SECTION-B
2.
What are the cooling methods applied for reduction of temperature rise of a transformer?
3.
Derive the output equation for design of a three phase transformer.
4.
Derive the condition for design of minimum cost in a transformer.
5.
Discuss the steps of calculations for designing number of stator slots and area of stator slots
of a three phase induction motor.
6.
A 3-phase, 4 pole induction motor has 24 slots. Calculate the order of slot harmonics
produced. It is desired to completely eliminate the higher order slot harmonic, find the
angle through which the bars must be skewed. Find the effect of skewing on the lower
order harmonic.

SECTION-C
7.
Determine the core dimensions, number of stator slots, number of stator conductors for a
10 kW, 415V, 3-Ph, 4 pole, 50 Hz. Motor. Assume winding factor 0.955, full load
efficiency 0.85, power factor 0.8. For the machine Bav = 0.35 Wb/ m2 ac = 20000 A/m.
Output coefficient C0 = 87.2, L/ = 0.83.
8.
Calculate the approximate overall dimensions for a 100 KVA, 6000/440V, 50 Hz. 3-Ph
core type transformer. Volts/ turn, Et = 10V, Flux density Bm = 1.1 Wb/ m2 , current
density = 2.5 A/ m2 , Winding factor Kw = 0.3, Overall height = overall width, stacking
factor 0.9. Use a 3-stepped core.
9.
Derive the equation of temperature rise with time in electric machines. What is heating
time constant? Briefly discuss about induced, forced, radial and axial ventilation. Write the
advantages of hydrogen cooling in turbo alternators.
