3. Discuss in detail various operating torques needed for proper operation of an analog
indicating instruments.
4. Explain the methods of separation of iron losses into their two components : eddy current
and hysteresis losses if the maximum value of flux density is maintained constant and
a) frequency is varied keeping the form factor constant
b) form factor is varied keeping the frequency constant.
5. Explain the function and working of Wagner Earth Devices.
SECTION-C
6. A slide wire potentiometer is used to measure the voltage between two points of a certain
d.c circuit. The potentiometer reading is 1.0V. Across the same two points when a 10,000
?/V voltmeter is connected, the indicated reading on the voltmeter is 0.5V on its 5V
range. Calculate the input resistance between the two points.
7. Discuss the different problems associated with measurement of low resistances. Explain
the principle of working a Kelvin Double Bridge and explain how the effect of contact
resistance and resistance of leads is eliminated.
8. A current transformer of nominal ratio 1000/5 A, is operating with total secondary
impedance 0.4 + j0.3 ?. At rated current the components of primary current associated
with the core magnetizing and the core loss effects are respectively 6A and 1.5A. The
primary winding has 4 turns. Calculate the ratio error and phase angle at rated primary
current if the secondary winding has :
a) 800 turns
b) 795 turns
9. Discuss the following :
a) Self-balancing potentiometer
b) Determination of B-H curve
NOTE : Disclosure of Identity by writing Mobile No. or Making of passing request on any
page of Answer Sheet will lead to UMC against the Student.
