Que1. A moving coil milli-ammeter having a resistance of 8Ω gives full scale

deflection , When a current of 5mA is passed through it. Explain how this
instrument can be used for measurement of (1) current up to 2A (2) Voltage up to
8V

Que 2. Derive the relationship between phase voltage and line voltage in star
connected three phase system? If a three phase 100V, 50 Hz balanced supply
system is feeding to a balanced delta connected load of 10∟45ο ohm. Find phase
and line current?

Que3. Two-wattmeter method was used to determine the input power to a three
phase motor. The readings were 5.2kw and (-1.7kw), and the line voltage was 415V
.Calculate (1) total power (2) power factor (3) line current?

Que4. In a two-wattmeter method, power measured was 30kw at 0.7 pf lagging.

Find the reading of each wattmeter?

Que5. A balanced delta connected load of (12 +j9)Ω/phase is connected to three

phase ,400V supply. Calculate line current’ power factor, and power drawn by it?

Que6. A balanced three phase star connected load of 18kw taking a leading current
of 60A when connected across a three phase 440V ,50Hz supply. Find the values
and nature of load?

Que7. A moving coil instrument having a resistance of 50Ω has a full-scale

deflection of 1Ma. Calculate. Calculate (1) Shunt resistance to convert the
instrument in to an ammeter of 2A range (2) Net resistance of the meter?
Que8.Three arms of a three phase load each comprises an inductor of resistance
25Ω and inductance of 0.15 H in series with 120×10-6F capacitor ? The supply is
415V, 50 Hz. Calculate the line current, voltage ,power and power factor if load is
delta connected.

Que9. Compare three phase Star and delta connected systems. Show that total
power in these connection remain same? A balanced three phase star connected
load takes a power of 5kw at 0.8 pf lagging when connected to a 400V, Three phase
supply. Calculate line current and impedance per phase of the load.

Que10. A moving coil ammeter has a resistance 0.01Ω and full scale deflection
current of 0.25A . How this meter can be made to read (1) Voltage up to 250V (2)
Current up to 20A?

Que11. Power measurement by two wattmeter explain the significance of (1) equal
wattmeter reading (2) Zero reading on one wattmeter ;using suitable phasor
diagram?
