No. Question Ans. Unit


The auto-reclosing feature will improve
a) stability of the system.
1. b) service continuity of the system. (b) 5
c) sensitivity of the system.
d) none of these.
What are the dis-advantages of the Over-reach Transfer Tripping scheme?
a) High-speed tripping is dependent on the pilot channel, and failure of this
channel can prevent fault isolation.
b) Difficulty in sending a signal using Power Line Carrier (PLC) in case of
2. a fault. (c) 5
c) High-speed tripping is dependent on the pilot channel, and failure of
this channel can prevent fault isolation and Difficulty in sending a
signal using Power Line Carrier (PLC) in case of a fault.
d) none of these.
In a phase comparison scheme, what is the phase difference between
currents at the two ends of a line during normal or out-of-zone (external)
fault conditions and in case of in-zone (internal) fault conditions?
a) 0⁰ during normal/out-of-zone conditions and 90⁰ during in-zone
conditions.
3. b) 90⁰ during normal/out-of-zone conditions and 180⁰ during in-zone (c) 5
conditions.
c) 0⁰ during normal/out-of-zone conditions and 180⁰ during in-zone
conditions.
d) 180⁰ during normal/out-of-zone conditions and 0⁰ during in-zone
conditions.
The rated current of a three phase, 33 kV oil circuit breaker is 1100 A. If its
symmetrical breaking capacity is 2500 MVA, then its making capacity is
a) 5000 MVA
4. (d) 5
b) 5100 MVA
c) 4800 MVA
d) 6375 MVA
Ans: 6375 MVA
Solution: -
Making capacity = 2.55  Symmetrical breaking capacity  2.55  2500 MVA=6375 MVA
In a high voltage system, what is the typical dead time range obtained for
220 kV and 400 kV voltage level?

c) 0.3-0.4 s
d) 0.4-0.5 s
Which of the following are limitations of the wire pilot relaying scheme?
i. It can be applied only to short transmission lines due to high
installation costs.
ii. Its sensitivity is reduced by the charging current between the pilot
wires.
iii. Special tuning is required to optimize signal transmission.
iv. It suffers from induced voltage problems from parallel power
transmission lines.
6. v. Differences in ground potentials between the two ends cause (d) 5
connection problems in the metallic link.
a) (i), (ii), and (iii) only
b) (i), (iii), and (v) only
c) (ii), (iv), and (v) only
d) all of these
Single busbar arrangement can be used for
a) Small and medium-sized substations where shutdowns can be permitted.
7. b) large sub-stations. (a) 5
c) both (a) and (b).

In an electrical protection scheme, which device should operate first to clear
transient faults, and what is the sequence of operations if the fault is
permanent?
a) Fuse should operate first, and if the fault is permanent, the recloser
should then operate.
8. (b) 5
b) Recloser should operate first to clear transient faults, and if the fault is
permanent, the fuse can blow.
c) Both fuse and recloser should operate simultaneously for any fault.
d) Recloser should operate first and stay in the lookout condition, then fuse
should blow if the fault persists.
The advantage of double bus arrangement over single bus arrangement is its
9. a) lower cost. (b) 5

b) better reliability and flexibility.


c) capability to have a complete shutdown during an occurrence of a fault
on a bus.
d) requirement in the form of a simple protection scheme.
