Q1. *Why Transformer Rated In kVA, Not in KW? *What are transformer losses & their types?
Ans. 
Transformers are rated in kVA because it takes into account both active power (KW) and reactive power (KVAR). Transformer losses include copper losses and iron losses.
• Transformers are rated in kVA because they handle both active power (KW) and reactive power (KVAR).

• kVA rating considers the total power (apparent power) that the transformer can handle, including the power needed for magnetizing the core.

• Transformer losse...read more

Q2. *Mention what is the difference between generator and alternator? *Mention what are the different kind of cables used for transmissions?
Ans. 
Generator produces direct current while alternator produces alternating current. Different cables used for transmission include coaxial, twisted pair, and fiber optic cables.
• Generator produces direct current (DC) while alternator produces alternating current (AC)

• Generator uses slip rings and brushes for transmission while alternator uses a commutator

• Different cables used for transmission include coaxial, twisted pair,

Q3. Define the principle of motors?
Ans. 
Motors operate based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
• Motors work by creating a magnetic field through the flow of current in a coil of wire.

• This magnetic field interacts with a permanent magnet or another magnetic field, causing the coil to rotate.

• The rotation of the coil is then used to drive mechanical systems, such as fans, pumps, or conveyor belts.

Q1. How many layers in underground cable
Ans. 
Underground cables typically have multiple layers for insulation and protection.
• Underground cables usually have three layers: conductor, insulation, and protective sheath

• The conductor layer carries the electrical current

• The insulation layer prevents leakage of current and protects against environmental factors

• The protective sheath provides additional protection from moisture, chemicals, and physical damage

Q1. What is circuit braker
Ans. 
A circuit breaker is an automatic electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit.
• It is a safety device that automatically interrupts the flow of current in a circuit when it exceeds a safe level

• It is used to protect electrical equipment from damage due to overcurrent

• It can be reset after tripping, unlike a fuse which needs to be replaced

• It comes in different ...read more

Q1. Define the term Capacitance and Inductance?
Ans. 
Capacitance is the ability of a body to store an electric charge. Inductance is the ability of a coil to store energy in a magnetic field.
• Capacitance is measured in Farads (F)

• Capacitors are used to store energy in electronic circuits

• Inductance is measured in Henrys (H)

• Inductors are used in electronic circuits to store energy in a magnetic field

• Both capacitance and inductance are important in AC circuits
