A $220 \mathrm{~V} / 12 \mathrm{~V}$ single-phase transformer is designed for use in India and rated 100 VA at 50 Hz . Later, this unit is shipped to the USA where it is used as a $110 \mathrm{~V} / 6 \mathrm{~V}$ transformer at 60 Hz . Which of the following statements is/are correct?

A

No-load current drawn would be smaller for operation in the USA compared to that in India

B

For the same load current, the losses would be higher in the USA compared to that in India

C

The peak magnetic flux density in the core would be higher while operating in the USA compared to that in India

D

The eddy current losses in the core would be approximately $44 \%$ higher while operating in the USA compared to that in India

A balanced three-phase supply is given to a $30 \mathrm{~kW}, 4$-pole, $400 \mathrm{~V}, 50 \mathrm{~Hz}$, wound rotor induction motor with Y-connected stator and rotor windings. The motor is driving a constant torque load. With shorted slip rings, the machine runs at 1476 rpm .

When an external non-inductive resistance of $0.27 \Omega$ per phase is connected in series in the rotor circuit, the steady-state speed drops to 1404 rpm .

Neglecting rotational losses, the actual per phase rotor winding resistance is $\_\_\_\_$ $\Omega$. (Round off to two decimal places)
