Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. A three-phase, salient pole synchronous motor is connected to an infinite bus. Ig is operated at no load a normal excitation. The field excitation of the motor is first reduced to zero and then increased in reverse direction gradually. Then the armature current
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q3. A single phase air core transformer, fed from a rated sinusoidal supply, is operating at no load. The steady state magnetizing current drawn by the transformer from the supply will have the waveform
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

It is an air core transformer. So, there is no saturation effect.
