ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC QUESTIONS ASKED IN INTERVIEW OF TRAINEE MARINE ENGINEER (TME)
(1) Difference between Induction motor & Synchronisation motor Ans:- In Synchronisation motor a separate dc source is required to excite the rotor but not in induction motors (2) WHY INDUCTION MOTORS MOSTLY USED ON BOARD SHIP (about 95%) Ans. (3) what are the types of three-phase induction motor starter and which is most used and why? Ans:- Three types of starter, a. Direct -online starter, b. Star delta,. C. Autotransformer Star - Delta starter method of starting three-phase induction motors is very common and widely used. (4) what is the purpose of starter in DC motor? Ans:- Starters are used to protect DC motors from damage that can be caused by very high current and torque during startup. They do this by providing external resistance to the motor , which is connected in series to the motor's armature winding and restricts the current to an acceptable level. (5) what is the condition of parallel operation
