1. ln turbo-alternators, smooth cylindrical type rotors used have long axial length because ?

it gives smooth running of the rotor

it reduces windage loss

centrifugal force is reduced

number of armature conductors being less, they have to be necessarily long for generating the required voltage

Answer: number of armature conductors being less, they have to be necessarily long for generating the required voltage

Explanation:


2. Salient pole type rotors as compared to cylindrical pole type are ?

small in diameter as well as axial length

large in diameter as well as axial length

smaller in diameter and larger in axial length

larger in diameter and smaller in axial length

Answer: larger in diameter and smaller in axial length

Explanation:


3. Synchronous impedance method of finding voltage regulation of an alternator is called pessimistic method because ?

it is simplest to perform: and compute

it gives regulation value higher than is actually found by direct loading

armature reaction is wholly magnetising

none of the above

Answer: it gives regulation value higher than is actually found by direct loading

Explanation:


6. If the input to the prime mover of an alternator is kept constant but the excitation is changed then ?

the power factor of the load remains constant

the reactive component of the output is changed

the active component of the output is changed

none of the above

Answer: the reactive component of the output is changed

Explanation:


7. Large-diameter salient-pole rotors have short axial length mainly because ?

it occupies much less space

it reduces rotor weight

number of armature conductors held in the large circumference rotor being very large, they need not belong

it saves lot of copper in stator winding
