Note: i) Attempt any five questions

ii) All questions carry equal marks.

1.
a)

What happens during the transient state when starting or stopping a DC machine, and how can we analyze it?

b)

A 200 V DC series motor with an armature resistance Ra = 0.4 Ω and an inductance La = 0.02 H is initially at rest. Assume the motor develops an EMf constant k is 0.28 V/rad/s. zero. The motor's back EMf constant k is 0.8 V/rad/s.

  1. Write the expression for the transient current Ia (t) through the armature at startup.
  2. Calculate the armature current Ia (t) after t = 0.1s. V = 200V.

a)

What is the purpose of the cross-field arrangement in commutator machines, and how does it affect machine operation?

b)

Derive the power flow through the equivalent circuit of an induction machine and explain how it represents mechanical output power.

3.
a)

How does the induction machine recover from a three-phase fault, and what factors influence the recovery time?

b)

A three-phase induction motor is rated at 400 V, 50 Hz, with a stator resistance Rs = 0.5 Ω and a stator reactance Xs = 1 Ω. The rotor resistance referred to the stator side is R'r = 0.3 Ω and the rotor reactance referred to the stator side is X'r = 0.5 Ω. The core loss is negligible. If the slip is 4%, calculate: The equivalent rotor impedance Z'r and the current I'r in the rotor referred to the stator side.

A synchronous generator has a field winding resistance Rf = 0.1 Ω and a field inductance Lf = 0.1 H. Calculate: The field winding time constant Tf and the response of the field current if the field voltage is suddenly removed, given that the initial current is 50 A.

b)

How does the Park's transformation help in analyzing the transient response of a synchronous machine during disturbances like faults or sudden load changes?
