(b) the direction of instantaneous torque reverses after half cycle
(c) startes cannot be used on these machines
(d) starting winding is not provided on the machines

(a) not start
(b) run at 2/3 of synchronous speed
(c) run with excessive vibrations
(d) take less than the rated load


Ans: a


3. A pony motor is basically a
(a) small induction motor
(b) D.C. series motor

5. A synchronous motor can be started by
(a) pony motor
(b) D.C. compound motor
(c) providing damper winding
(d) any of the above

(a) no slip-rings
(b) one slip-ring
(c) two slip-rings

(a) the motor stops
(b) it runs as a reluctance motor at the same speed
(c) it runs as a reluctance motor at a lower speed
(d) none of the above


Ans: a
 


9. When V is the applied voltage, then the breakdown torque of a synchronous motor varies as

Ans: c


11. A synchronous motor can be used as a synchronous capacitor when it is
(a) under-loaded
(b) over-loaded
(c) under-excited
(d) over-excited


Ans: d


12. A synchronous motor is running on a load with normal excitation. Now if the load on the motor is increased
(a) power factor as well as armature current will decrease
(b) power factor as well as armature current will increase
(c) power factor will increase but armature current will decrease
(d) power factor will decrease and armature current will increase


Ans: d


13. Mostly, synchronous motors are of
(a) alternator type machines
(6) induction type machines
(c) salient pole type machines
(d) smooth cylindrical type machines


Ans: c


14. The synchronous motor is not inherently self-starting because
(a) the force required to accelerate the rotor to the synchronous speed in an instant is absent
(b) the starting device to accelerate the rotor to near synchronous speed is absent
(c) a rotating magnetic field does not have enough poles
(d) the rotating magnetic field is produced by only 50 Hz frequency currents


Ans: a


15. As the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because
(a) the increased load has to take more current
(b) the rotor by shifting its phase backward causes motor to take more current
(c) the back e.m.f. decreases causing an increase in motor current
(d) the rotor strengthens the rotating field casuing more motor current


Ans: b


16. Synchronous motor always runs at
(a) the synchronous speed
(b) less than synchronous speed
(c) more than synchronous speed
(d) none of the above


Ans: a


17. An over-excited synchronous motor takes
(a) leading current
(b) lagging current
(c) both (a) and (b)
(d) none of the above


Ans: a


18. The working of a synchronous motor is similar to
(a) gear train arrangement
(b) transmission of mechancial power by shaft
(c) distribution transformer
(d) turbine
(e) none of the above


Ans: b


19. The minimum armature current of the synchronous motor corresponds to operation at
(a) zero power factor leading
(b) unity power factor
(c) 0.707 power factor lagging
(d) 0.707 power factor leading


Ans: b


20. In a synchronous motor, the magnitude of stator back e.m.f. & depends on
(a) d.c. excitation only
(b) speed of the motor
(c) load on the motor
(d) both the speed and rotor flux


Ans: a
