SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(d)
Sol. A thermal protection switch provides protection against Over-load.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Q=X_L/R=X_L/5=60
∴Inductive reactance=X_L=60×5=300 Ω

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Buchholz relay is used for protection against insulation failure of windings, core heating, fall of oil level etc.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. Strip earthing is used by transmission lines.

S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. (VR=(%R)cosϕ ±(%X)sinϕ)
+ → for lagging (inductive load)
– → for leading (capacitive load)
Maximum regulation at lagging pf
Minimum or zero or negative regulation at leading pf.

S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. A dynamometer wattmeter can be used for both AC & DC measurement.
