SECTION-B
11. Explain the working principle of a transformer and derive the emf equation of a single-
phase transformer.
12. Discuss the principle of operation of an auto transformer. Also compare it with two
winding transformer.
13. A 450kW, 400V, 8-pole, lap wound DC generator has 768 armature conductors. If the
brushes are given a lead of 6 electrical degrees, calculate the number of demagnetising and
cross magnetising ampere turns per pole at full load. Shunt field current may be neglected.

ratio of turns per phase is 16.
a) Star- Star
b) Star-Delta
c) Delta-Star
17. a) Explain the construction and working principle of a D.C. machines.
b) Explain the short circuit test of single-phase transformer.
18. Explain the following :
a) Any method of improving commutation.
b) Armature resistance control for speed control of DC motor.
