This set of Tough Power Systems Questions and Answers focuses on “Switchgear and Protection – 4”.

1. An isolated generator connected to a turbine with its continuous maximum power of 20 MW, 50 Hz. Generator connected with two loads of 8 MW, each operate at 50 Hz.. Generator has 5% droop characteristic. If an additional load of 6 MW is added then the change in the frequency will be ____________
a) 0.25
b) 0.75
c) 0.5
d) 1
View Answer

Answer: a
The change in the frequency will be 0.25 if an additional load of 6 MW is added

2. For the given system the Ybus matrix is show below.
Find the Ybus matrix in given diagram
For the given system the Ybus matrix is -(1/5j) = 0.2j; Y13=0
d) None of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Y11=j2+(1/5j) = 1.8j
Y12=-(1/5j) = 0.2j; Y13=0
Hence option ‘a’ is most applicable.

4. If all the sequence voltages at the fault point in a power system are equal, then fault is __________
a) LLG fault
b) LG fault
c) Three phase to ground fault
d) Line to Line fault
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: It is LLG fault.

5. The below mentioned graph is a recorded data of the voltage fluctuation of the network, then it can be concluded that these faults are __________
The graph is recorded data of voltage fluctuation then concluded that faults are L-G
a) L-G
b) A three phase motor short
c) Feeder fault
d) Any of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The sudden dip is the LG fault in the graph as the dips are not very large and the system is maintaining its stability.

6. The inertia constant of two groups of machines which do not swing together are 4 and 20 MJ/MVA, the equivalent inertia constant of the system is _________
a) 2.85
b) 14
c) 6
d) 12
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: For the incoherent system, the equivalent inertia = H1H2/(H1+H2).

8. The three phase line is working at 50 Hz with conductors rearranged as shown. The Cph of TL at 132 kV is ___________
Find the Cph of TL at 132 kV for three phase line at 50 Hz with conductors
a) 8.75*10-9
b) 8.75*10-12
c) 26.2*10-12
d) 26.2*10-9
View Answer

Answer: a
The Cph of TL at 132 kV is 8.75*10-9 for three phase line at 50 Hz with conductors

9. For a 100 MVA, 11 kV three phase Alternator observes a three phase fault at terminals of it. If the fault current is 2000 A, the pu value of positive sequence reactance ______
a) 2.62
b) 0.46
c) 1.31
d) 0.92
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: PU fault current = 2000/5248.63 = 0.381 pu
0.381 = 1/X
X= 1/0.381 =2.62 pu.

10. A lossless TL having SIL of 3000 MW is provided with uniform distributed series capacitance compensation of 25% and shunt compensation of 30% then the SIL of compensated TL will be _______________
a) 3949.9
b) 3289
c) 2784.9
d) 2877.6
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: SIL=(V2 )/Z
SIL α 1/Z
Zcomp = Zs√((1-kse)/((1+ksh)(1-Klsh)))
Kse = 0.25; Klsh = 0; Kcsh = 0.3,
Zcomp =0.7595
SILcomp = 0.7595*3000 = 3949.96 MVA.

11. A lossless TL having SIL of 3000 MW is provided with uniform distributed series capacitance compensation of 25% and shunt compensation of 30% then the compensated impedance of TL will be(in pu) ____________
a) 0.7595
b) 2.88
c) 0.647
d) 3.27
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: SIL=(V2)/Z
SIL α 1/Z
Zcomp = Zs√((1-kse)/((1+ksh)(1-Klsh)))
Kse = 0.25; Klsh = 0; Kcsh = 0.3,
Zcomp =0.7595.
