Q: 1. (CLO-3)

a) A balanced ac bridge has the following constants: arm AB, R = 2,000  in parallel with C =
0.047  F; arm BC, R = 1,000  in series with C = 0.47  F; arm CD, unknown; arm DA, C
= 0.5  F. The frequency of the oscillator is 1,000 Hz. Find the constants of arm CD.

b) A bridge is balanced at 1,000 Hz and has the following constants: AB, 0.2  F pure
capacitance; BC, 500  pure resistance; CD, unknown; DA, R = 300  in parallel with C =
0.1  F. Find the R and C or L constants of arm CD, considered as a series circuit.

c) A 1,000-Hz bridge has the following constants: arm AB, R = 1,000  in parallel with C = 0.5
 F; BC, R = 1,000  in series with C= 0.5  F; CD, L = 30 mH in series with R = 200  .
Find the constants of arm DA to balance the bridge. Express the result as a pure R in series
with a pure C or L and also a pure R in parallel with a pure C or L.

d) An ac bridge has in arm AB a pure capacitance of 0.2  F; in arm BC, a pure resistance of
500  : in arm CD, a series combination of R = 50  and L = 0.1 H. Arm DA consists of a
capacitor C = 0.4  F in series with a variable resistor Rs. w = 5,000 rad/s. (a) Find the value
of Rs to obtain bridge balance. (b) Can complete balance be attained by the adjustment of R s?
If not, specify the position and value of an adjustable resistance to complete the balance.

e) An ac bridge has the following constants: arm AB, R = 1,000  in parallel with C = 0.159 
F; BC, R = 1,000  ; CD, R = 500  ; DA, C = 0.636  F in series with an unknown
resistance. Find the frequency for which this bridge is in balance and deter mine the value of
the resistance in arm DA to produce this balance.

f) A ring-core type CT with nominal ratio 1000/5 and a bar primary has a secondary winding
resistance of 0.8 Ω and negligible reactance. The no load current is 4 A at a power factor of
0.35 when full load secondary current is flowing in a burden if 1.5 Ω no-inductive resistance.
Calculate the ratio error and phase-angle error at full load. Also calculate the flux in the core
at 50 Hz.

g) A potential transformer with nominal ratio 1000/100 V has the following parameters: Primary
resistance = 96 Ω, secondary resistance = 0.8 Ω, Primary reactance = 80 Ω secondary
reactance = 0.65 Ω, No load current = 0.03 A at 0.35 power factor Calculate

(i) phase angle error at no load

(ii) burden in VA at unity power factor at which phase angle error will be zero.
