multiple choice questions on synchronous machines # 2

                                  Hi friends, this post is about objectives of synchronous machine. Mcq's on synchronous machines which are asked recently in various competitive exams like Gate , Upsc exams and so on. check out and comment if you have any doubts regarding this bits..

C) very low voltage
D) very high voltage

Ans:B

5) In a large synchronous generator, the damper windings is provided for
A) absorption of energy of oscillations when operating in parallel with another alternator
B) suppression of spontaneous hunting when supplying power to a transmission line with high resistance/reactance ratio

Ans:D

6) Squirrel cage bars placed in the rotor pole faces of an alternator help reducing hunting
A) above synchronous speed only
B) below synchronous speed only
C) above and below synchronous speeds both
D) none of the above

Ans:C

7) Hydro-generators are generally employed to run at .................. rpm
