22 |
Question 1 Explanation:
First perform delta to star conversion
we know, for balanced load
Z_{star}=\frac{Z_{delta}}{3}=\frac{18+j24}{3}=6+j8\Omega
Draw the per phase diagram:
Z_{eq}=(6+j8)||(6+j8)=(3+j8)\Omega =5\angle 53.13^{\circ} \Omega
Therefore, Meter reading, I=\frac{100}{5}=20A
Z_{star}=\frac{Z_{delta}}{3}=\frac{18+j24}{3}=6+j8\Omega
Draw the per phase diagram:
Z_{eq}=(6+j8)||(6+j8)=(3+j8)\Omega =5\angle 53.13^{\circ} \Omega
Therefore, Meter reading, I=\frac{100}{5}=20A

R_m=50m\Omega
L_m=0.1 mH,
I=10A
We know,
R_{sh}=\frac{R_m}{(m-1)};
m=\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{10}{1}=10
R_{sh}=\frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{10-1}
\;\;=5.55m\Omega
For all frequencies time constant of shunt and meter arm should be equal.
\begin{aligned} i.e. \;\; \frac{\omega L_m}{R_m} &=\frac{\omega L_{sh}}{R_{sh}} \\ \frac{L_m}{R_m} &= \frac{L_{sh}}{R_{sh}}\\ \frac{L_m}{R_m} &= \frac{0.1 \times 10^{-3}}{50 \times 10^{-3}}\\ &=0.002=2ms \end{aligned}
I_m=1A,
R_m=50m\Omega
L_m=0.1 mH,
I=10A
We know,
R_{sh}=\frac{R_m}{(m-1)};
m=\frac{I}{I_m}=\frac{10}{1}=10
R_{sh}=\frac{50 \times 10^{-3}}{10-1}
\;\;=5.55m\Omega
For all frequencies time constant of shunt and meter arm should be equal.
\begin{aligned} i.e. \;\; \frac{\omega L_m}{R_m} &=\frac{\omega L_{sh}}{R_{sh}} \\ \frac{L_m}{R_m} &= \frac{L_{sh}}{R_{sh}}\\ \frac{L_m}{R_m} &= \frac{0.1 \times 10^{-3}}{50 \times 10^{-3}}\\ &=0.002=2ms \end{aligned}

Question 6 Explanation:
V_{BUS} \text{is} 100 kV_{rms}
C_1=1\mu F \pm 10\%
C_2=9\mu F \pm 10\%
To get maximum output voltage we need minimum C_2 and maximum C_1,
So, C_2=8.1\mu F and C_1=1.1\mu F
So, V_{out\;rms}=\left ( \frac{C_1}{C_1+C_2} \right )V_{BUS_{rms}}

Question 10 |
Two ammeters X and Y have resistances of 1.2 \Omega and 1.5 \Omega respectively and they give full-scale deflection with 150 mA and 250 mA respectively. The ranges have been extended by connecting shunts so as to give full scale deflection with 15 A. The ammeters along with shunts are connected in parallel and then placed
in a circuit in which the total current flowing is 15 A. The current in amperes indicated in ammeter X is_____.
10.28 | |
5.45 | |
15.85 | |
20.45 |
Question 10 Explanation:
Given, R_{m_X}=1.2\Omega ,
R_{m_Y}=1.5\Omega
I_{m_X}=0.15A,
I_{m_Y}=0.25A
and I= full scale deflection current=15A
\therefore Shunt multiplying factor for ammeter X is
m_X=\frac{I}{I_{m_X}}=\frac{15}{0.15}=100
and shunt multiplier resistance,
R_{{sh}_X}=\frac{R_{m_X}}{(m_X-1)}=\frac{12}{99}=0.012\Omega
Also, shunt multiplying factor for ammeteer Y is
m_Y=\frac{I}{I_{m_Y}}=\frac{15}{0.25}=60
and shunt multiplier resistance,
R_{{sh}_Y}=\frac{R_{m_Y}}{(m_Y-1)}=\frac{1.5}{59}=0.025\Omega
when these ammeters are connected in parrelel as shown in the figure below,
Let current in ammeter X be I_X then,
\begin{aligned} R_X&=\left ( \frac{ R_{{sh}_X} \cdot R_{m_X}} { R_{{sh}_X}+R_{m_X}} \right )\\ &= \left ( \frac{0.012 \times 1.2}{1.212} \right )\\ &= 0.011 \Omega \\ R_Y &=\left ( \frac{R_{{sh}_Y}\cdot R_{m_Y}}{R_{{sh}_Y}+R_{m_Y}} \right )\\ &= \left ( \frac{0.025 \times 1.5}{1.525} \right )\\ &=0.024\Omega \\ \therefore \; I_X &=\left (\frac{R_Y}{R_X+R_Y} \right )\times 15 \\ &=\left ( \frac{0.024}{0.035} \right ) \times 15 \\ &= 10.28A \end{aligned}
\therefore Current in ammeter X=10.28A
