Problem 1 (20 Marks)
The cylindrical iron-clad solenoid magnet shown in Figure 1 has a plunger which can move a relatively short
distance x developing a large force ffld. The plunger is guided so that it can move in vertical direction only.
The radial air gap between the shell and the plunger is grad = 1 mm, R=20 mm, and d=10 mm. The exciting coil
has N=1000 turns and carries a constant current of I= 10A.
a) Draw the magnetic equivalent circuit.
b) Compute the flux density (B) in the working air gap for
x=10 mm.
c) Compute the value of the energy stored in Wfld (for x=10
mm).
d) Compute the value of the inductance L (for x=10 mm).
e) For a force ffld of 1000 N determine for x=10 mm the current

Problem 2 (20 Marks)
The open circuit and short circuit test results for a 40 kVA single phase transformer that steps up the voltage
from 415 V to 1100 V are:
• Open Circuit Test (primary open circuited): VOC= 1100 V, IOC= 1.82 A, POC= 320 W.
• Short Circuit Test (secondary short circuited): VSC= 19.5 V, ISC= 96.4 A, PSC= 800 W.
a) Draw the approximate equivalent circuit referred to the primary.
b) Compute all equivalent circuit parameter values ( eq eq R + jX , Rc, Xm) referred to the primary.
c) Compute efficiency at full load with a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
d) Compute the voltage regulation at full with a power factor of 0.8 lagging.
Problem 3 (20 Marks)
A three phase induction motor with “Design B” characteristics has the motor name plate details are as follows:
RATING 22 kW VOLTAGE 415 V
POLES 6 CURRENT 39.8 A
SPEED 965 rev/min CONNECTION DELTA
FREQUENCY 50 Hz NEMA DESIGN B
The friction-windage loss plus the core loss Pf/w + Pcore= 1.53 kW may be considered constant over the speed
range of the motor and the motor parameters are: R1= 0.981 ?, X1= 1.80 ?, and XM= j80 ?. When operating at
a speed of 970 rev/min (not full load) the load torque is 190.5 Nm and the input power factor is 0.906 lagging.
Calculate for a speed of 970rev/min:
a) The output power Pout of the motor.
b) The input line current IL to the motor.
c) The efficiency of the motor.
