X1 = 0.25p.u; X2 = 0.35p.u and X 0 = 0.10 p.u
The neutral of the alternator is solidly grounded. Determine the alternator line
currents when a double line-to-ground fault occurs on its terminals. Assume that
the alternator is unloaded and is operating at rated voltage when the fault
occurs.

24. A symmetrical star connected three-phase load is made of three identical coils
having an internal resistance of 12 Ohm and inductance of 142 mH. The power
taken by this load when connected to a balanced three-phase three-wire supply
of 400V, 50 Hz is measured using the two wattmeter method. The watt meters
used are similar and are of type of 400V, 5A, UPF, class 1 accuracy.
(i) Determine expected readings in W1, W2.
(ii) Compute the total power and
(iii) the possible worst case error in W1, W2 and the total power.

25. For an M N matrix [A], it is desired to print from each row of matrix, the
element having the largest absolute magnitude in that particular row. Draw a
suitable flow chart (for a computer program) to perform such a task.

26. Consider the thyristor circuit of figure. The thyristor is given a triggering pulse

28. A 50 Hz, 440 V, three-phase, 4-pole induction motor develops half the rated
torque at 1490 rpm. With the applied voltage magnitude remaining at the rated
value. What should be its frequency if the motor has to develop the same torque
at 1600 rpm? Neglect stator and rotor winding resistances, leakage reactances
and iron losses.
