12 Interview questions

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. What is the basic equation of a transformer?
Ans. 

The basic equation of a transformer is V1/V2 = N1/N2.

  • The equation relates the voltage ratio to the turns ratio of the transformer.

  • V1 is the primary voltage, V2 is the secondary voltage, N1 is the number of turns in the primary coil, and N2 is the number of turns in the secondary coil.

  • The equation is used to calculate the output voltage of a transformer given the input voltage and turns ratio.

  • It is also used to det...

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. How would you explain the concept of a generator to someone with no technical background?
Ans. 

A generator is a machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

  • Generators are used to produce electricity in power plants.

  • They work by rotating a coil of wire inside a magnetic field.

  • This movement creates an electrical current that can be used to power homes and businesses.

  • Generators can also be used as backup power sources during blackouts or emergencies.

  • Think of a generator like a bicycle dynamo...

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. Why do we use starting methods to start induction motors and explain them?
Ans. 

Starting methods are used to start induction motors. They provide the necessary starting torque and prevent damage to the motor.

  • Induction motors require a high starting current to generate the necessary torque to start rotating.

  • Starting methods include direct-on-line, star-delta, soft starters, and variable frequency drives.

  • Direct-on-line is the simplest and most common method, but can cause a high inrush current ...

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. Can we start induction motors of higher ratings directly online? Justify your answer.
Ans. 

Yes, but it depends on the motor's starting current and the capacity of the power supply.

  • Direct online starting is suitable for motors with low starting current and when the power supply can handle the high inrush current.

  • For higher rated motors, it is recommended to use soft starters or variable frequency drives to reduce the starting current and prevent damage to the motor and power supply.

  • Examples of motors tha...

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. Is a transformer a machine?
Ans. 

Yes, a transformer is a machine that is used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another.

  • Transformers are used in power stations to step up or step down the voltage of electricity.

  • They are also used in electronic devices to convert AC voltage to DC voltage.

  • Transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

  • They consist of two coils of wire wrapped around a magnetic core.

  • Water can cause corrosion or damage to certain materials

  • Alternative substances may be more effective or efficient for the intended purpose

A Technical Engineer was asked
Q. What is the function of silica gel in a transformer?
Ans. 

Silica gel is used as a drying agent in transformers to prevent moisture buildup.

  • Silica gel absorbs moisture from the air and prevents it from entering the transformer.

  • Moisture buildup can cause insulation failure and reduce the lifespan of the transformer.

  • Silica gel is often used in conjunction with a breather to maintain a dry environment inside the transformer.

  • Regular maintenance and replacement of the silica g...

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - On Aug 17,2019..I attended an interview for the post of Senior Production Engineer in SRF,Dahej,Gujarat.I am fortunate enough that I have got very similar process experience that what SRF is manufacturing.Being a professional chemical engineer for 7 years in Hindustan Fluorocarbons Ltd,I answered almost all the questions for what the interview panel had asked me.Infact I prepared for more Monomer plant questions but they confined to R22 plant only.Then later asked about my family background and raised concerns about my relocation to gujarat for the reason being that my wife works in Infosys,Hyderabad.My wife has the facility to work from home hence I assured them of my relocation to Gujarat if given the opportunity.But HR Divya Chauhan has put it ON HOLD for the same reason.Thanks for their wonderful hospitality and flight charges reimbursement.Definitely one day I will join in SRF and explore myself to the better challenges.
