1. Coincidence factor is reciprocal of ___________
a) average load
b) demand factor
c) capacity factor
d) diversity factor
Explanation: Coincidence factor is the ratio of total maximum demand to the sum of individual maximum demands which is the reciprocal of diversity factor.
2. Which of the following is called as cold reserve?
a) Reserve capacity available but not ready for use
b) Reserve capacity available and ready for use
c) Generating capacity connected to bus and ready to take load
d) Capacity in service in excess of peak load
Explanation: Cold reserve is the generating capacity which is available for service but not normally ready for immediate loading. Reserved capacity available and ready to use are called hot reserve.
3. A 500 MW, 21 kV, 50 Hz three phase two pole alternator has 0.8 lagging p.f. with moment of inertia of 27.5×103 kgm-2. The inertia constant H will be _______ MJ/MVA.

a) 1.732
b) 3
c) 1.2
d) 0.33
Explanation: For maximum power transfer, X=√3 R
3=√3 R

5. At a 33kV 50 Hz to a bus a load of 35 MW is connected. To improve the power factor to unity a synchronous phase modifier is connected taking 5 MW. If the SPM is represented as delta connected impedance, where in each phase we have capacitor connected parallel to resistance forming RC parallel network, then the value of this resistance is ___________
a) 653.4 Ω
b) 753.6 Ω
c) 280.4 Ω
d) 682 Ω
Explanation:Reactive power fed by SPM = 35tan36.87 = 26.25 MVAR
Active power consumed by prime mover = 5 MW
5*106 = 3V2/R
R=3(33×1000)2/(5*106) = 653.4 Ω.
6. At a 33kV 50 Hz to a bus a load of 35 MW is connected. To improve the power factor to unity a synchronous phase modifier is connected taking 5 MW. If the SPM is represented as delta connected impedance, where in each phase we have capacitor connected parallel to resistance forming RC parallel network, then the value of this capacitance is __________
a) 25.57 μF
b) 76.2 μF
c) 32.2 μF
d) 24 μF
Explanation: Q=3V2Cω
C= 25.57 μF.
7. If the flux linkages are varied sinusoid with current, then what can be concluded about the inductance?
a) Constant
b) Varying with the current
c) Linearly varying
d) Exponential change
Explanation:Inductance = flux linkages/current.
8. The principle behind the influence of the power lines on the telephone lines is __________
a) Faraday’s laws
b) Mutual inductance
c) Self inductance
d) All of the mentioned

b) 2 *10-7 H/m
c) 0.5 *10-7 ln(r) H/m
d) 2 *10-6 H/m
Explanation: λint = I/2 x 10-7 Wb-T/m
L= λint/I = 0.5 *10-7 H/m.
