(MECPOW1) POWER CONTROL AND CONVERSION – FIRST GRADING EXAM
I. True or False: Write T if the statement is true and F if otherwise, erasures are considered wrong
answers
1. _____ High Starting Torques can be attained with the help of reduced voltage starting methods of
induction motor
2. _____ Emergency STOP button which when operated, actuator latches in the off position
3. _____ The making and breaking current capacity of Contactors will be matched over load currents
5. _____The motor that is used to drive a basic type pedestal drilling machine is an example of automatic
control
6. _____ Contactors are generally designed for switching short circuit currents
7. _____ For a no voltage release, When the motor is running and if the supply to the Contactor coil fails,
then motor will stop
8. _____ For a no voltage protection When the motor is running and if the supply to the Contactor coil
fails, then motor will stop
9. _____ In motor circuits, fuse are used for protection of motor against short circuits and ground faults
10. _____Electrical contactors are designed for high switching frequency, long life and short switching
times.
13. _____Start button is a green color actuator which when pressed will perform operates a normally
closed contact
14. _____Over load protection is provided for electrical motor against over heating
15. _____ The making and breaking current capacity of Contactors will be matched to its starting capacity
17. _____ Emergency STOP button which when operated, actuator latches in the off position
18. _____ Emergency Stop button actuator must be mounted on yellow color background
19. _____ Over load protection is used for single phase motors
20. _____ High inrush currents during starting can be reduced by employing reduced voltage starting
methods
_________________________1. NEMA
_________________________ 2. EEMAC
_________________________ 3. The usual rating found on all type of motors used in the industry
_________________________ 4. A diagram that attempts to illustrate the physical location of all components.
_________________________ 5. A diagram that is used when designing control circuitry, installation and
troubleshooting
_________________________7. A kind of protection when components are placed or installed in the circuit to
protect the motor
_________________________8. Defined as the operation in which the motor runs when a pushbutton Is
pressed and will stop when the push button is released.
_________________________9. Defined as the operation in which the motor reverses in its direction when a
pushbutton is pressed.
2. Differentiate service factor from Full load Ampere ratings of motor contactors or starters
Calculate overcurrent device ratings(2-5 pts.), fuse - branch circuit ampacities(2-5pts. each), as well as
overload device ratings of 3 motors(1-3Pts each) having 5HP, 71/2HP and 25HP rating with S.F. of 1.25,
1.15,1.15 respectively show all calculations below
