Answer: a
Explanation: Armature characteristic is also known as
regulation characteristic. It is so called due to the fact that
the difference in the terminal voltage helps to determine the
voltage deviation.
Answer: a
Explanation: Air gap line in the magnetization curve
represents the ideal nature of the machine considering no
saturation for the dc machine.

Answer: a
Explanation: At low values of the armature conductor, the
increase in the field current is very small to provide IaRa
drop. At large armature current,field current increases
sharply to compensate for the voltage drop caused by
armature reaction.
Answer: a
Explanation: Adding the armature resistance drop we can
obtain the external characteristic for a dc generator.

(ii)
a) Separately excited dc generator, shunt generator
b) Shunt generator, separately excited dc generator
c) Differentially compound dc generator, separately excited
d) Series dc generator, shunt generator
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: In dc shunt generator, voltage drops off much
more rapidly with load due to fal in field current with terminal
voltage.

Answer: a
Explanation: By aiding the series field the armature reaction
drop can be compensated.
Answer: a
Explanation: Over compounding provides maximum voltage
difference at no load while the differential compunding has
least.

Answer: a
Explanation: There is a linear behaviour till the saturation.
Answer: a
Explanation: The silicon steel has very high permeability
and makes the flux past consistent. Thereby making lesser
losses.

Answer: c
Explanation: Teeth of the machine has both eddy current
losses as well as hysteresis losses.
Answer: b
Explanation: In a level compound dc generator the terminal
voltage remains same as no load voltage at all the loading.

Answer: a
Explanation: The rotating amplifiers have stable transient
conditions, which makes them favourable to use in high
power sectors.
Answer: a
Explanation: The sluggish transient response of the
ordinary dc machines makes them inappropriate to use
them in amplidynes.
Answer: a
Explanation: Yes, the reaction mmf of the first stage is
made to act as field flux for second stage to have faster
transient response.

Answer: a
Explanation: The cross field machines have two fluxes
electrically in quadrature.
Answer: a
Explanation: There are two stages for flux generators in
order to have faster response in the system.
Answer: a
Explanation: Metadyne is negative feedback with respect to
main current flowing in the second stage set of motors.

Answer: a
Explanation: The d-flux is neutralized by compensating
winding at all possible loads as the same flux will be
produced but in the opposite direction so as to cancel the
flux.
Answer: a
Explanation: The resultant d-axis flux lies along the main
field poles and are so field flux. The d- axis is completely
under the control of field winding and is unaffected by direct
axis current.
Answer: a
Explanation: Amplidynes find applications in feedback
systems with large power handling requirements.

Rotating Amplifiers - Electrical Machines Quest... about:reader?url=https://www.sanfoundry.com/...
Answer: a
Explanation: Interpoles nullify armature cross magnetizing
flux and the reactance voltage. So it is more than the
armature mmf for a good efficient machine.
Answer: a
Explanation: The commutation in dc machines is delayed
because of the emf induced in the coils and the mutual
interaction of the field with neighbour coils.
