QUESTION 1: OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY 1.1 Unsafe conditions include:

− Inadequate guards around machinery. − No eye protection goggles in the workshop and around the bench

grinder. − Loose and dangerous components on moving machinery.

(1)

1.2 An unsafe action is an action performed by a person/worker that could

cause: − Injury to him/herself or his/her colleagues − Cause damage to tools and equipment − Render a workplace unsafe − Lead to loss of income to the employer

(2) 1.3 Protocol to follow when discovering a person experiencing electrical shock is:

− Do not touch the victim with bare hands until the supply is turned off. − Switch off the supply. − Call a teacher or medical person for help. − If the electricity cannot be switched off and the victim is still in contact

with it push the wire away with an insulated object.

(4)

1.4 Productivity is an important work ethic to assist the growth of South Africa's

economy due to the following reasons: − Safe working procedures are more productive as less time is lost due to

injuries and downtime related to accidents. − Efficient working methods lead to less use of raw materials, thus

increasing profits. − Good ergonomics lead to cleaner and safer work environments and

promotes worker satisfaction and morale. − Workers with a high morale and a good safety record tend to follow

instructions more precisely and enact safe working procedures. − Effective monitoring and reporting systems lead to better quality

assurance of products, thus placing a better product in the market within a shorter time frame, thus promoting productivity.

(3) [10] QUESTION 2: THREE-PHASE AC GENERATION 2.1 A Kilo-watt hour meter (1) 2.2 Two advantages of three-phase systems over single-phase systems are:

− 3φ can be operated in star or delta.

− Three-phase systems can supply both three-phase and single-phase installations of power

− In generators and motors, for the same size frames, three-phase machines delivers more power than single-phase machines

(3) [20] QUESTION 3: THREE-PHASE TRANSFORMERS 3.1 By laminating and insulating the laminations of the core of the transformer. (1) 3.2 Two similarities between single phase and three-phase are:

− Both have the same functional operations − Transformers are used to step down or step up the supply voltage − Both can have either the closed core type or shell core type − No electrical connections between primary and secondary windings, with

the exception of the autotransformer.

(2) 3.3 Two factors that may cause excessive heating in a transformer are:

− Insufficient ventilation − Constant overloading − Loose connections − Ineffective tap-changer contacts − Impure/carbonized/insufficient transformer oil

(2) 3.4 Applications of delta-star connected transformers in power distribution

systems are: − Single and three-phase supply to Commercial sites

− Three-phase supply to Industrial areas

− Single and three-phase supply to domestic installations − Single and three-phase supply to agricultural installations − Three-phase supply to other substations (transformers) in a ring-fed

supply network.

(2) 3.5 The function of a transformer is to 'step down' or to 'step up'

(transform) the voltage in a distribution network to the required value.

− pumps − lifts − cranes

(1)

4.2 Advantages of a three-phase over single-phase motors:

− For the same size frame a three-phase motor delivers more power − Three-phase motors are self-starting − More robust − Simple construction

(3) 4.3 4.3.1 At start motors draw more than the motors rated current. This may

lead to unnecessary tripping of the motor and the increased current at start causes wear on switch gear.

(3) 4.3.2 The motor is started in the star mode which reduces the voltage

across each phase of the motor as in star VPH = √3 VL. As the voltage across each phase is reduced, the current in each phase will also be reduced.

4.4 The operation of three-phase squirrel cage induction motor: − Three-phase supply is such that the peak voltage of each phase is

reached at 120o intervals. − When a squirrel cage motor is connected across a three phase

alternating supply, alternating current will flow in the respective stator windings.

− As a result the alternating current will set up a magnetic field in and around the respective stator windings.

− The stator windings are however spaced 120o apart around the axis of the motor.

− The result is that the magnetic field has a rotating maximum flux density as the peak in each winding is reached at a 120o interval, resulting in a rotating magnetic field.

− A squirrel cage rotor consists of cage like conductors bound electrically with a short circuit ring at each end.

− The rotating magnetic field will sweep across the rotor conductors of the squirrel cage rotor.

− As the magnetic field sweeps over the rotor conductors, the magnetic flux will cut/cross the rotor conductors.

− Faraday's law determines that an EMF will be induced in the rotor windings due to the sweeping action of the rotating magnetic field.

− Lenz's Law will determine that the induced current will be such that its force will oppose the inducing action (from the stator), thus establishing a repelling force between the stator and rotor (due to the opposing magnetic fields), thus forcing the rotor into rotation.

− When the speed of the rotor approaches the speed of the rotating magnetic field (synchronic speed), the inducing action is reduced and the rotor tends to slow down. The result is that the rotor rotates at a speed lower than that of the rotating magnetic field (synchronic speed)

4.5.2 The reading on the meter should be of a high resistive value, more than 1 MΩ, this will indicate that there is no electrical connection between the windings showing sound/good insulation.

(3)

4.5.3 A low resistance reading will indicate that there is electrical connection

between the winding and earth. This will indicate any electrical fault that may lead to an operator being shocked in the motor is energised.

(8) Note to markers:

− The candidate may use inverse functions (simulating real world NO and NC switches) in the ladder circuit, which must be considered. Should it function correctly marks are to be awarded to the candidate. − Note that some labels may differ from that of the learner. − Please check that the learner utilises labelling consistently throughout the answer.

6.7.3 PLC's allow for the use of markers as the number of operands3 that

can be placed in a rung3 of the Ladder program is limited3 due to hardware design constraints. A marker/flag is a function of PLC programming that can be used as a placeholder, or a subroutine which in turn simplifies the ladder program.

QUESTION 7: AMPLIFIERS 7.1 Characteristics of ideal op-amps are:

− Open-loop voltage gain AV = infinite − Input impedance Zin = infinite − Output impedance Z0 = zero − Bandwidth = infinite − Unconditional stability − Differential inputs, i.e. two inputs − Infinite common-mode rejection

(2)

7.2 The bandwidth is the range of frequencies within which an amplifier can

amplify without distorting the output signal (retain linearity) or losing gain.

(3) 7.3 Positive feedback is obtained when the output signal of an amplifier circuit is

fed back to the input of the circuit. When the signal is fed back to the input, it is in phase with the input signal, thus added to the input signal.

7.5.2

(3) 7.6 Advantages of using negative feedback are:

− Bandwidth is increased. − Level of noise (hiss) is decreased. − Gain is decreased. − Deformation of the input signal is reduced.
