1. What is a differential amplifier? Also, explain CMRR.


Differential Amplifier: The amplifier,
which is used to amplify the voltage
difference between two input-lines
neither of which is grounded, is called
differential amplifier. This reduces the
amount of noise injected into the
amplifier, because any noise appearing
simultaneously on both the inputterminals as the amplifying circuitry
rejects it being a common mode signal.
CMRR: It can be defined as the ratio of
differential voltage-gain to common
made voltage gain. If a differential
amplifier is perfect, CMRR would be
infinite because in that case common
mode voltage gain would be zero.

2. Why star delta starter is preferred with induction motor?


Star delta starter is preferred with
induction motor due to following
reasons:
Starting current is reduced 3-4 times of
the direct current due to which voltage
drops and hence it causes less losses.
Star delta starter circuit comes in circuit
first during starting of motor, which
reduces voltage 3 times, that is why
current also reduces up to 3 times and
hence less motor burning is caused.
In addition, starting torque is increased
and it prevents the damage of motor
winding.

3. State the difference between generator and alternator


Generator and alternator are two
devices, which converts mechanical
energy into electrical energy. Both have
the same principle of electromagnetic
induction, the only difference is that their
construction. Generator persists
stationary magnetic field and rotating
conductor which rolls on the armature
with slip rings and brushes riding against
each other, hence it converts the induced
emf into dc current for external load
whereas an alternator has a stationary
armature and rotating magnetic field for
high voltages but for low voltage output
rotating armature and stationary
magnetic field is used.

4. Why AC systems are preferred over DC systems?


Due to following reasons, AC systems are
preferred over DC systems:
a. It is easy to maintain and change the
voltage of AC electricity for transmission
and distribution.
b. Plant cost for AC transmission (circuit
breakers, transformers etc) is much lower
than the equivalent DC transmission
c. From power stations, AC is produced
so it is better to use AC then DC instead
of converting it.
d. When a large fault occurs in a network,
it is easier to interrupt in an AC system,
as the sine wave current will naturally
tend to zero at some point making the
current easier to interrupt.

5. How can you relate power engineering with electrical


engineering?
Power engineering is a sub division of
electrical engineering. It deals with
generation, transmission and distribution
of energy in electrical form. Design of all
power equipments also comes under
power engineering. Power engineers may
work on the design and maintenance of
the power grid i.e. called on grid systems
and they might work on off grid systems
that are not connected to the system.

7. Why back emf used for a dc motor? highlight its


significance.
The induced emf developed when the
rotating conductors of the armature
between the poles of magnet, in a DC
motor, cut the magnetic flux, opposes
the current flowing through the
conductor, when the armature rotates, is
called back emf. Its value depends upon
the speed of rotation of the armature
conductors. In starting, the value of back
emf is zero.

10. What are the different methods for the starting of a


synchronous motor.
Starting methods: Synchronous motor can be
started by the following two methods:
By means of an auxiliary motor: The rotor
of a synchronous motor is rotated by
auxiliary motor. Then rotor poles are excited
due to which the rotor field is locked with
the stator-revolving field and continuous
rotation is obtained.
By providing damper winding: Here, bar
conductors are embedded in the outer
periphery of the rotor poles and are shortcircuited with the short-circuiting rings at
both sides. The machine is started as a
squirrel cage induction motor first. When it
picks up speed, excitation is given to the
rotor and the rotor starts rotating
continuously as the rotor field is locked with
stator revolving field.

12. State Thevenins Theorem:


According to thevenins theorem, the
current flowing through a load resistance
Connected across any two terminals of a
linear active bilateral network is the ratio
open circuit voltage (i.e. the voltage
across the two terminals when RL is
removed) and sum of load resistance and
internal resistance of the network. It is
given by Voc / (Ri + RL).

13. State Nortons Theorem


The Nortons theorem explains the fact that
there are two terminals and they are as
follows:
One is terminal active network containing
voltage sources
Another is the resistance that is viewed
from the output terminals. The output
terminals are equivalent to the constant
source of current and it allows giving the
parallel resistance.
The Nortons theorem also explains about
the constant current that is equal to the
current of the short circuit placed across the
terminals. The parallel resistance of the
network can be viewed from the open circuit
terminals when all the voltage and current
sources are removed and replaced by the
internal resistance.

14. State Maximum power transfer theorem


The Maximum power transfer theorem
explains about the load that a resistance
will extract from the network. This
includes the maximum power from the
network and in this case the load
resistance is being is equal to the
resistance of the network and it also
allows the resistance to be equal to the
resistance of the network. This resistance
can be viewed by the output terminals
and the energy sources can be removed
by leaving the internal resistance behind.

15. Explain different losses in a transformer.


There are two types of losses occurring in
transformer:
Constant losses or Iron losses: The losses that
occur in the core are known as core losses or iron
losses. Two types of iron losses are:
o eddy current loss
o Hysteresis loss.
These losses depend upon the supply voltage,
frequency, core material and its construction. As
long as supply voltage and frequency is constant,
these losses remain the same whether the
transformer is loaded or not. These are also known
as constant losses.
Variable losses or copper losses: when the
transformer is loaded, current flows in primary and
secondary windings, there is loss of electrical energy
due to the resistance of the primary winding, and
secondary winding and they are called variable
losses. These losses depend upon the loading
conditions of the transformers. Therefore, these
losses are also called as variable losses.

16. Explain different types of D.C motors? Give their


applications
Different type of DC motors and their applications
are as follows: Shunt motors: It has a constant speed though its
starting torque is not very high. Therefore, it is
suitable for constant speed drive, where high
starting torque is not required such as pumps,
blowers, fan, lathe machines, tools, belt or chain
conveyor etc.
Service motors: It has high starting torque & its
speed is inversely proportional to the loading
conditions i.e. when lightly loaded, the speed is high
and when heavily loaded, it is low. Therefore, motor
is used in lifts, cranes, traction work, coal loader and
coal cutter in coalmines etc.
Compound motors: It also has high starting torque
and variable speed. Its advantage is, it can run at NIL
loads without any danger. This motor will therefore
find its application in loads having high inertia load
or requiring high intermittent torque such as
elevators, conveyor, rolling mill, planes, presses,
shears and punches, coal cutter and winding
machines etc.

17. Explain the process of commutation in a dc machine.


Explain what are inter-poles and why they are required in a
dc machine.

Commutation: It is phenomenon when an


armature coil moves under the influence of
one pole- pair; it carries constant current in
one direction. As the coil moves into the
influence of the next pole- pair, the current
in it must reverse. This reversal of current in
a coil is called commutation. Several coils
undergo commutation simultaneously. The
reversal of current is opposed by the static
coil emf and therefore must be aided in
some fashion for smooth current reversal,
which otherwise would result in sparking at
the brushes. The aiding emf is dynamically
induced into the coils undergoing
commutation by means of compoles or
interpoles, which are series excited by the
armature current. These are located in the
interpolar region of the main poles and
therefore influence the armature coils only
when these undergo commutation.

18. Comment on the working principle of operation of a


single-phase transformer.
Working principle of operation of a single-phase
transformer can be explained as
An AC supply passes through the primary
winding, a current will start flowing in the
primary winding. As a result, the flux is set. This
flux is linked with primary and secondary
windings. Hence, voltage is induced in both the
windings. Now, when the load is connected to the
secondary side, the current will start flowing in
the load in the secondary winding, resulting in
the flow of additional current in the secondary
winding. Hence, according to Faradays laws of
electromagnetic induction, emf will be induced in
both the windings. The voltage induced in the
primary winding is due to its self inductance and
known as self induced emf and according to
Lenzes law it will oppose the cause i.e. supply
voltage hence called as back emf. The voltage
induced in secondary coil is known as mutually
induced voltage. Hence, transformer works on
the principle of electromagnetic induction.

system to serve all power demands
without failure over long periods.
Maximum Demand: It is maximum load
demand required in a power station
during a given period.
Reserve generating capacity: Extra
generation capacity installed to meet the
need of scheduled downtimes for
preventive maintenance is called reservegenerating capacity.
Availability: As the percentage of the
time a unit is available to produce power
whether needed by the system or not.

20. Mention the disadvantages of low power factor? How


can it be improved?
Disadvantages of low power factor:
Line losses are 1.57 times unity power
factor.
Larger generators and transformers are
required.
Low lagging power factor causes a large
voltage drop, hence extra regulation
equipment is required to keep voltage
drop within prescribed limits.
Greater conductor size: To transmit or
distribute a fixed amount of power at
fixed voltage, the conductors will have to
carry more current at low power factor.
This requires a large conductor size.

21. State the methods of improving power factor?


Methods of improving power factor:
By connecting static capacitors in
parallel with the load operating at lagging
power factor.
A synchronous motor takes a leading
current when over excited and therefore
behaves like a capacitor.
By using phase advancers to improve
the power factor of induction motors. It
provides exciting ampere turns to the
rotor circuit of the motor. By providing
more ampere-turns than required, the
induction motor can be made to operate
on leading power factor like an
overexcited synchronous motor.

1. Conduct Research on the Employer, Hiring Manager, Job


Opportunity.
Success in a job interview starts with a
solid foundation of knowledge on the jobseeker's part. You should understand the
employer, the requirements of the job,
and the background of the person (or
people) interviewing you. The more
research you conduct, the more you'll
understand the employer, and the better
you'll be able to answer interview
questions.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews

2. Review Common Interview Questions and Prepare


Responses.
Another key to interview success is preparing
responses to expected interview questions. First,
inquire as to the type of interview to expect
(which you can do by asking your contact person
at the organization). Your goal is composing
detailed yet concise responses, focusing on
specific examples and accomplishments. A good
tool for remembering your responses is to put
them into story form that you can tell in the
interview. No need to memorize responses (in
fact, it's best not to), but at least develop talking
points.

3.Tailor your story to the job.


Tailor your story to the jobApplying your story to a
specific employer or job is the next step. Lining up
the stories that apply to the opportunity at hand is
critical. Put yourself in the interviewers shoes and
pose the questions you would ask. Which stories
are relevant to this job interview? Think about
personal stories that show how you handled
change, made choices under pressure, or learned
lessons from mistakes and failures. You should
also think about stories you can tell in the
interview that reveal your skill set.
Learning and appreciating your story is a
prerequisite to any interview process. Dont rely on
your ability to think on your feet. Anticipate the
questions and have answers at the ready. In the
end, this is about making a great and memorable
impression that demonstrates competency and
ability.

4. Dress for Success.


Plan out a wardrobe that fits the organization and
its culture, striving for the most professional
appearance you can accomplish. Remember that
it's always better to be overdressed than under -and to wear clothing that fits and is clean and
pressed. Keep accessories and jewelry to a
minimum. Try not to smoke or eat right before the
interview -- and if possible, brush your teeth or use
mouthwash.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews

5. Arrive on Time for the Interview -- and Prepared for Success


There is no excuse for ever arriving late for an
interview -- other than some sort of disaster. Strive
to arrive about 15 minutes before your scheduled
interview to complete additional paperwork and
allow yourself time to get settled. Arriving a bit
early is also a chance to observe the dynamics of
the workplace.
The day before the interview, pack up extra copies
of your resume or CV and reference list. If you
have a portfolio or samples of your work, bring
those along too. Finally, remember to pack several
pens and a pad of paper to jot notes.
Finally, as you get to the offices, shut off your cell
phone. (And if you were chewing gum, get rid of
it.)

6. Make Good First Impressions -- to Everyone You Encounter


A cardinal rule of interviewing: Be polite and offer
warm greetings to everyone you meet -- from parking
attendant or receptionist to the hiring manager.
Employers often are curious how job applicants treat
staff members -- and your job offer could easily be
derailed if you're rude or arrogant to any of the staff.
When it's time for the interview, keep in mind that first
impressions -- the ones interviewers make in the first
few seconds of greeting you -- can make or break an
interview. Make a strong first impression by dressing
well (see #3), arriving early (see #4), and when
greeting your interviewer, stand, smile, make eye
contact, and offer a firm (neither limp and nor bonecrushing) handshake.
Remember that having a positive attitude and
expressing enthusiasm for the job and employer are
vital in the initial stages of the interview; studies show
that hiring managers make critical decisions about job
applicants in the first 20 minutes of the interview.

7. Remember Body Language, Avoiding Bad Habits


While the content of your interview responses is
paramount, poor body language can be a distraction at
best -- or a reason not to hire you at worst.
Effective forms of body language: smiling, eye contact,
solid posture, active listening, nodding.
Detrimental forms of body language: slouching, looking
off in the distance, playing with pen, fidgeting in chair,
brushing back hair, touching face, chewing gum,
mumbling.

interviewquestions360.com/free-ebook-top-18-secrets-to-win-every-job-interviews

8. Ask Insightful Questions


Studies continually show that employers make a
judgment about an applicant's interest in the job by
whether or not the interviewee asks questions.
Thus, even if the hiring manager was thorough in
his or her discussions about the job opening and
what is expected, you must ask a few questions.
The smart job-seeker prepares questions to ask
days before the interview, adding any additional
queries that might arise from the interview.

9. Sell Yourself Throughout and then Close the Deal


An adage in interviewing says the most qualified
applicant is not always the one who is hired -which means the hired candidate is often the
job-seeker who does the best job in responding
to interview questions and showcasing his or her
fit with the job, department, and organization.
Some liken the job interview to a sales call. You
are the salesperson -- and the product you are
selling to the employer is your ability to fill the
organization's needs, solve its problems, propel
its success.
Finally, as the interview winds down, ask about
the next steps in the process and the timetable
the employer expects to use to make a decision
about the position. If you are applying for a sales
job -- or a position requiring equivalent
aggressiveness -- consider asking for the job at
the end of the interview.

10. Be Authentic, Upbeat, Focused, Confident, Candid, and Concise.


Once the interview starts, the key to success is the
quality and delivery of your responses. Your goal
should always be authenticity, responding
truthfully to interview questions. At the same
time, your goal is to get to the next step, so you'll
want to provide focused responses that showcase
your skills, experience, and fit -- with the job and
the employer. Provide solid examples of solutions
and accomplishments -- but keep your responses
short and to the point.
By preparing responses to common interview
questions (see #2), you'll ideally avoid long,
rambling responses that bore interviewers.
Always attempt to keep your interview responses
short and to the point.
Finally, no matter how much an interviewer
might bait you, never badmouth a previous
employer, boss, or co-worker. The interview is
about you -- and making your case that you are
the ideal candidate for the job.

11.Focus more on what you can do for the company, rather


than what they can do for you
At the beginning of the job interview process, someone has
to assume the role of the seller, and someone has to be the
buyer.
You're the seller at this early stage of the process.
As the interview progresses you will eventually be
asked: Do you have any questions for us?
Its a bad idea to say, no, I cant think of anything. Its also a
bad idea to have a grocery list of interview questions a mile
long.
Appropriate Job Interview Questions to Ask Your
Interviewers
How would you describe a typical day in this position?
In my first 90 days on the job, whats my first priority?
What is one of the most difficult challenges facing your
department?
Is this a new position, or am I replacing someone?
Whats the companys strategy for generating new
business?

12.Bring examples of your work


Use the power of the printed word to your
advantage. As an executive recruiter, I cant
tell you the number of times Ive been called
by a hiring manager after an interview, and
told how impressed they were with one of my
candidates who brought examples of their
work.
Most job seekers fail to do this in preparing
for a job interview. This one job interview tip
alone will set you apart from other
candidates.
Idea: Some job seekers bring a copy of their
most recent written evaluation to the
interview. Obviously, you should only do this
if your evaluation is outstanding.
The power of the printed word applies here as
well. If you share your strengths with your
interviewers, it's duly noted. If one of your
bosses said those same things about you...it's
gospel.
Another great example of your work is any
chart or graph that illustrates specifically how
you saved the company time or money...or
how you made the company money.

13.Dont bring up salary or benefits during the first


interview
The interviewing process is a 2-way
street. Just as the company is evaluating
you, you are evaluating them.
A job change is a big deal and you should
know things like how the 401K plan
works, how the bonus is figured, what is
their vacation policy, and what kind of
benefits they provide.
However...
It is interviewing suicide to ask these
questions during the first interview. The
appropriate time to ask these questions is
after the company has decided to extend
you an offer.
Once a company has decided that they
must have you on their team, then it is
timely and appropriate for you to ask
these kinds of questions.

14. Thank Interviewer(s) in Person, by Email, and Postal Mail


As you have already seen from previous
tips, common courtesy and politeness go
far in interviewing; thus, the importance
of thanking each person who interviews
you should come as no surprise. Start the
process while at the interview, thanking
each person who interviewed you.
Writing thank-you emails and notes
shortly after the interview will not get you
the job offer, but doing so will certainly
give you an edge over any of the other
finalists who did not bother to send
thank-you's.
