which of the folowing controll devices is not required to be used with a ac generator
|
zenior diode
|
|
small generators rely on which for initial excitation
|
residual magnetisim
|
|
Lru's are
|
line replacable units
|
|
the ability of a magnet to retain magnetisim after the magnetizing force is removed
|
is called the retentivity
|
|
the output voltage of a aircraft generator is controlled by varing
|
the strength of the field
|
|
dc alternators employ diodes for the purpose of converting
|
alternating current to direct current
|
|
poor voltage regulation under changing load and the fact that they are never usd as aircraft generators describe a
|
seies wound generator
|
|
the of a dc generator serves as a rectirier which prouduces direct current
|
commuttor and brushes
|
|
the most practical method of mainting a constant voltaage output from an aircraft generator under varying conditions of speed and load is to vary the
|
strength of the magnetic field
|
|
the distortion or bending of the magnetic flux field between the poles of a generator under load thus causing a shift in the neutral plane is called
|
armature reaction
|
|
the ac frequency prouduced by a generator is determined by the
|
# of rpm's divided by the # of poles
|
|
when seating in new generator brushes you would generally use
|
000 sandpaper
|
|
the magnetic linsof flux usually flow from north to south and therfore mostgenerators have an even # of poles true or false
|
true
|
|
which is of the folowing not one of the purposes of interpoles in a generator
|
reduce field strength
|
|
when a dc generator is first putting out its rated voltage it is said to have reached its
|
coming in speed
|
|
a dc alternator uses aircraft power to get startes prouducing voltage and current dose or dose not
|
dose
|
|
to minimize arcing brushes are replaced
|
on the neutralo plane
|
|
in a dc alternator the stator is the
|
stationary output coils
|
|
in a dc alternator which of the following is not needed as a control device
|
curtrent limiter
|
|
how much should the mica insulators be undercut on the armature lathe
|
equal to the width or thikness of the mica
|
|
to restore residual magnetisim to a dc alternator you must
|
do nothing as an alternator dose not use residual magnetisim
|
|
what device is used to convert alternating current which has been induced into the loops of the rotating armature of a dc generator to direct current
|
a commutator
|
|
the stationary field strenth in a d irect current generator is varied
|
according to the load requirements
|
|
true of false since some brusheless alternators utilize a permenent manet their is no need to flash the field
|
truse
|
|
in a dc alternator (working properly) as the load is increased 9within capacity) the voltage will
|
remain constant and the amperage will increase
|
|
generator voltage will not build up wen the field is flashed and solder is found on a brush cover plate thses are most likely indications of
|
a shered armature shaft
|
|
the diodes are installed in a dc alternator to
|
rectifie ac generated in the output stator coils
|
|
to provide constant frequency on large aircraft as an engine speed varies and to maintain a uniform frequency between multiple generators, most ac generators are connected to a
|
csd system
|
|
true or false generator brushes are normally replaced at overhaul or when half worn
|
true
|
|
dc generator ratings are generaly
|
stamped on the data or name plate
|
|
the rotation of generators is termed as either clockwise or counterclockwise as viewed from the
|
driven end
|
|
according to the laft hand rule for gdnerators the thumb would indicate the
|
counductor moement
|
|
when genertaor voltage is regulated by the field rheostat more resistance results in
|
less out put voltage
|
|
some modern jet aircraft produce ac generator called a wich differs from a csd in that both the constant sped drive and the generator are sealed in the same housing
|
idg integrated drive generator
|
|
in a brushless alternator current is induced into the field coil through an
|
exciter
|
|
all the current is carried from the bruch of a dc generator supported in a brush holder through the rather than through the sliding contact made between the brush and the brush guide or brush holder
|
brush pigail
|
|
true or fale a voltage regulator controls the generator output voltage by varying the ressistance of the generator field
|
true
|
|
true or fales the voltage out put ofan ac alternator is determoned by the amount of current flowing in its dc exciter out put field
|
false
|
|
true or false a rectifier as an electrical check valve that allows electrond to flow in only on direction
|
false
|
|
t or f generators are rated according to the current they can prouduce at their rated voltage
|
true
|
|
t or f the poles of a generator are made of laminated soft to reducethe sddy currents and concentarte the lines of force
|
fales
|
|
t or f if an ohmeter is connected correctly and indicates some valuse of ressistance current is flowing through the compnet and it has continuity and it has an open
|
false
|
|
t or f acsd unit drives a genertaor throuh the use of a variable hydroulicpump and a hydrulic motor
|
true
|
