Electrical interview questions:Different between megger and contact resistance meter?

Answers:Megger used to measure cable resistance, conductor continuity, phase identification where as contact resistance meter used to measure low resistance like relays ,contactors. Electrical interview questions :When we connect the capacitor bank in series ? Answers:we connect capacitor bank in series to improve the voltage profile at the load end in transmission line there is considerable voltage drop along the transmission line due to impedance of the line. so in order to bring the voltage at the load terminals within its limits i.e (+ or - %6 )of the rated terminal voltage the capacitor bank is used in series Electrical interview questions:What is Diversity factor in electrical installations? Answers:Diversity factor is the ratio of the sum of the individual maximum demands of the various subdivisions of a system, or part of a system, to the maximum demand of the whole system, or part of the system, under consideration. Diversity factor is usually more than one. Electrical interview questions:Why field rheostat is kept in minimum position while armature rheostat at maximum position? Answers:In motors at the time of starting the armature resistance is introduced to reduce the high starting current and the field resistance is kept minimum to have high starting torque. Electrical interview questions:Why humming sound occurred in h HT transmission line? Answers:This sound is coming due to ionization (breakdown of air into charged particles) of air around transmission conductor. This effect is called as Corona effect, and it is considered as power loss. Electrical interview questions :what is rated speed? Answers:At the time of motor taking normal current (rated current)the speed of the motor is called rated speed. It is a speed at which any system take small current and give maximum efficiency. Electrical interview questions:What is different between grounding and earthings? Answers:Grounding means connecting the neutral point of the load to the ground to carry the residual current in case of unbalanced conditions through the neutral to the ground whereas earthing is done in an electric

equipment in order to protect he equipment in occurence of fault in the system. Electrical interview questions:Why should be the frequency is 50 hz only why not others like 45, 95 56 or anything , why should we maintain the frequency constant if so why it is only 50 ? Answers:We can have the frequency at any frequency you like, but than you must also make your own motors, transformers or any other equipment you want to use.We maintain the frequency at 50hz or 60hz cos the world maintains a standard at 50 /60hz and the equipments are are made to operate at these frequency.

What is electromagnetic induction? It is the phenomenon where an electromotive force is produced by introducing a changing magnetic field to a conductor or by moving a conductor in a magnetic field How does a diode work? Diodes are two-terminal semiconductors that allow energy flow in one direction only. What are the semiconductors used transistors? Germanium, silicon, silicon carbide, gallium arsenide What is CMOS? What are its advantages? CMOS is Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. Its advantages are increased noise immunity, decreased power consumption, less heat wastages. Do you have product design experience? This is a general question for most engineers where the interviewer tries to find some spots in your answer to question you back. It is to evaluate your knowledge in the design work done by you.

What is Meissner effect? It is the phenomenon of a magnetic field being expelled from a superconductor. Explain superconductivity with examples. Superconductivity is a phenomenon where the conducting material shows zero resistivity and exhibits meissner effect. Superconductivity is observed at very low temperatures. The temperature below which a material exhibits superconductivity is called the critical temperature. Cuprate superconductors have found to show the property up to 92K. Mercury based cuprate superconductors show the property up to 130K. How many joules is 1 electronvolt? 1 eV is 1.602176*(10^-19) joules How is a megawatt electrical different from a thermal megawatt? Megawatt electrical (MWe) indicates the electrical power generated, whereas thermal megawatt (MWt) indicates the thermal power generated. What is a vacuum circuit breaker? A vacuum circuit breaker is an automated switch that is used in protecting a circuit in case of overload. It interrupts current by using a vacuum container to create an arc and breaking it as a result of increase in dielectric strength. What is power factor? Power factor is the ratio of working power to apparent power. What s renewable energy? List some renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is the energy generated by using naturally restorable resources. Some renewable energy sources include solar, wind, tidal and geothermal energy. Biofuels produced from biomass is also classified as a renewable energy source. Explain the functioning of a solar cell. A solar cell converts energy from sunlight to electrical energy. The underlying principle is the photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are made using silicon crystals or silicon thin film wafers. Explain your team leading or team playing experience. Team leading or team playing experience is a major requirement in power generation plants. People as a part of a team in a power plant get major opportunities to learn in detail the operation and maintenance procedures. A team experience is a positive factor for recruiters.

Question

Difference between induction motor and synchronous motor? i Think Synchronous motors operate at synchronous speed (RPM=120f/p) while induction motors operate at less than synchronous speed (RPM=120f/p slip). Slip is nearly zero

at zero load torque and increases as load torque increases am a right pls guide & send Other Comments

Question Submitted By :: Kapil Sharma I also faced this Question!! Rank Answer Posted By Re: Difference between induction motor and synchronous motor? i Think Synchronous motors operate at synchronous speed (RPM=120f/p) while induction motors operate at less than synchronous speed (RPM=120f/p slip). Slip is nearly zero at zero load torque and increases as load torque increases am a right pls guide & send Other Comments Answer #1

synchronous can run in lag lead and unity power factor but induction motor run only in lagging power factor.
