(i)

Explain the general factors that influence the choice of specific

magnetic loading for rotating machines.
(ii) .
(OR)
(i) A design is required for a 50KW, 4pole, 600rpm, dc shunt generator,
the full load terminal voltage being 220V.If the maximum gap
density is 0.83Wb/m2 and the armature ampere conductors per meter
are 30000. Calculate suitable dimensions of armature core to give a
square pole face.
Assume that the full load armature voltage drop is 3 percent of the
rated terminal voltage, and that the field current is 1 percent of rated
full load current. Ratio of pole arc to pole pitch is 0.67.
(i)

State and explain various classes of insulating materials employed

in electrical machines and mention some insulating materials
involved in this.
(ii) Discuss in detail about the various duties of the electrical machines.
(OR)
(i) Discuss the various methods to determine the mmf required for teeth
of an electrical machine.
(ii) A 5KW, 4 pole, 250V, 1500 rpm shunt generator is designed to have
a square pole face .The loadings are: Average flux density in the gap
=0.42Wb/m2 and ampere conductor per meter = 15000.Find the
main dimensions of the machine. Assume fill load efficiency 0.87
and ratio of pole arc to pole pitch =0.66.
