1) Describe why starters are essential for 3-phase induction motor? Describe any one type of starter for a squirrel cage and slip-ring induction motor.
2) The following open circuit and short circuit tests are made on a 6000 kVA, 6600 V, star connected, 2 pole 60 Hz turbine driven alternator. If: 125A at open circuit terminal voltage of 8200 V. With armature short circuited If of 125 A and IL (line) of 800 A. At the rated load and UPF armature loss is 1.5% of the output. Find out the percentage regulation at rated load and 0.8 pf lag.
