SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Generally from feeders, no tapping is taken to the consumer, so current loading in the feeder remains the same throughout the conductors. so, feeders are designed based on the current-carrying capacity.
NOTE: Feeders are the conductors which connect the substations or generating stations to the areas to be fed by these stations.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Conductors used in the high voltage transmission are stranded.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Superposition theorem is based on circuit linearity property and the opposite of Linearity is non-Linearity.

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Normally the insulation resistance is quite high and can be measured by an instrument called “megger” usually used for the measurement of high resistance.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. maximum efficiency in %=√((iron loss(P_i))/(full load cu-loss(P_cu)) )×100=√(900/1600) ×100=75 % of full-load

S6. Ans.(d)
Sol. For maximum efficiency, Copper loss (Pc) = Iron losses (Pi) = 1000 W
And P_cu (x)=x^2×P_cu (full-load)
∴P_(cu(half-load))= (1/2)^2 P_(cu(full-load))=1/4×1000=250 W
