Why 2-phase induction motors are NOT used in industries even though they have rotating magnetic field.

abhinav Kumar

• Sep 6th, 2015

Two phase motor essentially use in domestic use like water pump set ... It gives high torque and low efficiency. The phase diff 180 or 90 make the two phases with the help of capacitor.

anilsabaji

• Mar 11th, 2012

2 Phase motors have low efficiency and low power factor. There are higher chances of stalling.

MOST IMPORTANT: 2 phase load will create imbalance in the power system and high current and bulky too. Why should we use it when we have more efficient 3 phase induction motors

Why we are preferring 4 pole alternator in the production of electric power instead of 2 pole alternator ?

vijay kumar

• Oct 19th, 2015

Number of poles are chosen to get 50Hz frequency for a given speed. n=(120*f)/p

s.asokan

• Jul 28th, 2014

Speed is depend on number of poles and frequency. Commomnly all motors are used 1500 RPM and Indian standrad frequency 50hz also motor used 4 pole. In rare case nearly 3000 RPM (high speed motors, ht alternators) machines are used 2 poles.

We are using neutral in Star Circuit and same in Delta Circuit is not used. What is the reason? Explain in brief.

Maheshkanna

• Nov 9th, 2015

Neutral is used to close a circuit but delta circuit is already closed so the neutral connection not used in delta circuit.

bala

• Oct 23rd, 2015

Normally delta connection is arrived by connecting two terminals of successive phase in a closed path and there is no common point of reference. But in case of star network one terminal is common to all phase thus creating a neutral.

What is the purpose of Q-point in transistor?

MADHUSHREE SINHA

• Nov 9th, 2015

It is a DC operating point between saturation and cutoff. It must be selected in a way that it does not go into saturation or cutoff.

bala

• Oct 24th, 2015

It is more important for a transistor because according to this value, it may operate as an amplifier or a switch and most importantly the point should not vary with temperature hence we normally prefer voltage divider bias.
