Practice Test: Question Set - 01
1. 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 causing
more motor current
2. A synchronous motor can be made self starting by providing
- (A) Damper winding on rotor poles
- (B) Damper winding on stator
- (C) Damper winding on stator as well as rotor poles
- (D) None of the above
3. Riunting in a synchronous motor takes place
- (A) When supply voltage fluctuates
- (B) When load varies
- (C) When power factor is unity
- (D) Motor is under loaded
4. Synchronous motors are
- (A) Not-self starting
- (B) Self-starting
- (C) Essentially self-starting
- (D) None of the above
5. An over excited synchronous motor is used for
- (A) Fluctuating loads
- (B) Variable speed loads
- (C) Low torque loads
- (D) Power factor corrections
6. In a synchronous motor running with fixed excitation, when the load is increased three times, its torque angle becomes approximately
- (A) One-third
- (B) Twice
- (C) Thrice
- (D) Six times
7. Change of D.C. excitation of a synchronous motor changes
- (A) Applied voltage of the motor
- (B) Motor speed
- (C) Power factor of power drawn by the motor
- (D) Any of the above
8. Armature of a synchronous machine is
- (A) Of reducing number of slip rings on the rotor
- (B) Armature is associated with large power as compared
to the field circuits
- (C) Of difficulty of providing high voltage insulation
on rotor
- (D) All of the above reasons
9. A synchronous motor is running with normal excitation. When the load is increased, the armature current drawn by it increases because
- (A) Speed of the motor is reduced
- (B) Power factor is decreased
- (C) Eb (back e.m.f.) becomes less than V
(applied voltage)
- (D) Er (net resultant voltage) in armature is
increased
10. Due to which of the following reasons a synchronous motor fails to pull into synchronism after applying D.C. field current?
- (A) High field current
- (B) Low short circuit ratio
- (C) High core losses
- (D) Low field current
