ABB India Interview Questions & Answers

Q: Why is a star-delta starter preferred for an induction motor?

A: It cuts the high starting (inrush) current of an induction motor by starting the windings in star, then switching to delta for normal running.

Answer by AI
  • At start the windings are connected in star, so each winding sees only phase voltage (1/√3 of line voltage), reducing starting current to about one-third.
  • Once the motor nears full speed the starter switches to delta for full-voltage running torque.
  • This protects the supply and motor from the ~6-7× full-load inrush a direct-on-line start would draw.

Q: State the difference between a generator and an alternator.

A: Both convert mechanical energy to electrical, but a generator can output DC or AC while an alternator outputs only AC; in an alternator the field rotates and the armature is stationary.

Answer by AI
  • A DC generator has a rotating armature with a commutator; an alternator has a stationary armature and a rotating magnetic field.
  • An alternator always produces AC; a generator may produce DC (with a commutator) or AC.
  • Alternators are more efficient at higher speeds and are the standard in modern power generation.

Q: Why is back EMF important in a DC motor? Explain its significance.

A: Back EMF is the voltage a running DC motor generates opposing the supply; it regulates armature current and makes the motor self-regulating with load.

Answer by AI
  • As the armature rotates it acts like a generator, inducing a voltage (back EMF) that opposes the applied voltage.
  • Back EMF limits armature current: Ia = (V − Eb)/Ra, so current rises only as load increases and Eb falls.
  • This makes a DC motor self-regulating - it draws just the current the mechanical load needs.

Q: What is the use of a megger?

A: A megger measures very high insulation resistance by applying a high DC test voltage - used to check the insulation health of cables, windings and equipment.

Answer by AI
  • A megger (megohmmeter) applies a high DC voltage (e.g. 500 V/1 kV) and measures leakage current to compute insulation resistance in megohms.
  • It tests insulation of cables, transformer/motor windings and switchgear for degradation or moisture ingress.
  • A low reading signals weak or failing insulation that could cause leakage or a short.
