4) Why link is provided in neutral of an AC circuit and fuse in phase of ac circuit? SESSION:16

SESSION:17
Link is provided at a Neutral common point in the circuit from which various connections are taken for the individual
control circuit and so it is given in a link form to withstand high Amps. But in the case of Fuse in the Phase of AC SESSION:18
circuit it is designed such that the fuse rating is calculated for the particular circuit (i.e. load) only. So if any
SESSION:19
malfunction happens the fuse connected in the particular control circuit alone will blow off.

MASTER INTERVIEW SESSION:25
QUESTION FILE 7) Why use the VCB at High Transmission System? Why can't use ACB?
SESSION:26
Actually the thing is vacuum has high arc quenching property compare to air because in VCB, the dielectric
strengths equal to 8 times of air. That y always vacuum used as in HT breaker and air used as in LT. SESSION:27

SESSION:28
8) What is the difference between MCB & MCCB, Where it can be used?
SESSION:29
MCB is Miniature Circuit Breaker which is thermal operated and use for short circuit protection in small current
SESSION:30
rating circuit. MCCB is moulded case circuit breaker and is thermal operated for over load current and magnetic
operation for instant trip in short circuit condition. Under voltage and under frequency may be inbuilt. Normally it is SESSION:31
used where normal current is more than 100A.
SESSION:32
9) What is the diff. between Electronic regulator and ordinary rheostat regulator for fans?
SESSION:33

The difference between the electronic and ordinary regulator is that in electronic regulator, power losses tend to be SESSION:34
less because as we minimize the speed the electronic regulator give the power necessary for that particular speed
SESSION:35
but in case of ordinary rheostat type reg. the power wastage is same for every speed and no power is saved. In
electronic regulator TRIAC is employed for speed control. By varying the firing angle speed is controlled but in SESSION:36
RHEOSTATIC control resistance is decreased by steps to achieve speed control.
ELECTRICAL
10) What is two phase motor? ENGINEERING
TUTORIAL
A two phase motor is often a motor with the starting winding and the running winding has a phase split. For ELECTRICAL VIDEO
example, ac servo motor where the auxiliary winding and the control winding have a phase split of 90 degree. TUTORIAL

11) What does quality factor depend on in resonance?

Quality factor Q depends on frequency and bandwidth.

12) What are the types of power in electrical power?

There are normally three types of power are counted in electrical power. They are,
Apparent power
Active power
Reactive power

13) What are the advantages of VSCF wind electrical system?

Advantages of VSCF wind electrical system are:

No complex pitch changing mechanism is needed.


Aero turbine always keeps going at maximum efficiency point.
Extra energy in the high wind speed region of the speed - duration curve can be extracted
Significant reduction in aerodynamic stresses, which are associated with constant - speed operation.

14) How can you start-up the 40w tube lite with 230v AC/DC without using any choke/Coil?

It's possible with Electronic choke. Otherwise it's not possible to ionize the particles in Tube Light, with normal
voltage.

15) What are the types of domain in Laplace transforms? What behaviour can Laplace transform predict about how the
system works?

All types of domain of Laplace transforms is s-domain, Laplace transforms provide a method to find position,
acceleration or voltage the system will have.

16) In the magnetic fluxes, what is the role of armature reaction?

The armature flux has an important role for the running condition. This armature flux can oppose the main flux or it
may support the main flux for better running condition. This effect of supporting and opposing of main flux to
armature flux is called armature reaction.

17) Explain thin film resistors and wire-wound resistors.

Thin film resistors- It is constructed as a thin film of resistive material is deposited on an insulating substrate.
Desired results are obtained by either trimming the layer thickness or by cutting helical grooves of suitable pitch
along its length. During this process, the value of the resistance is monitored closely and cutting of grooves is
stopped as soon as the desired value of resistance is obtained.

Wire wound resistors length of wire wound around an insulating cylindrical core are known as wire wound
resistors. These wires are made of materials such as Constantan and Manganin because of their high resistivity,
and low temperature coefficients. The complete wire wound resistor is coated with an insulating material such as
baked enamel.

18) Why star delta starter is preferred with induction motor?

a) Star delta starter is preferred with induction motor due to following reasons:
Starting current is reduced 3-4 times of the direct current due to which voltage drops and hence it causes less
losses.

b) Star delta starter circuit comes in circuit first during starting of motor, which reduces voltage 3 times, that is
why current also reduces up to 3 times and hence less motor burning is caused. In addition, starting torque is
increased and it prevents the damage of motor winding.

19) State the difference between dc generator and alternator?

Generator and alternator are two devices, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Both have the
same principle of electromagnetic induction, the only difference is that their construction. Generator persists
stationary magnetic field and rotating conductor which rolls on the armature with slip rings and brushes riding
against each other, hence it converts the induced emf into dc current for external load whereas an alternator has
a stationary armature and rotating magnetic field for high voltages but for low voltage output rotating armature and
stationary magnetic field is used.

20) Why AC systems are preferred over DC systems?

Due to following reasons, AC systems are preferred over DC systems:

a) It is easy to maintain and change the voltage of AC electricity for transmission and distribution.

b) Plant cost for AC transmission (circuit breakers, transformers etc) is much lower than the equivalent DC
transmission

c) From power stations, AC is produced so it is better to use AC then DC instead of converting it.

d) When a large fault occurs in a network, it is easier to interrupt in an AC system, as the sine wave current will
naturally tend to zero at some point making the current easier to interrupt.

21) How can you relate power engineering with electrical engineering?

Power engineering is a sub division of electrical engineering. It deals with generation, transmission and distribution of
energy in electrical form. Design of all power equipments also comes under power engineering. Power engineers
may work on the design and maintenance of the power grid i.e. called on grid systems and they might work on off
grid systems that are not connected to the system.

22) What are the various kind of cables used for transmission?

Cables, which are used for transmitting power, can be categorized in three forms:

a) Low-tension cables, which can transmit voltage upto 1000 volts.


b) High-tension cables can transmit voltage upto 23000 volts.
c) Super tension cables can transmit voltage 66 kV to 132 kV.

23) Why back emf used for a dc motor? Highlight its significance.

The induced emf developed when the rotating conductors of the armature between the poles of magnet, in a DC

motor, cut the magnetic flux, opposes the current flowing through the conductor, when the armature rotates, is
called back emf. Its value depends upon the speed of rotation of the armature conductors. In starting, the value of
back emf is zero.
24) What is slip in an induction motor?

Slip can be defined as the difference between the flux speed (Ns) and the rotor speed (N). Speed of the rotor of an
induction motor is always less than its synchronous speed. It is usually expressed as a percentage of
synchronous speed (Ns) and represented by the symbol S.
25) Explain the application of storage batteries.

Storage batteries are used for various purposes, some of the applications are mentioned below:

a) For the operation of protective devices and for emergency lighting at generating stations and substations.
b) For starting, ignition and lighting of automobiles, aircrafts etc.

c) For lighting on steam and diesel railways trains.


d) As a supply power source in telephone exchange, laboratories and broad casting stations.

e) For emergency lighting at hospitals, banks, rural areas where electricity supplies are not possible.
