1 (a) (b) Explain the moving iron attraction type instrument with a neat diagram. A moving coil instrument has a resistance of 12 and gives a full-scale deflection when carrying 50 mA. Show how it can be adopted to measure voltage up to 700 V and current 100 A. Explain the construction and working of Weston type synchroscope. A ring core current transformer with a nominal ratio of 500/5 and a bar primary has a secondary resistance of 0.5 and negligible secondary reactance. The resultant of magnetizing and iron loss components of the primary current associated with the full load secondary current of 5 A in a burden of 1 is 3 A at a power factor of 0.4. Calculate the true ratio and phase angle errors of the transformer on full load .Calculate also the total flux in the core assuming a frequency of 50 Hz. A dynamometer wattmeter is used to measure the power factor of a 20 F capacitor. The pressure coil of the wattmeter having a resistance 1000 and inductive reactance of 15 is connected across a 50 Hz supply. The current coil of the wattmeter, a variable resistor R and a capacitor are connected in series across the same supply. The wattmeter deflection is made zero by adjusting the value of R to 1.65 . If the current coil resistance is 0.1 and its inductance is negligible; determine the power factor of the capacitor. Explain the construction and operation of 1- induction type energy meter. What are the differences between D.C and A.C potentiometers? What are the practical difficulties associated with A.C potentiometers? How the D.C potentiometers are standardized? Explain loss of charge method for measurement of insulation resistance of cables. A length of cable is tested for insulation resistance by the loss of charge method. An electrostatic voltmeter of infinite resistance is connected between the cable conductor and earth, forming there with a joint capacitance of 600 pF. It is observed that after charging the voltage falls from 250 V to 92 V in 1 minute. Calculate the insulation resistance of the cable. Derive the equation of balance for an Andersons bridge. Draw the phasor diagram for condition under balance. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this bridge. Write short notes on core loss measurement by Campbells bridge method. In a test on a specimen of total weight 15 kg the measured values of iron losses at given value of peak flux density were 20 W at 40 Hz and 33 W at 60 Hz. Estimate the values of hysteresis and eddy current losses in W/kg at 50 Hz for the same value of peak flux density.
