50 kVA,
100V 1100 V

13. A three-phase, 4pole, self excited induction generator is feeding power to a load at a
frequency f1. If the load is partially removed, the frequency becomes f2. If the speed of the
generator is maintained at 1500 rpm in both the cases, then
(A) f1 f 2 > 50 Hz and f1 > f 2 (B) f1 < 50 Hz and f 2 > 50Hz
(C) f1 f 2 < 50 Hz and f 2 > f 2 (D) f1 > 50 Hz and f 2 < 50Hz
Answer: (C)
Exp: Initially self excited generator supply power to a load at f1 . If load is partially removed then
slightly speed increase, also frequency f 2

But both cases f1f 2 < 50 Hz

14. A single phase induction motor draws 12 MW power at 0.6 lagging power. A capacitor is
connected in parallel to the motor to improve the power factor of the combination of motor
and capacitor to 0.8 lagging. Assuming that the real and reactive power drawn by the motor
remains same as before, the reactive power delivered by the capacitor in MVAR is
____________.
Answer: 7MVAR
Exp: Given, 1 − φ Induction motor draws 12mW at 0.6pf, lag
Let P1 =12mW
cos φ1 = 0.6 pf
To improve pf, cos φ2 = 0.8
( Qc ) del by capacitor = ?
P1 12 ×106
cos φ1 = ⇒ S1 =
S1 0.6
⇒ S1 = 20 MVA

4 Reactive power, Q1 = S12 − P12 =16 MVAR

When capacitor is connected then
P1
cos φ2 = (∵ Re al power drawn is same )
S2

12 ×106
0.8 =
S2

S2 =15MVA

∴ Re active power ,Q 2 = S22 − P12 = 9MVAR

But motor should draw the same reactive power.
∴ ( Qc )del by capacitor = 16 − 9 = 7 MVAR

We know that, S = 3 VL .I L

100 × 106 = 3.VL .I L

100 × 106
VL =
3 × 437.38
VL = 132.001kV
But it is drawing power at a voltage of 0.9 pu

⇒ Vactual = VL − L = Vpu × VB
= 0.9 × 132 = 118.8kV

41. There are two generators in a power system. No-load frequencies of the generators are 51.5
Hz and 51Hz, respectively, and both are having droop constant of 1 Hz/MW. Total load in the
system is 2.5 MW. Assuming that the generators are operating under their respective droop
characteristics, the frequency of the power system in Hz in the steady state is __________.
Answer: 50
Exp: Given, two generators in a power system has no load frequency of 51.5 & 51 Hz.
∴ drop constant=1Hz/mW
Total load=2.5 mW
for generator '1', f = − x1 + 51.5

generator '2 ' f = − x 2 + 51

∴ − x1 + 51.5 = − x 2 + 51

⇒ x1 − x 2 = 0.5 ...(1)

Total load ⇒ x1 + x 2 = 2.5 ...(2)

By solving (1) & (2) ⇒ x1 = = 1.5

Analysis:
If you will observe the combinational circuit output expression which is the input for T flip
flop is not matching directly, so you should go through the option. If you will solve the
combinational circuit of option (B) then
(
T = ( J + Qn ) . K + Q n )
= J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + Q n Q n = J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + 0 ∵ Q n .Q n = 0 ( )
= J.K + J Q n + K.Q n
Now, according to consensus theorem J-K will become redundant term, so it should be
eliminated.
Hence, T = JQ n + K.Q n , which in matching with our desired result and option-(B) is correct
answer.

R = 5Ω, L =16mH
The maximum firing angle at which the volt across device becomes zero is the angle at
which device trigger i.e. minimum firing angle to converter.
