MCQ
3723. For the protection of lines against faults Involving variable fault resistance, the preferred relaying scheme is a-
Plain impedance relay
Directional over-current relay
Mho relay
Reactance relay
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Reactance type relay is very suitable as a ground relay for ground fault because its reach is not affected by Jault impedance.
3727. The relay used for feeder protection --
Under voltage relay
Translay relay
Thermal relay
Buchholz relay
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The armingement is similar to over current relay, but the secondary winding is not closed on nelf. These types of relays are ward in the feeder protection and the scheme is called the Translay relay
3728. In aluminium conductors, steel core is provided to-
compensate for skin effect
neutralise proximity effect
reduce line inductance
increases the tensile strength
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Aluminium is light in weight and is having good conductivity. But it is having very low tensile strengst To make it suitable to be used as a conductor for the transmission line, we need to increase its tensile strength. To increase the tensile strength steel is used as a core of conductor.
3729. Inverse time current relays are used for the protection of-
Feeders
Transformers
Alternators
Both A and B
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Inverse time current relays, operating time is inversely changed with current So, hich current will operate over current relay faster than lower ones. It is used feeders and transformers
3730. Which of the following equipment is used to limit short circuit current level in a sub-station?
Isolator
Lightning switch
Coupling capacitor
Series reactor
ব্যাখ্যা: ব‍্যাখ্যা: Series reactors are mosily sard to limit short circuit current level in a substation.
3731. An ideal location for the substation would be at ---the of load.
Centre of gravity
Load centre
Nearer to consumer
None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Ideal location for an electrical substation for a grang building will be at the electrical load center.
3732. Outdoor sub-station requires-space.
Less
More
Medium
Any of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: More space is required for the outdoor, subutatione Protection devices are required to be installed for the protection against lighting surges.
3733. Where severe synchronising swing occur, the relay employed is
Impedance relay
Mho relay
Reactance relay
Induction relay
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: Mhe relay can protect from power swing better than impedance relay and has the directional property which 1 is essential in transmission lines.
3735. Admittance relay-
Non-directional relay
Directional relay
Differential relay
None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A mo relay is a high-speed relay and is also known as the infmittance relay. In this relay operating torque is obtained by the voli-amperes element and the controlling element is developed due to the voltage element. It means a mho relay is a sobage controlled directional relics.
3736. The main function of a fuse is to-
Protect the line
Open the circuit
Prevent excessive currents
None of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: The main function of the fuse is to provide over curren protection of either the load of source circuit and prevent excessive currents.
3738. A circuit breaker is essentially-
an automatic switch
a manual switch
a high-lightning arrester
none of the above
ব্যাখ্যা: ব্যাখ্যা: A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by excess current from an overload or short circuit.
3740. In sheet metal blanking, shear is provided on punches and dies so that--
press load is reduced
good cut edge in obtained
warping of sheet is minimized
cut blanks are straight
