1. Concentrated winding differ from distributed winding with

the concern of
a) identical magnetic axis
b) two magnetic axis
c) no magnetic axis

View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Concentrated winding have all turns on one
magnetic axis.
2. DC machines have ________ windings and synchronous

machines use ______ windings.

View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: All the commutator machines use closed
winding as it has nothing to deal with reactance. In ac
machines, the winding can be converted
to star to delta and vice versa.
3. We can place closed windings in

a) ac commutator machine
b) stepper motor
c) ac machine
d) dc machine
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Closed windings are placed only in
commutator as it does not need any reconnections later.
4. Which of the following machines can be used to place

open slot winding?
a) ac machine
b) ac commutator machine, ac machine
c) dc machines
d) all of the mentioned
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Only ac machines are used for open type of
winding inside the machine.
5. The simplex lap winding has the range of winding pitch of

a) (-2,2)
2 of 8 3/16/18, 3:26 PM
b) (-1,1)
c) more than 2
d) less than 1
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: For a progressive winding, forward pitch –
backward pitch = winding pitch
yb= coil sides/P +or-1 (m)
Here m is such that to make yb an odd integer.
6. The commutator pitch for a simplex lap winding is equal

to
a) 1 and -1
b) 1
c) -1
d) 2 to -2
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: It is either 1 or -1.
7. A 200V dc machine has 4 poles and 40 coils, having

simplex lap winding. The number of commutator segments
which required in the given machine will be
a) 40
b) 20
c) 80
d) 26
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: It is a simplex winding and so one segment of

commutator will be needed for each coil.
8. Commutator segments in a DC shunt machine is equal to

the number of
a) coil sides
b) turns
c) coils
d) slots
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Commutator segments are placed as per the
coil sides in the machine.
9. We can employ dummy coils in a DC machine to

a) compensate reactance voltage
b) reduce armature reaction
c) provide mechanical balance to the armature
d) improve the waveforms generated inside the commutator
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Dummy coils are placed inside so that to
provide mechanical support to dc machine and they do not
take part in the emf development.
10. In AC machines we should prefer double layer winding

over single layer windings because
a) it requires identical coils
b) it is economical to use
c) it offers lower leakage reactance
View Answer
4 of 8 3/16/18, 3:26 PM
Answer: a
Explanation: Double layer winding enables more usage of
the space and lesser air gaps so the leakage flux also
reduces and efficiency improves.
11. For an electrical machine with C number of coils and P

poles, the distance between the coils connected by an
equalizer ring is
a) C/P
b) C/2
c) 2C/P
d) C/2P
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: backward pitch for an equalizer ring = number
of coils/pole pairs = C/P/2=2C/P.
12. With a P-pole DC machine with armature current Ia, the

current per brush arm for a lap connected windings is
a) Ia/P
b) Ia/2P
c) 2Ia/P
d) Ia/4P
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Current per brush (lap winding) = total
armature current/Number of pole pairs.
13. For a given dc machine it is advised to use the dummy

windings for a stable operation. But if it has be replaced as
it unused component in the machine, then we must
5 of 8 3/16/18, 3:26 PM
a) S/P/2 should not be an integer

b) S/P/2 should be integer
c) S/P should be integer
d) S/P should not be an integer
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If slots per pole pair is not integer than all the
winding will be completed without adding any dummy coil.
14. While doing regular checks on the dc machine with the

lap connected winding, it is reported to have ammeter
fluctuations, this can be due to
a) different air gaps under poles
b) variable reluctances in the core
c) irregular design deformations
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: In a lap winding configuration, if the machine
as air gap variations due to the design aspects, it will give
circulating current in the windings.
15. A 6-pole lap wound DC generator has a developed

power of P watts and brush voltage of E volts.
Three adjacent brushes of the machine had been found
worn out and got open circuited.
If the machine is operated with the remaining brushes,
voltage and power that could be obtained from the machine
are
a) E,P
6 of 8 3/16/18, 3:26 PM
b) E,2P/3
c) E/P,2P/3
d) E,P/3
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Taking Kirchoff’s law into study here, the
voltage across the winding will remain same.
But the current will reduce in the overall winding as the
resistance has increased, so power will decrease by 1/3.
16. Consider a dc machine having its armature wound in lap

fashion having 12 coils and each resistance 0.1 ohms.
If it is measured resistance between two adjacent
commutator segments, the result will be
a) 0.092 ohms
b) 1.1 ohms
c) 1.8 ohms
d) 0.92 ohms
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: There are 11 resistance which are in parallel to
one resistance. So taking the equivalent resistance of 11
series connected
resistance and the one single resistance of the commutator
segment.
R(eq) = 0.1||1.1 = 0.0917
