  2. 167.0 Hz
  3. 7.0 kHz
  4. 6 kHz

Correct answer: (D)
6 kHz

95. The stationary alternator should not be connected to live bus-bars because it

  1. is likely to run as synchronous motor
  2. will get short - circuited

  4. will disturb generated emf's of other alternators connected in parallel.

Correct answer: (B)
will get short - circuited
