And Application Exam Questions And Answers
A _____ is produced by the fields poles, and a loop of wire in the
armature turns and cuts this magnetic field. - ANSWER -Magnetic field
CEMF - ANSWER -Counter electromotive force (CEMF)
Horsepower: (Definition) - ANSWER -The rated output capacity of the
motor. It is based on breakdown torque, which is the maximum torque a
motor will develop without an abrupt drop in speed.
Horsepower: (Equation) - ANSWER -Hp= Watts/746
Types of DC motors - ANSWER -Shunt
Series
Compound
Types of AC motors - ANSWER -Synchronous and Induction (Single
and Polyphase)
Periodic duty: (Definition) - ANSWER -Intermittent operation at a
substantially constant load for a short and definitely specified time.
Revolutions per minute (rpm): (Definition) - ANSWER -The
approximate full-load speed at the rated power line frequency. The speed
of a motor is determined by the number of poles in the winding.
Rotation: (Definition) - ANSWER -For single-phase motors, the
standard rotation, unless otherwise noted, is counterclockwise facing the
, lead or opposite shaft end. All motors can be reconnected at the terminal
board for opposite rotation unless other wise indicated.
Synchronous speed: (Definition) - ANSWER -The speed of the
revolving field of the stator, which is dependent on the supply frequency
and number of poles in a stator winding.
Field poles: (Definition) - ANSWER -The stationary portion of a DC
motor that produces the magnetic field.
The name of the motor part that rotates during operation is the ____. -
ANSWER -Armature
The principle reason for developing the brushless DC motor was to ___.
- ANSWER -eliminate commutator problems
The electrical energy required to produce 1hp of mechanical energy is
_____. - ANSWER -746W
When there is a wide variation in both torque and speed requirements,
such as a blower or hoist, use a _____. - ANSWER -series DC motor
The name of the stationary motor part that produces the magnetic field
during operation is the ____. - ANSWER -stator
The rpm of a 60Hz motor with two poles is ___. - ANSWER -3,600rpm
In three-phase motors, the rotor most commonly used is the _____. -
ANSWER -squirrel cage rotor
