PART-A

1. State the principle of electromechanical energy conversion?(AU2011)

The mechanical energy is converted in to electrical energy which takes place

through either by magnetic field or electric field

2. Give example for single and multiple excited systems? (AU2011)

(i)Single excited system-reluctance motor,

(ii)single phase transformer,

(iii)relay coil Multiply excited system-alternator,

(iv) electro mechanical transducer

3. What is the significance of co energy? (AU2010)

When electrical energy is fed to coil not the whole energy is stored as magnetic
energy the co energy gives a measure of other energy conversion which takes place
in coil then magnetic energy storage,

1. Field energy

2. Coenergy

4. Explain the following with respect to rotating electrical machines

(AU2010)

 1. Pole pitch

2. Chording angle

1. Pole pitch is that centre to centre distance between any two consecutive poles
in a rotating machine, measured in slots per poles

2. Chording angle is that angle by which the coil span is short of full pitched in

electrical degrees

5. Write the energy balance equation for motor? (AU2013)

Mechanical energy o/p-=electrical energy i/p-increase in field energy

Ff dx=idλ-dWf

6. Why energy stored in a magnetic material always occur in air gap.

(AU2010)
In iron core or steel core the saturation and aging effects form hindrance to
storage Built in air gap as reluctance as well permeability is constant, the energy
storage takes place linearly without any complexity. Hence energy is stored in air
gap in a magnetic medium.

7. How the energy stored in magnetic field? (AU2010)

When the moving part of any physical system is held fixed, and then the entire
electrical energy input gets stored in the magnetic field.

8. What is rotating magnetic field? (AU2011)

When a three phase balanced supply is fed to the three phase winding, mmf
generated has its peak value moving from the axis of the leading phase to that of
lagging phase at a constant speed. This is called rotating magnetic field.

9. Write the equation which relates rotor speed in electrical and mechanical
radians per second?) (AU2011)
ὠe=ὠm(p/2)

ὠe=speed in electrical radians per sec

ὠm=speed in mechanical radians per sec

p=no of poles

10. Short advantages of short pitched coil? (AU2011)

 1. Hormonics are reduced in induced voltage

2. Saving of copper

3. End connections are shorter

PART-B

1.Derive the expression for the magnetic force developed in a multiply excited
magnetic systems.
