Answer PaperPaper Code: 155BBMaximum Marks: 75Time: 3 Hours

Question paper consists of Part A and Part B. Part A is compulsory (25 marks). In Part B, Answer any one question from each unit (10 marks each).

Part A

125 marks
a

What is space factor in machine design?

2 marks

Answer

The space factor is defined as the ratio of the actual copper area in a slot to the total area of the slot. It accounts for the space occupied by insulation, air gaps, and the shape of the conductors.

b

What is the need of thermal considerations in machine design?

3 marks

Answer

Thermal considerations are essential because excessive heat degrades insulation materials, leading to premature failure of the machine. Proper thermal design ensures the machine operates within safe temperature limits, maximizes efficiency, and maintains the expected service life of the windings and core.

c

What are the major causes of temperature rise in transformers?
