In an electric power system, switchgear is the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to clear faults downstream. This type of equipment is directly linked to the reliability of the electricity supply.
S3. (d)
Solution: The insulating materials used in cables should have the following properties:
- High insulation resistance to avoid leakage current.
- High dielectric strength to avoid electrical breakdown of the cable.
- High mechanical strength to withstand the mechanical handling of cables.
- Non-hygroscopic i.e., it should not absorb moisture from air or soil. The moisture tends to decrease the insulation resistance and hastens the breakdown of the cable. In case the insulating material is hygroscopic, it must be enclosed in a waterproof covering like lead sheath.
- Non-inflammable.
- Low cost so as to make the underground system a viable proposition.
- Unaffected by acids and alkalis to avoid any chemical action
S4. (a)
Solution:
Cables generally used beyond 66 kV are oil filled.
S5. (a)
Reluctivity is reciprocal of permeability.
S6. (c)
Low reluctance
; As increases Reluctance decreases.
S7. (b)
Tesla is the unit of magnetic flux density. (1 tesla = 1 wb/sq.m)
S8. (a)
Transformer works on the principle of Faraday’s law of electromagnetic inductions.
S9. (d)
Magnetic flux inside and outside surface of an exciting coil is same.
S10. (b)
Relation between torque and supply voltage of an induction motor
T V²
