Electrical Drives- 2

01․ An elevator drive is required to operate in

one quadrant only.
two quadrants.
three quadrants.
four quadrants.

Elevator drive should have four quadrant operation. Elevator drives operate in
four quadrants are forward motoring ( 1st quadrant ), forward braking ( 2nd
quadrant ), reverse motoring ( 3rd quadrant ) and reverse braking ( 4th quadrant
).

02․ Electric drive is becoming more and more popular because

all of below.
it provide smooth and easy control.
it is cheaper in cost.
it is simple and reliable.

Electric drive have following advantages. 1. It is simple, clean, compact, and

reliable. 2. It provides easy and smooth control, flexibility in layout, easy
starting and facility for remote control. 3. It is cheaper in initial as well as in
maintenance cost.

03․ The basic elements of a electric drive are

electric motor.
control system.
electrical motor and control system.
none of the above.

The system or motor which employed for motion control is called electric drive.
Hence basic elements of an electric drive is electric motor and control system.

04․ Speed control by variation of field flux results in

constant power drive.
constant torque drive.
 variable power drive.
none of the above.

Variation of field flux results in variable torque and constant power drive
operation.

05․ A four quadrant operation requires

two full converters in series.
two full converters connected in parallel.
two full converter connected in back to back.
two semi converters connected in back to back.

Full converter is operated in two quadrants. Hence in order to obtain four

quadrants the drive requires another two quadrants, this will obtained by
reversal of current. Reversal of current can be done by connecting two full
converters in back to back.

06․ A motor has a thermal heating time constant of 50 mm. When the
motor runs continuous of full scale, its final temperature rise is 80° C, what
would be the temperature rise after 1 hour, if the motor runs continuously
on full load?
55.9 ° C.
58° C.
56° C.
60° C.

07․ In 4 quadrant operation of a hoist 3rd quadrant represents

reverse motoring.
reverse braking.
forward braking.
forward motoring.
Quadrant 1 : forward braking. Quadrant 2 : forward motoring. Quadrant 3 :
reverse motoring. Quadrant 4 : reverse braking.

08․ High braking torque produced in

plugging.
dynamic braking.
regenerative braking.
none of above.

In plugging, in order to limit the armature current to a safe value an external

current limiting resistor is connected thus armature current is reversed and
high braking torque is produced.

09․ In case of kiln drives, starting torque is.

more than double of the running torque.
more than triple of the running torque.
almost equal to running torque.
less than running torque.

In kiln drives starting torque is double than that of running torque. Hence for
kiln drives ward Leonard controlled DC shunt motors, slip ring IM, cascade
controlled AC motors is employed.

10․ What are the constituents in speed time curve of train?

Coasting.
Initial acceleration.
Constant speed.
All of these.

Constituents of speed time curve is 1. Initial acceleration. 2. Constant speed /

free running. 3. Coasting. 4. Retardation / braking.
