Answer All Questions :
1 a) What is load equalization? Derive the moment of inertia of the flywheel (8 marks)
b) What are active and Passive loads? Draw the speed torque characteristics for constant power load applications (7 marks)

c) A motor equipped with a flywheel has to supply a load torque of 600N-m for 10sec followed by a no load period long enough for the flywheel to regain its full speed. It is desired to limit the motor torque to 450 N-m.

What should be the moment of inertia of the flywheel? The no load speed of the motor is 600 rpm and it has a slip of 8% at torque of 400N-m. Assume the motor speed –torque characteristics to be a straight line in the range of operation. Motor has an inertia of 10kg- m2. (10 marks)
OR

2 a) Derive the condition for steady state stability of a motor load system. (8 marks)
b) State and explain essential parts of electrical drives. What are the functions of a power modulator? (7 marks)

c) A weight of 500kg is lifted up at a uniform speed of 1.5m/s by a winch driven by a motor running at a speed of 1000 rpm. The moments of inertia of the motor and winch are 0.5 and 0.3 kg- m2 respectively.
