Q7. a) Explain what do you understand by the term ‘transducer’? (6)

b) A coil of resistance 10 ohms and inductance 100mH is connected in series with two parallel capacitors each of value 100 mF across a 250 V, 50Hz supply. determine (10)

i) The circuit current

ii) The total power factor

iii) The power taken from the supply.

Q6. A 100 KVA, 2400/240 V, 50 Hz, 1-phase transformer has no- load current of 0.64 A and a core loss of 700 W, when its high voltage side is energized at rated voltage and frequency . calculate the two components of no-load current. If this transformer supplies a load current of 40 amp at 0.8 lagging power factor at its low voltage side, determine the primary current and its power factor. Ignore leakage impedance drop. (16)

Q6.a) Derive an expression for the emf induced in an a.c. generator. (6)

b) A 3000 KVA, 6-pole alternator runs at 1000 r.p.m. in parallel with other machines on 3300V bus-bars. The synchronous reactance is 25%. Calculate the synchronizing power for one mechanical degree of displacement and the corresponding synchronizing torque. (10)

Q7. A. Explain the effect on GM during the filing of a double – bottom tank. (6)
B. The length of a ship is 18 times the draught. while the breadth is 2.1 times the draft. At the load water plane, the water plane area co-efficient is 0.83 and the difference between the TPC in sea water and the TPC in fresh water is 0.7. Determine the length of the ship and TPC in fresh water.
