A.      100%.

2.       What is the protection against single phasing?

A.      Negative sequence protection.

3.       What are the protections normally provided for HT motor?
                                                       
                                                               i.            Over current (Inst.)
                                                              ii.            Thermal O/C
                                                             iii.            Stalling
                                                             iv.            Earth fault.
                                                               v.            Negative sequence.
                                                             vi.           Temperature

4.       What is the difference between VCB and motor starter combination?

        A.      VCB can make and break in fault conditions, contactor cannot. Hence fuses are  used.

5.       What are the possible causes of excessive vibration on a running motor?
                                                             
                                                               i.            Faulty bearing.
                                                              ii.           Unbalance on rotor.
                                                             iii.           Misalignment.
                                                             iv.            Faulty foundation.
                                                              v.             Rotor bars open.

6.       What are the units of measurement for vibration and spike energy?

       A.      Vibration Velocity – mm/sec, spike energy – gse.

7.       How do you measure sleeve bearing clearance?
      
       A.      Plastic gauge or lead gauge wire to placed between the shaft and bearing and bolt tightened to normal and measure flattened thickness of the gauge.

8.       Explain different Insulation classes and the corresponding temperature rise allowed.
                 
       Y –  90

       A – 105

       E – 120

       B – 130

       F – 155

       H – 180

       C – 180

Above 180 to 220°C

9.       What is the max speed obtained by 3 phase induction motor with normal state supply?



        N= 120F/P=120X50/2= 3000RPM

10.   What is the advantage of star delta starter over DOL starter?

       A.      Limiting starting current.

11.   Why single phase motor is not self starting.?

      A.      No revolving field.

12.        What are the insulation resistance values for different voltages of Motors?

Motor
Minimum (IR)
Maximum (IR)
a)
250V
1.25 M Ohms
Infinity
b)
440V
1.5 Ohms
Infinity
c)
3.3KV
4.5 M Ohms
Infinity
d)
6.6KV
7.6 M Ohms
Infinity
e)
11KV
12 M Ohms
Infinity


13.       What are the causes for Motor is overloaded?

(a)    Overload; (b) Short circuit for motor winding; (c) Single Phasing; (d) Loose connection of power cable; (e) Bearing problem.

14.       How to find the motor speed and write equation?

By “Tacho Motor”


Equation     = 120F/P    


N= Speed; F =Frequency; P=Number of Pole

15.       What is 1 Phasing preventer?

In single phasing if one fuse blown out the Motor will run in the same condition, Motor will take start.

Single phasing preventer is a relay which is used to prevent the equipment from single phasing. If any fuse blown the Motor will take higher |Current. In that case the humming sound will come.

16.       What are the types of Bearing?

a)      Ball Bearing
b)      Roller Bearing
c)       Bush Bearing
d)      Taper Roller Bearing
e)      Sleeve Bearing
f)       Thrust Bearing



17.       What is Thrust Bearing? Where generally it is used?

Where Sleeve Bearing used.
a)      Thrust Bearing is used for vertical plane mounted motors in drive End side.
b)      Sleeve Bearing is used for HT Motors in DE and NDE side.

18.       YPM of Motor

a)      Obtain the work permit
b)      Switch off the breaker and lock it
c)       Put caution notice in breaker and push button station
d)      Switch ‘ON’ the Earth switch
e)      Disconnect Fan cover and clean physically
f)       Open the Terminal cover
g)      Check the Tightness of Terminals
h)      Check the Earth connections
i)        Insulation resistance and winding resistance to be checked
j)        Switch “OFF” the Earth Switch
k)      Switch “ON” the breaker and start the Motor
l)        Check the load current
m)    Close the Permit

19.       The Motor is not stopping what will be the problem?

a)      The “OFF” Button “NC” not open
b)      The Contact get jammed

20.       What is slip ring induction motor? How to take connection from Rotor?

To get high starting Torque, we include external resistance to the Rotor winding. After motor attain full speed Rotor winding one short circuited.

By using Slipping, Carbon brushes connections are taken from Rotor winding.

21.       Which are the protection used for Motors?

a)      Overload relay
b)      Earth leakage relay
c)       Single Phasing preventer
d)      Stalling Relay
