Interview Questionnaire 

7 Questions

  • Q1. Difference between single phase and three phase?
  • Ans. 

    Single phase and three phase are two types of electrical power distribution systems.

    • Single phase has one live conductor and one neutral conductor, while three phase has three live conductors and one neutral conductor.

    • Single phase is commonly used in residential and small commercial applications, while three phase is used in industrial and large commercial applications.

    • Single phase power supply is suitable for low power...

  • Q2. What is the difference between R phase, Y phase, B phase?
  • Ans. 

    R, Y, B phases are the three phases of AC power supply. They differ in their phase angle and voltage level.

    • R phase has a phase angle of 0 degrees and is usually connected to the red wire.

    • Y phase has a phase angle of 120 degrees and is usually connected to the yellow wire.

    • B phase has a phase angle of 240 degrees and is usually connected to the blue wire.

    • The voltage level of each phase is the same, but they are out of ph...

  • Q3. Voltage and current difference between Series and parallel of two or more batteries?
  • Ans. 

    In series, voltage adds up while current remains the same. In parallel, voltage remains the same while current adds up.

    • In series, batteries are connected end-to-end, positive to negative. In parallel, batteries are connected positive to positive and negative to negative.

    • Series connection increases voltage but does not increase current. Parallel connection increases current but does not increase voltage.

  • Q4. What are the steps to maintain the battery in periodically?
  • Ans. 

    Periodic maintenance of batteries is crucial for their longevity and optimal performance.

    • Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary

    • Inspect the battery case for any cracks or damage

    • Ensure that the battery is securely fastened in place

    • Check the electrolyte level and top up with distilled water if required

    • Test the battery voltage and recharge if necessary

  • Answered by AI
  • Q5. How to find in a faulty battery?
  • Ans. 

    A faulty battery can be identified by checking its voltage, capacity, and physical appearance.

    • Check the voltage of the battery using a multimeter

    • Test the capacity of the battery using a battery tester

    • Inspect the physical appearance of the battery for any signs of damage or leakage

    • Check the battery terminals for corrosion or loose connections

    • Compare the battery's performance to its specifications

  • Answered by AI
  • Q6. What is the difference FUSE, MCB, ELCB, RCCB?
  • Ans. 

    FUSE, MCB, ELCB, and RCCB are all electrical protection devices, but they differ in their functions and applications.

    • FUSE is a simple device that protects electrical circuits from overloading or short-circuiting by melting and breaking the circuit.

    • MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is an automatic switch that trips and cuts off the power supply when there is an overload or short-circuit.

    • ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker...
