BASIC ELECTRICAL TECHNOLOGY (ELE 101)

Time: 3 hours Max. Marks: 50Note : Answer any FIVEfull questions.

Missing data, if any, may be suitably assumed.

1A. Define and explain the significance of the term temperature coefficient of resistance.

The field winding of a motor has a resistance of 500 at 15 0C. By how much will the resistance

increase if the motor attains a temperature of 450C, when it is running? The winding is made of

copper and its temperature coefficient of resistance at 0 0C is 0.00428/0C. (03)

1B. Determine the resistance between the points A and B using stardelta transformation in Fig Q1B (04)

1C. In the circuit shown in Fig. Q1C, find the current through all resistors by mesh current analysis. (03)

2A. Two similar inductive coils with negligible resistance are wound on the same core. Whenexcited by a 200V, 50Hz source, the first coil takes 5.2A and the emf induced in the second

coil is 50V. Find the self inductance of the two coils, mutual inductance between the two

coils and the coupling coefficient. (04)

2B. For the network shown in Fig Q2B the switch is in position 1 at t = 0 and is moved to position 2 at

t = 10 ms. Determine iL(t) for 0 t and sketch the current variation with respect to time. (03)

2C. A mild steel ring having a cross sectional area of 400 mm2and a mean circumference of 400 mm

has a coil of 200 turns wound uniformly around it. Relative permeability of mild steel is 300. It is

required to produce a flux of 800x106wb in the ring. Determine

a) Reluctance of the ring b) Excitation current required. (03)

3A. Analytically derive the phasor relationship between voltage and current in a pure inductor. Hence

show that average power consumed by the inductor is zero. Draw the waveform showing voltage,

current and power. (03)

3B. A single phase circuit comprises of two lagging loads, which are connected in series and dissipate

800W and 1000W respectively. Two voltmeters connected across each load read 100V and 200V

respectively. If the current flowing through the circuit is 10A, determine (i) Applied voltage

(ii) power factor of the combination. (04)

3C. An inductive load takes 60A of a single phase a. c. supply of 230 volt, 50 Hz at a p. f. of 0. 6 lagging.

Calculate the value of capacitance to be connected across the load to raise the power facter of the

combined circuit to 0.9 lagging. Also calculate the active, reactive and apparent powers after

power factor improvement. (03)

4A. A symmetrical 3 phase, RYB sequence, 3 wire, 400V, 50 Hz supply feeds an unbalanced star

connected load. The branch impedances of the load are ZR= (8.66+j5) , ZY = (7.07j7.07) and

ZB=(10+j17.32) . Calculate the three line currents by converting star connected load to

equivalent delta connected load. Hence determine the voltages across the original star connected

impedances. Take VRYas reference. (06)

4B. With a neat sketch, explain the operation of a StarDelta starter used with 3 phase induction

motor. (04)
