What happens when a d.c motor is connected across an ac supply?
What happens when a d.c motor is connected across an ac supply?
- Since on ac supply, reactance will come in to play,the a.c supply will be offered impedance(not resistance) by the armature winding.consequently,with a.c supply,current will be much less.The motor will run but it would not carry the same load as it would on d.c. supply.
- There would be more sparking at the brushes
- Though motor armature is laminated as a rule, the field poles are not. consequently,eddy currents will cause the motor to heat up eventually burn on a.c. supply.

Why transformers are rated in KVA and motors are rated in KW ?
The power factor of transformer is dependent on load we only
define Volt-ampere rating and does not include power factor but in case of motors,
power factor depend on construction and hence rating of motors is in
KW and include power factor.

Why we can’t store AC in Batteries instead of DC?
Why we can’t store AC in Batteries instead of DC?
We cannot store AC in batteries because AC changes their polarity upto 50 (When frequency = 50 Hz) or 60 (When frequency = 60 Hz) times in a second. Therefore the battery terminals keep changing Positive (+ve) becomes Negative (-Ve) and vice versa, but the battery cannot change their terminals with the same speed so that’s why we can’t store AC in Batteries.
Also when we connect a battery with AC Supply, then It will charge during positive half cycle and discharge during negative half cycle because the Positive (+ve) half cycle cancel the negative (-Ve) half cycle, so the average voltage or current in a complete cycle is Zero. So there is no chance to store AC in the Batteries.

Does zero watts bulb consume no power ?
There is no bulb which consumes zero watt, it is not possible to light a bulb without drawing an current and consuming greater than zero watts .
Actually a zero watt bulb consumes about 12 to 15 watts, the inaccurate electric meters of the early days could not measure such a negligible amount of consumption as during those days,the energy meter had a rotating disc and when all other lights switched off,the disc would have minimum rotation,which would not record even a 10 watts consumption.This led to the term Zero-watt.

What is hunting ?
What is hunting ?
- The oscillations of rotor due to sudden application or removal of load is called swinging or hunting.
- During hunting there are changes the current drawn by the motor which may cause problem to other appliances connected to the same line.Hence hunting is not desirable phenomenon from motor point of view and must be prevented.

How does a bird does not get electric shock when they sit on electric wire?
How does a bird does not get electric shock when they sit on electric wire?
There is no voltage difference along a single wire the birds sitting on.since the birds are touching only one wire,the circuit is incomplete and the birds are safe.
To get shocked,electricity has to travel through its body;this requires two conductors.
Large birds can be shocked because they can make contact with two conductors,usually at a metal power pole.

civil service interview question
A fresher was sitting in an interview. The interviewer said, "This is the last question of your interview. Tell me the accurate position of the center of this table where your resume is kept."
How can he answer this question? What will you have answered to such a question?
answer:
Put your finger confidently at a supposedly center point of the table and tell him that this is the exact center point.
The interviewer will ask, “How do you know this is the exact center?"
You can revert back that your last question was the previous question and thus you are not liable to answer further.
This is just a matter of being quick witted. The cleverer you are, the better the impression will be.

Why power factor is not more than unity?
- Power factor is the cosine angle between voltage and current.The magnitute of cosine is never greater than one.
- The power factor is equal to watts/ Volt-Amps.Watts can never exceed Volt-amps
A lamp draws 0.5 A at 230 V. If the voltage is reduced to 115 V, will the current be halved ?
A lamp draws 0.5 A at
230 V. If the voltage is reduced to 115 V, will the current be halved ?
No.because ohms law is true for constantant temperature.If
the voltage is reduced from 230 to 115 volt,results in decrease in resistance. Consequently
ohms law cannot be applied.

Why field rheostat is kept in minimum position while armature rheostat is at maximum position ?
Why field rheostat is kept in minimum position while armature rheostat is at maximum position ?
At the time of starting of motor, the armature resistance is kept at maximum position to control and reduce the high starting current and field rheostat at minimum position to ensure that speed does not go beyond rated value and to have high starting torque.

A 230 V supply is connected across series combination of two bulbs of 60W and 100W respectively.which bulb will glow bright and why ?
A 230 V supply is connected across series combination of two bulbs of 60W and 100W respectively.which bulb will glow bright and why ?
we know in series connection the current is same and voltage is different which depends on resistance of the individual elements connected.
P=V^2/ R, to maintain this relationship the resistance of 60W bulb is greater and voltage across 60 W bulb is more(V=IR).so 60W bulb will glow brighter than 100W bulb.

Why is a shunt motor called constant speed motor ?
Why is a shunt motor called constant speed motor ?
In dc shunt motor flux produced by field winding is proportional to field current Ish. Here the input voltage is constant so field current and flux is also constant.Therefore, dc shunt motor is also called a constant flux or constant speed motor.

What do you mean by balanced load and un balanced load ?
- A load is said to be balanced load, if power factors and phase currents in the 3-phases are equal.
- A load is said to be ubalanced load, if power factors and phase currents in the 3-phases are unequal.
What is the relation between electrical and mechanical degree?
The relationship between mechanical and electrical degrees is
1 degree mechanical = (P/2) electrical degrees
Where P = no. of poles
i.e. for 1 deg of mechanical revolution of conductor inside a magnetic field produces (P/2) degree electrical output.
