    North South University

    Midterm Exam, Summer 2021


    Course: EEE363
    Electrical machines
    Full marks: 45
    Time: 1 hr. 30 min
    Attempt any THREE out of four questions. [Figures in the margin denote full marks]

    1. (a) Draw the winding diagram of a simplex 2-layer lap winding for a 4-pole generator with 20
    coils. [8]

    (b) What is the purpose of commutator and compensating winding in a DC generator? Can you
    briefly explain the operation of interpoles? [3+4]

    2. (a) Briefly explain the impact of self-induced emf in a DC generator? What techniques are
    employed to minimize this impact? What measures are taken to overcome the demagnetizing
    effect in a generator? [4+2+2]

    (b) A DC shunt generator has a full-load current of 196 A at a terminal voltage of 220 V. The
    stray losses are 690W and the shunt field coil resistance is 55 ohm. The overall efficiency at
    full-load is 90%. Find (i) armature resistance (ii) constant losses and (iii) the load current
    corresponding to the maximum efficiency. [2+3+2]

    3. (a) Can you point out some differences between a shunt and a series motor? Can you explain
    analytically what happens to the torque and speed of a motor when the flux is varied? [3+4]

    (b) A 6-pole, 500V wave connected shunt motor has 1200 armature conductors and useful
    flux/pole of 20 mWb. The armature and the resistances are 0.50 ohm and 250 ohm respectively.
    What will be the speed and the torque developed by the motor when it draws 20A from the
    supply mains. If the magnetic and mech. losses amount to 900 W, find the efficiency of the
    machine for this load. [3+3+2]

    4. (a) Define critical resistance for a shunt generator. Can you describe the electronic speed
    control mechanism of a DC motor involving Thyristor and DIAC? [2+5]

    (b) What is ‘back emf’? Briefly explain its role in the performance of DC motor. [8]
