Exam Format

	2017–2021 (Old)	2023–2024 (OBE)
Total Marks	72 (8 × 12)	60 (8 × 10)
Attempt	6 of 8 (3 per section)	Same
Sections	A = Transformer, B = Induction Motor	Same

The 6 Questions That Never Miss 🔥

These appeared in 5+ out of 7 papers. Expect them on your exam:

Topic	Appearances	Section
OC & SC Test → parameters, efficiency, regulation	7/7	A
Open-Δ → prove 57.7% capacity	6/7	A
Voltage Regulation derivation (lag / lead / unity)	5/7	A
Rotating Magnetic Field proof (${\Phi }_R=1.5{\Phi }_m$)	5/7	B
DFRT (Double Field Revolving Theory) for 1-φ IM	5/7	B
1-φ IM Starting Methods (split-phase, capacitor-start, etc.)	6/7	B

Copy-Paste Numericals

The examiner recycles data. These identical problems appeared across papers:

• 20 kVA, 2400/240V OC/SC test → 2018, 2021
• No-load: 220V/110V, 0.5A, 30W → 2020, 2024
• Scott: 3300V→440V, 33 KVA → 2018, 2024
• 8-pole, 50Hz, slip 2%: Tmax/Tf ratio → 2017, 2019 (variant in 2024)
• IM as IG: 440V, 4-pole, 1470 rpm → 2018, 2024

Solve every unique numerical from the 7 papers (~20 problems) and you'll almost certainly see something identical in the exam.

Trends Worth Watching

↑ Rising	↓ Declining	⚠️ Syllabus Gap

"Justify" style open-ended questions	Plugging/braking definitions	Effect of R₂/X₂ on T-s curves

Preparation Tiers

Tier	What	Count
🔴 MUST	OC/SC, Open-Δ, DFRT, 1-φ starting, RMF, Slip	6
🟠 HIGH	EMF equation, VR, T-s curve, Tmax, eq. circuit, phasor, circle diagram, efficiency	8
🟡 MEDIUM	Scott, parallel operation, Y-Δ starter, IG, all-day η, auto-transformer, plugging, speed control	9
🟢 BONUS	Vector groups, 1-φ IM eq. circuit, crawling/cogging, R₂/X₂ effect	6
