(b) Short circuit test
(c) Both SC and OC test
(d) None of the above

Q2. 100 % string efficiency means

(b) 30-40 %
(c) 45-55 %
(d) 60-70 %

(b) High velocity and high pressure
(c) Low velocity and high pressure
(d) High velocity and low pressure

(a) 40-50 meters
(b) 50-80 meters
(c) 80-100 meters
(d) 100-300 meters

Q6. Voltage regulation due to the Ferranti effect may be:
(a) Zero
(b) Positive
(c) Negative
(d) All of the above

SOLUTIONS

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. For determining shunt branch elements (R_c,x_m), we perform OC test at rated voltage.

S2. Ans.(c)
Sol. Due to formation of stray capacitance, unequal potential distribution occurs across discs which is expressed in terms of string efficiency.
If the string efficiency is 100 % then it means that equal potential difference occurs across each insulator disc.

S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. Efficiency of a normal thermal power station≃ 30-40 %.

S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Due to low velocity and pressure employed in SF_6 CBs, current chopping is prevented and capacitive currents are interrupted without restriking.

S5. Ans.(c)
Sol. RCC poles: span=80-100 meters
