multiple choice questions on synchronous machines # 4

                                   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..

mcq's on synchronous machine

A) 3000, 300 and 1500
B) 3000, 3000 and 300
C) 1500, 1500 and 3000
D) 1000, 900 and 750

Ans:B

2) The aircraft alternators are designed to generate emf of high frequency of 400 Hz in order to
A) reduce the bulk
B) compensate for high speeds
C) make the systems free from external disturbances
D) all of the above

Ans:A

3) Armature winding is one in which
A) emf is induced by the leakage flux
B) emf is induced by the main or working flux
C) working or main flux is created by the field current
D) working or main flux is created by the armature current

Ans:B

4) Armature winding in ac machines
A) is always closed one
B) is always open one
C) may be either closed one giving delta connections or open one giving star connections

Ans:C

5) The stator of modern alternators are wound for ...................... phase groups
A) 180°
B) 120°
C) 60°
D) 240°

Ans:C

6) Concentrated winding has
A) one coil per phase
B) two coils per phase
C) one coil per pair of poles per phase
D) one coil side per pole pair per phase

Ans:C

7) For a two layer winding the number of stator slots is equal to the number of
A) poles
B) conductors
C) coil sides
D) coils

Ans:D

8) For a concentrated winding the polar group of each phase is ..................... electrical degrees apart
A) 360
B) 180
C) 120
