous speed only

(C) can run at synchronous and super synchronous speed

(D) can run at synchronous and sub synchronous speed

Ans: A

The rotor revolves synchronously because the rotor poles magnetically lock up with the revolving stator poles of opposite polarity

98 The temperature of resistance furnaces can be controlled by changing the:

(A) applied voltage (B) number of heating elements

(C) circuit configuration (D) All of the above

Ans: D

Temperature of resistance furnaces can be controlled by changing either applied voltage or by number of heating elements or by circuit configuration

Q.99 The line trap unit employed in carrier current relaying:

(A) offers high impedance to 50 Hz power frequency signal

(B) offers high impedance to carrier frequency signal

(C) offers low impedance to carrier frequency signal

(D) Both (A) & (C)

Ans: B

The line trap unit employed in carrier current relaying offers high impedance to carrier frequency signal.

Because carrier frequency range is 35 km – 500 kHz

XL = 2Π f l

Where f increases XL will also increases
