Why are carbon brushes preferred for dc machines?
Why OC test is generally performed on LV side of a transformer?
Why SC test is generally performed on HV side of a transformer?
A d.c series motor having a resistance of 1 ohm drives a fan for which the torque varies as the
square of the speed. At 220 V the set runs at 350 rpm and takes 25 A. The speed is to be raised to
rpm by increasing the voltage. Determine the necessary voltage and the corresponding current
assuming the field to be unsaturated.
Two series motors run at the speed of 500 rpm and 550 rpm respectively when taking 50 A at 500
V. The terminal resistance of each motor is 0.5 ohm. Calculate the speed of the combination when
connected in series and coupled mechanically. The combination is taking 50A on 500V supply
Why an induction motor is called rotating transformer?
Why an induction motor will never run at its synchronous speed?
An Induction motor has 4 poles and it is energized from a 50hz supply. If the machine runs on full
load at 2% slip, determine synchronous speed and running speed and frequency of rotor current.

1. The inverter is one of the most primitive CMOS circuits that are widely used in digital IC design,
e.g. dynamic logic, astable circuits, etc. Oscillator is a circuit that may employ inverters as the
core of its circuitry. Designing an oscillator at low frequency is a straightforward task, but a high
performance oscillator at high-performance oscillator at high frequency requires more careful
