56. In the transformer, following winding has got more cross-section area:
(1) Low voltage winding (2) High voltage winding
(3) Primary winding (4) Secondary winding
56. Ans: (1)
Sol: The current in Low voltage winding is high as compared to High voltage winding, therefore the cross
sectional area has to be more for low voltage winding.
57. The maximum efficiency of a distribution transformer is

(1) at no load (2) at 50% full load
(3) at 80% full load (4) at full load
57. Ans: (3)
Sol: The load on the distribution transformer varies from time to time and the transformer will be on no-load
most of the time. Hence in distribution transformer the copper loss (which depends on load) will be
more when compared to core loss (which occurs as long as transformer is in operation). Hence distri-
bution transformers are designed with less iron loss and designed to have the maximum efficiency at a
load lesser than full load. Maximum efficiency occurs at 70-80% of full load.

device. For all larger rated and important distribution transformers, over current protection along with
restricted earth fault protection is applied.

decrease when ever it reaches to synchronous speed.

86. It is advisable to avoid line starting of induction motor and use starter because
(1) motor takes five to seven times its full load current
(2) It will pick up very high speed and may go out of step
(3) it will run in reverse direction
(4) starting torque is very high
86. Ans: (1)
Sol: The purpose of starters is to limit high starting current (5 to 8 times the full-load current). Three phase induction
motor draws very high starting current, if such high current flows through the winding for longer time, the motor
winding will be damaged. Hence to limit such a high starting current, starters are required.

only the connection of any two of the three phases and keeping the third one same. By doing this procedure motor
will run in reverse direction.

(1) run at very high speed (2) run at very low speed
(3) make noise (4) not run

current which is zero, therefore the motor not run.

same supply voltage, the load torque is increased by 44%. The speed of the motor in rpm (rounded to the nearest
integer) is
(1) 600 to 624 (2) 725 to 730 (3) 755 to 759 (4) 823 to 827
142. Ans: (4)
Sol: Given,
Machine = DC series motor

Initial armature current, Ia1 = 10 A
Initial speed, N1 = 1000 rpm
Series resistance, Rs = 1 
Load torque increased by 44%

` T2 T1 100 T1
= 1.44 T1
[Where T2 = Final load torque and T1= Initial load torque]

Ia2 = Ia1 1.2 = 12 A

Equivalent circuit in initial, final cases are as follows:

Ia1 = 10A Rs = 1 
Vt = 200V Eb1 = Vt – Ia1 Rs

= 200 – 1 10
Eb1 = 190 V
(Initial case)
Ia2 = 12A Rs = 1 
Vt = 200V Eb2 = Vt – Ia2 Rs

= 200 – 12 1
Eb2 = 188 V
N2 = ?
(Final case)
We know, In a DC Machine
Eb = Ka
Eb  
Eb  N
Eb  IaN
(∵ in series motor  If = Ia)
Eb1 Ia1 N1
Eb2 Ia2 N2

188 12 # N2
N2 = 824.56 rpm = 825 rpm (nearest integer)
 Speed of the motor = 825 rpm

and 10 nF/km/phase respectively. The sending end voltage is maintained at 400 kV. To maintain a voltage of
400 kV at the receiving end, when the line is delivering 300 MW load, the shunt compensation required is
