Question Paper

This document is a test for a 3rd year electrical engineering class on the design of electrical machines. It contains two parts: Part A with 5 short answer questions about real/apparent flux density, air gap length formulas, synchronous machine design factors, DC shunt generator output equations, and advantages/disadvantages of large number of poles. Part B contains 4 alternative long answer questions about synchronous generator dimensions with changing speed/loading, air gap flux density calculations for a water wheel generator, steps for lap/wave winding design, shunt field design procedure, and factors affecting armature length/diameter choice.
