2. What is stepper motor. What is the use of stepper motor?

The motor which work or act on the applied input pulse in it, is called as stepper motor. This stepper motor is under the category of synchronous motor, which often does not fully depend of complete cycle. It likes to works in either direction related to steps. for this purpose it mainly used in automation parts.

☛ Iron losses,
☛ Mechanical losses,
☛ Shunt field losses

Variable losses:
☛ Copper loss.

12. What is principle Of Operation Of A Generator?

An electric generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. An electric generator is based on the principle that whenever flux is cut by a conductor, an e.m.f. is induced which will cause a current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed. The direction of induced e.m.f. (and hence current) is given by Fleming's right hand rule.

15. Tell us what are Motor Generator Sets and explain the different ways the motor generator set can be used?

Motor Generator Sets are a combination of an electrical generator and an engine mounted together to form a single piece of equipment. Motor generator set is also referred to as a genset, or more commonly, a generator The motor generator set can used in the following different ways:
☛ 1.Alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC)
☛ 2.DC to AC
☛ 3.DC at one voltage to DC at another voltage
☛ 4.AC at one frequency to AC at another harmonically-related frequency

16. Explain me what Are The Different Types Of Losses In Dc Machines?

The losses in a d.c. machine (generator or motor) may be divided into three types:

☛ Copper losses: These losses occur due to currents in the various windings of the machine.
☛ Iron or core losses: These losses occur in the armature of a d.c. machine and are due to the rotation of armature in the magnetic field of the poles. They are of two types
☛ Hysteresis loss: Hysteresis loss occurs in the armature of the d.c. machine since any given part of the armature is subjected to magnetic field reversals as it passes under successive poles.
☛ Eddy current loss: The voltages induced in the armature conductors produce circulating currents in the armature core known as eddy currents and power loss due to their flow is called eddy current loss. The eddy current loss appears as heat which raises the temperature of the machine and lowers its efficiency.
☛ Mechanical losses: These losses are due to friction and windage. These losses depend upon the speed of the machine. But for a given speed, they are practically constant.

19. Tell me why is the starting current high in a DC motor?

In DC motors, Voltage equation is V=Eb-IaRa (V = Terminal voltage, Eb = Back emf in Motor, Ia = Armature current,Ra = Aramture resistance). At starting, Eb is zero. Therefore, V=IaRa, Ia = V/Ra ,where Ra is very less like 0.01ohm.i.e, Ia will become enormously increased.

20. Tell me will A D.c Shunt Motor Operate On An A.c Supply?

The Shunt winding has a large number of turns so that it has appreciable inductance. When A.C is applied to a shunt motor, the large inductive reactance of shunt winding will reduce the field current too much. Consequently, Shunt motor will not usually run on A.C Supply.
