Why a higher capacity squirrel cage induction motor is not recommended for operating under
low load condition? :
(வ) Vaoltage drop in line will be too much
(B) Power factor will be less
(C) Higher capacity mofors does not run at constant speed
(D) Torque is too much hence it may cause damage
Shunts and multipliers used in MC instruments are made up of Mangnin. The reason for

(B) The power factor increases by three times in delta connection when compared to
star connection
(0 The line current is three times higher in delta connection than in star connection
(D)) _The voltage in each phase increases by two times and the current by 1.732 times
In a parallel resonant circuit the capacitor current is ٭
(ക) More than line current (B) Less than line current
(0) Equal to line current (D) None of the above
