(Answer all five units, 5 X 10 = 50 Marks)
UNIT I
2 Explain the speed torque characteristics of a D.C series motor connected to a three phase fully
controlled converter.
OR
3 A separately excited D.C motor is supplied from 220 V, 50 Hz source through a 1- half wave controlled
converter. Its field is fed through 1-phase semi converter with zero degree firing angle delay. Motor
resistance Ra = 0.5 and motor constant = 0.5 V-sec/rad. For rated load torque 10 N-m at 1000 rpm
and for continuous ripple free current, determine the firing angle delay of the armature converter.
UNIT II
4 Describe the single phase four quadrant operation of D.C drive using dual converters.
OR
5 Draw speed-torque characteristic for regenerative braking operation of a D.C shunt motor and explain
the operation.
UNIT III
6 Derive the expressions for average motor current, ripple in motor current and average torque for
chopper fed separately excited D.C motor.
OR
7 Explain the two quadrant operation of chopper fed separately excited D.C motor.
UNIT IV
8 Discuss briefly the stator voltage control scheme of induction motor. Also draw and explain the speed
torque curves.
OR
9 A static Kramer drive is used for the speed control of a 6-pole SRIM fed from 400 V, 50 Hz supply. The
inverter is connected directly to the supply. If the motor is required to operate at 800 rpm, find the firing
advance angle of the inverter. Voltage across the open-circuited slip rings at stand-still is 600 V. Allow a
voltage drop of 0.7 V and 1.5 V across each of the diodes and thyristors respectively. Inductor drop is
neglected.
