Question 1
Consider a schematic diagram of an electric drive for locomotive traction shown in Figure 1
where throttle position is set by moving an input potentiometer. The output of generator is
proportional to the field current.
a)
Assuming the following constants, write all the related equations of the system and draw
the corresponding block diagram for each sub-system.

b)
Kt = tachometer constant
Kg = generator constant
J = inertia friction
b = viscous-friction coefficient
c)
o
from the block diagram of the system.

for the block diagram of a system shown in Figure 2
R( s)
(10 marks)
Prove that the transfer function obtained in question 2(a) is same if you find the
transfer function by using Masons Rule.
(10 marks)
Question 3
a)
For the unit step response shown in Figure 3, obtain the percent overshoot (%OS),
damping ratio (), peak time (Tp), natural frequency (n), rise time (Tr) and settling time
(Ts).

b)
Find the transfer function of a second order system that yields a 12.3% overshoot and a
settling time of 1 second.
(4 marks)
c)
Referring to the unity feedback system shown in Figure 4, find the number of closedloop poles located in the right half-plane, left half-plane, and on the
-axis by using
Routh-Hurwitz criterion.
