multiple choice questions on synchronous machines # 9

                                 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..

objectives on synchronous machine 9


1) In an alternator, the armature mmf will be in phase with the main field flux only when the load is purely
A) resistive
B) inductive
C) capacitive

Ans:C

2) A synchronous generator is feeding a zero power factor (lagging) load at rated current. The armature reaction is

C) cross-magnetizing
D) ineffective

Ans:B

3) The synchronous reactance is the

B) reactance due to leakage flux
C) combined reactance due to leakage flux and armature reaction
D) reactance either due to armature reaction or leakage flux

Ans:C

4) Drop in terminal voltage of an alternator due to armature reaction is countered by

Ans:D

5) The saturated synchronous reactance of an alternator is ......... its unsaturated synchronous reactance
A) more than
B) less than
C) equal to
D) none of these

Ans:B

6) In an alternator, short-circuit current is limited by the

B) unsaturated synchronous impedance
C) either of the above
D) none of these

Ans:B

7) The power factor on which an alternator operates depends on the

D) copper losses

Ans:B

8) Unbalanced 3-phase stator currents cause
