Problem 1
A three phase 400-V Hz, AC supply is feeding a three phase delta-connected load with each phase
having a resistance of 25 ohms, an inductance of 0.15 H, and a capacitance of 120 microfarads. The
resistor, inductor, and capacitor are all connected in series. Determine the line current, volt-amp, active
power, and reactive volt-amp.

Problem 2
Three non-inductive resistances, each of 100 ohms, are connected in star to a three-phase 440-V supply.
Three inductive coils, each of reactance 100 ohms connected in delta are also connected to the supply.
Calculate the (1) line currents, and (2) power factor of the system.

Problem 1
A single phase transformer takes 10 A on no load at p.f. of 0.2 lagging. The turns ratio is 4:1 (step
down). If the load on the secondary is 200 A at a p.f. of 0.85 lagging, find the primary current and power
factor. Neglect the voltage drop in the winding.

Problem 2
Calculate the secondary voltage V and primary current I in the circuit shown in the figure. The
transformer has primary to secondary turn ratio of 1:100.

Problem
A farmer employs a servant to look after his farm house. He instructs the servant t keep a watch on his
goat so that it does not harm the kitchen garden when the entrance door is open. The servant is also
required to see that no ͞wild-animal͟ may pounce upon the grazing goat. For this, the farmer gives the
servant a switchboard, with three switches marked as Door Open, Goat Near Door, and Wild Animal
Near By and instructs the servant to press the appropriate switch, depending upon what he sees.
Design a suitable circuit for the switchboard.

1. A metallic conductor is subjected to mechanical strain. If the resistance doubled and the length
tripled, calculate its gauge factor.
2. At a temperature of 250C, the resistance of a metal reads 120 ohms and at 350C, it reads 200
ohms. Calculate for the resistance measured at 200C.
3. A capacitive position transducer has a capacitance of 2mF when plates are 0.01 mm apart. Find
the capacitance when plates move 0.10 mm farther.
4. The input voltage on a certain wheatstone bridge is 10 V and R1 = R2 = R3 = 100 ohms. Find the
output voltage if Rg = 20 ohms.
5. From the previous problem, at what value of Rg is the output voltage 0V?

1. GF = (ȴR/R)/( ȴL/L) = [(2R ʹ R)/R]/[(3L ʹ L)/L] = r


2. qn 1: 120 = R0 [1 + ɲ*(25-20)]
qn 2: 200 = R0 [1 + ɲ*(35-20)]
From qn 1, R0 = 120/ (1 + 5ɲ)
›ubstituting into qn 2:
(200/120)*(1 + 5ɲ) = 1 + 15ɲ
ɲ*[20/3] = 2/3
ɲ = 0.1
R0 = 120 / (1 + 5*0.1) = ßr
 !

3. C = K*A/ d; 2mF = KA / 0.01
KA = 0.02
C = 0.02/ (0.10 + 0.01) = r ß
!
4. Vout = 10*[100/(100 + Rg) ʹ 100/(100 + 100)]
Vout = 10*[100/(100 + 120) ʹ 100/(100 + 100)]
Vout = 3.33 V
5. The output voltage is zero when R1 = R2 = R3 = Rg.
Also, 0 = 100 / (100 + Rg) ʹ 100 / (100 + 100)
100 = 50 + 0.5Rg

Trial 1: ›ince the 15V source tend to turn both diodes ON, we start with both of them ON.
I1 = 15/10K = 1.5 mA
I = 10/5K = 2 mA > 0: assumption for D2 is valid
ID1 = I1 ʹ I = -0.5 mA < 0: assumption for D1 is invalid

Trial 2: Try taking D1 OFF and D2 ON

I1 = I = (15 ʹ (-10)) / (10K + 5K) = 1.67 mA > 0: assumption for D2 is valid
VD1 = 15 ʹ (1.67 mA)(10K) = -1.67V < 0; ID1 = 0: assumption for D1 is valid

Therefore I =
