SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. The high voltage dc links may be classified into:
1. Monopolar Link: monopolar link has only one conductor and return path is provided by permanent earth or sea.
2. Bipolar Link: This is most widely used dc link for overhead long distance HVDC transmission systems and also for back-to-back HVDC system. This link has two conductors— one operating with positive polarity and the other with negative polarity with respect to the earthed tower structure.
3. Homopolar Link: A homopolar link has two or more conductors having the same polarity.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. A dc line carries more power as compared to ac line.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. C_eq=C_1+C_2
= 30μF + 20μF
= 50 μF
S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Error = 100 mA ×(±2)/100= ±2mA
% Error = (±2mA)/50mA×100= ±4%
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Each field rotates at synchronous speed. So, they are stationary w.r.t each other.
S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. ACSR stands for aluminium conductor steel reinforced and steel is used for increasing the tensile strength.
