Name the motor which carries a single-phase exciting winding which is similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor that carries a distributed DC type winding. Correct Answer Repulsion motor

Repulsion motor carries a single-phase exciting winding which is similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor that carries a distributed DC type winding.

Concept:

  • Repulsion Motor is a special kind of single-phase AC motor which works due to the repulsion of similar poles.
  •  The stator of this motor is supplied with a single-phase AC supply and the rotor circuit is shorted through a carbon brush.

Construction:

  • The main components of the repulsion motor are stator, rotor and commutator brush assembly.
  •  The stator carries a single-phase exciting winding similar to the main winding of a single-phase induction motor.
  • The rotor has distributed DC winding connected to the commutator at one end just like in the DC motor. The carbon brushes are short-circuited on themselves.

Figure shows the construction of a repulsion motor:

Working principle of Repulsion motor:

  • When the stator winding of the repulsion motor is supplied with single-phase AC, it produces a magnetic flux along the direct axis as shown in the figure above by arrow mark.
  • This magnetic flux when the link with the rotor winding, creates an emf. Due to this emf, a rotor current is produced.
  • This rotor current in turn produces a magnetic flux that is directed along the brush axis due to commutator assembly.
  • Due to the interaction of stator and rotor-produced fluxes, an electromagnetic torque is produced.

  • In the above figure, the angle α between the stator-produced field and brush axis is 90°.
  • This means the brush axis is in quadrature with the direct. Under this condition, there will not be any mutual induction between the stator and rotor windings.
  • Therefore, no emf and hence no rotor current is produced. Thus no electromagnetic torque is developed.

  • In this condition, a maximum emf is induced across the brushes. This is because the rotor and stator magnetic flux coincide and hence there is a perfect mutual coupling between them.

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.
Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
For the next cyclone if it is the turn of an Indian name to be chosen, then what will be that name?
