    Note : Answer ALL Questions.

    1. What is the principle of operation of reluctance machine? In reluctance machines, torque is produced by the tendency of the rotor to move to a position where the inductance of the excited stator winding is maximized (i.e., rotor tooth aligns with active stator phase to minimize reluctance). The rotor is typically constructed of soft magnetic iron shaped so as to maximize the variation of inductance with rotor position. Opposite poles form a phase and the phases are magnetically independent of one another. The machines tend to be noisy; a characteristic that has limited their applications in the past and has also limited their use currently in vehicles. Research has been on-going for years in an attempt to address the noise issue, but little has been accomplished in actual noise mitigation. Reluctance machines are relatively low-cost machines, and they generally do not contain PMs. 2. What is meant by reluctance torque? The torque which is exhibited on the rotor due to the difference in reluctance in the air gap (or) a function of angular position of rotor with respect to the stator coil is known as reluctance torque. 3. What are the advantages of Synchronous reluctance motor? Rotor is simple in construction i.e. very low inertia

    Robust Low torque, ripple Can be operated from standard PWM AC Inverters. It can be also built with a standard induction motor, stator and windings.

    4. State the applications of Synchronous reluctance motor? It is used for constant speed applications i.e. timing devices, signalling devices, Recording instruments and phonograph. It is used in automatic processors such as in food processing and packaging industries. Used in high speed applications. Synthetic fibre manufacturing equipment Wrapping and folding machines. Synchronized conveyors. 5. Compare Synchronous reluctance motor and Induction motor. S.No. 1. 2. 3. 4. Synchronous reluctance motor Better efficiency High cost Low power factor Used for low and medium power application Induction motor Efficiency is low Low cost High power factor Used for high power application

    6. Mention the different types of stepper motor? Variable Reluctance stepper motor 1. Single stack 2. Multi stack Permanent magnet stepper motor Hybrid stepper motor Outer rotor stepper motor 7. Mention the features of stepper motor? Small step angle High positioning accuracy High torque inertia ratio Stepping rate

    Pulse frequency 8. Why interleaving is done in a stepper motor? Interleaving is done in the stepper motor to decrease the step angle and thus increasing the resolution. 9. What are the different modes of excitation in stepper motor? Single phase excitation Two phase excitation Half step mode Mini-step drive 10. Define: Step Angle of stepper motor? A stepping motor rotates through a fixed angle for every pulse. The rated value of this angle is called the step angle and expressed in degrees.
