Diesel Generator: A Reliable Power Source
A diesel generator is a self-contained power generating unit that combines a diesel engine with an electric generator (often an alternator). It's a versatile and widely used source of electricity, particularly in situations where a reliable power supply is crucial.
How Diesel Generators Work
* Diesel Engine: The diesel engine, fueled by diesel fuel, acts as the prime mover. It converts the chemical energy of the fuel into mechanical energy through combustion.
* Electric Generator: The mechanical energy from the engine is transferred to the generator, which converts it into electrical energy. This electrical energy can then be used to power various appliances and equipment.
Applications of Diesel Generators
* Backup Power: Diesel generators are commonly used as backup power sources for homes, businesses, hospitals, and critical infrastructure during power outages.
* Remote Locations: In areas with limited or no access to the grid, diesel generators provide a reliable source of electricity for various applications.
* Construction Sites: Diesel generators power tools and equipment on construction sites, ensuring work can continue even in remote locations.
* Off-Grid Living: Individuals living off the grid often rely on diesel generators for their electricity needs.
* Data Centers: Diesel generators provide backup power to ensure the continuous operation of critical data centers.
Advantages of Diesel Generators
* Reliability: Diesel engines are known for their durability and reliability, making them suitable for demanding applications.
* Fuel Efficiency: Modern diesel engines offer excellent fuel efficiency, reducing operating costs.
* Wide Power Range: Diesel generators are available in a wide range of sizes and power capacities, catering to various needs.
* Easy Maintenance: Diesel generators are relatively easy to maintain and service.
Disadvantages of Diesel Generators
* Noise: Diesel generators can be noisy, which may be a concern in certain settings.

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Oct 2023. There were 2 interview rounds.
There are several types of transformers used in electrical engineering.
Power transformers
Distribution transformers
Instrument transformers
Auto transformers
Isolation transformers
Step-up transformers
Step-down transformers
The number of earthing required for commencing a transformer depends on the type and size of the transformer.
The number of earthing required for a transformer depends on its rating and the local electrical regulations.
In general, a single earthing electrode is sufficient for small transformers with ratings up to a few hundred kVA.
For larger transformers, multiple earthing electrodes may be required to ensure proper gro...
Silica gel is a desiccant commonly used to absorb moisture and prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Silica gel is a porous form of silicon dioxide.
It is often found in small packets or sachets.
It is used in various industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and food packaging.
Silica gel can absorb moisture up to 40% of its own weight.
It is non-toxic and chemically inert.
Common uses include preserving the freshne...
VCB stands for Vacuum Circuit Breaker. It is a type of electrical switchgear used for protecting electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits.
VCB uses vacuum as the arc quenching medium instead of oil or air.
It is installed in high voltage power systems, such as substations and power plants.
VCBs are commonly used in distribution networks, generator circuits, and transformer circuits.
They provide reliable and e...
The acceptable current for humans depends on various factors such as duration, frequency, and pathway.
The acceptable current for humans is typically below 1 mA for low-frequency currents.
For high-frequency currents, the acceptable current is lower, usually below 0.1 mA.
The duration of exposure also plays a significant role in determining the acceptable current.
The pathway of the current through the body, such as hand-t...
An alternator is an electrical machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.
An alternator is commonly used in vehicles to charge the battery and power the electrical system.
It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
Alternators produce alternating current (AC) which is then converted to direct current (DC) using rectifiers.
They consist of a rotor, stator, and diodes.
The rotor is driven ...
A CT transformer, also known as a current transformer, is an electrical device used to measure alternating current (AC) by stepping down the current to a lower value.
CT transformers are commonly used in power systems to measure high currents without directly connecting measuring instruments to the circuit.
They consist of a primary winding, which carries the current to be measured, and a secondary winding, which is conn...

Field test of bricks involves checking the physical properties and quality of bricks on-site.
Visual inspection for cracks, chips, and uniformity
Sound test by tapping the brick to check for a clear ringing sound
Water absorption test by immersing the brick in water to see if it absorbs water
Dimensional measurements to ensure uniform size and shape
Strength test by applying pressure to check for breakage
Lab test of bricks involves checking for dimensions, compressive strength, water absorption, efflorescence, and soundness.
Dimensions: Measure length, width, and height to ensure they meet standards.
Compressive strength: Test the ability of the brick to withstand pressure.
Water absorption: Determine the amount of water the brick can absorb.
Efflorescence: Check for white deposits on the surface due to soluble salts.
Sound...
Lab test of cement involves checking its physical and chemical properties to ensure quality and strength.
Lab tests include checking fineness, setting time, compressive strength, and chemical composition.
Fineness test determines the particle size of cement particles.
Setting time test measures the time taken for cement to set.
Compressive strength test evaluates the strength of cement mortar.
Chemical composition test chec...
Field test of cement involves checking its physical properties and quality to ensure it meets standards.
