Description : State advantages of short pitch winding over full pitch winding in alternators. 

Last Answer : Advantages of Short Pitch Winding over Full Pitch Winding in Alternators: 1) Short pitching reduces the amount of copper needed for end connection when compared with full pitched coil. 2) They ... reduced, thereby increasing the efficiency. 4) The power quality of generated emf is improved. 

Description : What do you mean by active filter? State its advantages over passive filter . Define pass band & stop band with respect to filter.

Last Answer : Active Filter: Active Filter is formed by using active element along with the passive components.  Advantages of Active filter over Passive filter: High value of pass band gain can be obtained. It is ... pass band.  Stop Band Filter: The frequency range which is attenuated is known as stop band.

Description : State two advantages of digital system over analog system.

Last Answer : 1. They are less susceptible to noise. 2. The effect of fluctuation in the characteristic of the components, ageing of components etc. is very small in digital circuits. 3. Digital circuits have capability of memory which makes them suitable for computers. 4. More accurate.

Description : Thyristor can be protected from over voltages by using

Last Answer : Thyristor can be protected from over voltages by using Voltage clamping device

Description : The main advantage of AC over DC is:  (A) Conversion flexibility from one voltage level to other (B) AC can be easily converted into DC by using a rectifier (C) AC is easy to maintain & can be easily distributed at long distances (D) All of the above

Last Answer : Ac is easy to maintain and ac can be easily converted to dc by rectifier .There is no commutator for conversion in ac that's why ac machines are weight less and more efficiency.ac machines occupy less space than dc .
