SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. Hot wire instruments works on the heating effect of the current. The length of the wire increases because of heating effect of the current flowing through it. It is used for measurement of both ac and dc.

S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. Power transfer capability of a power system can be improved by using series compensations and parallel transmission lines.
As, P=EV/X sinδ.
So, by series compensations X can be minimized and power transfer capability will be increased.

S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. Critical disruptive voltage: – it is the minimum phase neutral voltage at which the corona occurs in power transmission line.
g_o=V_c/(r loge e d/r)
g_o=Potential gradient at conductor
V_C=critical disruptive voltage
VC=go r log⁡e d/r)
go=30kv\/cm(max)@=21.2kv\/cm(rms) )]→at 76 cm of Hg and 25°C

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Ferranti effect: – Receiving end voltage (V_R) > Sending end voltage (V_S) i.e., V_R > V_S and this is due to no-load or light load condition.
Ferranti effect can be neutralized by using shunt reactor.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. for lower slip values, torque in an induction motor is directly proportional to it.
For lower slip values, T ⍺ SLIP(S)
For higher slip values, T ⍺1/SLIP.

S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Infinity
