be controlled c. over compensated cross feed mechanism
a. frequency can be controlled by varying d. all the above are true
d.c. field current of motor (Ref. General)
b. voltage can be controlled by varying
d.c. field current of alternator 49. When two d.c. generators are running
c. both a & b are correct in parallel and it is found they do not share
d. none of the above equal load, in this case load sharing can be
(Ref. EHJ Pallet, 65) done on ground by the technician:
a. by adjusting ballast resistance used in
46. When the generator is overloaded, how series with the shunt coil of carbon pile
it will be protected: voltage regulator
a. it will heat up b. by adjusting trimmer used in series
b. disconnected by thermal switch with the shunt coil of carbon pile voltage
c. load will be heat up regulator
d. it will be automatically tripped c. by adjusting the current in equalizing
(Ref. EHJ Pallet, 120) coil
d. all the above are true
47. Why it is unnecessary to flush field of (Ref. TK Eismin – 200)
the exciter on a brushless generator:
a. the exciter is constantly by battery 50. The synchronous motor works on the
voltage principle of:
b. brushless generator do not have exciter a. induction motor
c. permanent magnets are installed in b. constant speed
the main field c. rotating magnetic field
d. the slip ring employed by the brushless d. field excitation
alternator retain a permanent charge (Ref. TK Eismin – 186)
