6. The symmetrical components are used in fault analysis because of _______________
a) sequence of network do not have mutual coupling
b) number of equations is smaller
c) results are required in symmetrical components
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Due the non-coupling of the transmission system sequence network it is easy to implement symmetrical fault analysis.

10. A 2-wire ring distributor is 300m long and fed at 240V at ‘A’. At ‘B’, 150m away from A, a load of 120A is taken and at ‘C’, 100m away in opposite direction a load of 80A is taken. If the resistance per 100m of single conductor is 0.03Ω, then current in section AB feeder is ___________
a) 86.67 A
b) 48.76 A
c) 88 A
d) 98.4 A
View Answer
Explanation: Resistance per 100m of distributor = 2*0.03 = 0.06Ω
