Regulation: R18
UTILIZATION OF ELECTRIC POWER
Time: 3 Hours (ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING) Max Marks: 70
Answer FIVE Questions choosing ONE question from each module
(NOTE: Provision is given to answer TWO questions from any ONE module)
All Questions Carry Equal Marks
All parts of the question must be answered in one place only

MODULE – I

1. (a) Write a short note on group drives and individual drives. Compare the DC shunt motor and
induction motor in terms of their speed control. [Marks: 7]
(b) Describe the selection of various types of motors for the following services. i) Rolling mills ii) Cranes
and lifts iii) Textile machinery iv) Printing machine and v) Household applications. [Marks: 7]

2. (a) Explain the torque-speed and torque slip characteristics of induction motor with suitable diagram.
[Marks: 7]
(b) Determine its speed when it takes 80 A from this very and the excitation is increased by 20For a
series motor with series field and armature resistance of 0.08 Ω and 0.025, respectively, is connected
across 400-V mains. The armature takes 65 A and its speed is 900 rpm. [Marks: 7]

MODULE – II

3. (a) Outline the principle of dielectric heating. State the merits and demerits of electric heating as
compared with other heating methods. [Marks: 7]
(b) Determine the amount of energy required to melt 2 ton of zinc in 1 hr, if it operates at an efficiency
of 70% specific heat of zinc is equals to 0.1. The latent heat of zinc = 26.67 kcal/kg, the melting
point is 480°C, and the initial temperature is 25°C. [Marks: 7]

4. (a) Compare AC and DC welding. Illustrate with neat diagram about butt welding and spot welding
process. [Marks: 7]
