(a)

(i)

A 15KW, 230 V,4 pole dc machine has the following armature

diameter = 0.25m ; armature core length = 0.125 m, length of air
gap at pole center = 2.5 mm; flux per pole = 11.7X10 -3Wb,ratio pole
arc/pole pitch= 0.66 . Calculate the MMF required for the air gap
(i) If the armature surface is treated as smooth.
(ii) If the armature is slotted and the gap contraction factor is 1.18.

(ii) Derive the output equation of single phase transformer.

(OR)
(i) Determine the diameter and length of armature core of a 55KW,
110V, 1000rpm, 4 pole shunt generator, assuming specific electric
and magnetic loadings of 26000 amp.cond/m and 0.5Wb/m2
respectively. The pole arc should be 70% of pole pitch and length of
core about 1.1 times the pole arc. Allow 10amperee for field current
and assume a voltage of 4 volts for the armature circuit. Specify the
winding used and also determine suitable values for the number of
armature conductors and number of slots.
(i)

Calculate the MMF required for the air gap of a machine having
core length = 0.32m, including 4 ducts of 10 mm each; pole
arc=0.19m;slot pitch = 65.4 mm; slot opening = 5mm; air gap length
= 5mm ; flux per pole = 52mWb. Given carters coefficient is 0.18
for opening/gap=1; and is 0.28 for opening/gap= 2.

(ii) Derive the output equation of three phase transformer.

(i)

Explain the various steps involved in design of armature winding.

(ii) Calculate the core and window area required for a 1000KVA,
6600/400V, 50Hz, single phase core type transformer. Assume a
maximum flux density of 1.25Wb/m2 and a current density of 2.5
A/mm2, voltage per turn =30V, window space factor is 0.32.
