All questions with multiple answers imply that any relevant, acceptable answer should be considered. 2. Calculations: 2.1 All calculations must show the formulae. 2.2 Substitution of values must be done correctly. 2.3 All answers MUST contain the correct unit to be considered. 2.4 Alternative methods must be considered, provided that the correct answer is obtained. 2.5 Where an incorrect answer could be carried over to the next step, the first answer will be deemed incorrect. However, should the incorrect answer be carried over correctly, the marker has to recalculate the values, using the incorrect answer from the first calculation. If correctly used, the candidate should receive the full marks for subsequent calculations. 2.6 Markers should consider that candidates' answers may deviate slightly from the marking guidelines, depending on how and where in the calculation rounding off was used. 3. This marking guideline is only a guide with model answers. Alternative interpretations must be considered and marked on merit. However, this principle should be applied consistently.

(4) 5.5 By swopping any two supply lines, the direction of rotation can be reversed V¥ (2) 5.6 Voltage ¥ Current Frequency Phase (1) 5.7 At starting, the induced emf in the rotor bars, being short-circuited will be very high due to the full rated supply line voltage applied to the motor windings. ¥ The peak starting current can be up to six times the full load current. ¥ The motor windings can be damaged by the high current. Y¥ Starters therefore reduce the starting voltages across the windings to protect them. ¥ (4) 5.8 Such a low reading indicates a short circuit between the U and W coils. ¥ The reading should not be less than 1 MQ. ¥ The motor should not be activated. ~ (3) 5.9 The reading must be very high up - to infinity ¥ but not less than 1 MQ for a motor in good condition. ~ (2) 5.10 Slip = "=<™ x 100%” 3 600-3 384 = a & 100%Y = 6%V (3) 5.11 woe _ input—losses Ef ficiency(n) = apa 100%V 25 000- 2200 =Js000 * 100% = 91,2%Y (3) 5.12 P= V3V,I, cos nV = V3 x 415 x 20x08x0,9% = 1035kWv (3) [34] Copyright reserved Please turn over

This current signal is then converted into 0 – 5 V voltage signal using a very accurate 1% tolerance 250 Ω resistor. 9 The PLC then receives a 0 – 5 V DC voltage which represents the real world situation. 9 (4) 6.6 Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) is a binary code which converts each decimal number in a number sequence, 9 into its own four-bit binary code. 9Then each of these four-bit coded numbers are generated together to form the eventual binary representation of that decimal number. 9 (3) 6.7 6.7.1 0110 0011 0100 0111 6 3 4 79 6 347109 (2) 6.7.2 1001 0010 0100 1000 9 2 4 89 9 248109 (2) 6.8 An opto-isolator uses light to transfer an electrical signal between circuits, 9 while keeping them electrically isolated from each other. 9 Therefore when used in a PLC circuit they isolate the PLC from any electrical overload damage. 9 (3) Copyright reserved Please turn over
