Round 1 - Technical 

(2 Questions)

  • Q1. Basic of PLC & VFD with working principle.
  • Q2. Why soft starter use against star -delta starter for motor start & run .
  • Ans. 

    Soft starters are preferred over star-delta starters for motor start and run due to their ability to reduce inrush current and provide smoother acceleration.

    • Soft starters provide a gradual increase in voltage to the motor, reducing inrush current and mechanical stress on the motor.

    • Star-delta starters provide a sudden increase in voltage, resulting in high inrush current and mechanical stress on the motor.

    • Soft starters ...

  • Q4. What is a Buchholz relay and how does it work?
  • Ans. 

    A Buchholz relay is a protective device used in oil-filled transformers to detect and prevent internal faults.

    • Detects faults such as insulation breakdown or arcing within the transformer

    • Consists of a float switch connected to an alarm or trip circuit

    • When gas or oil accumulates due to a fault, the float rises and triggers the alarm or trip signal

    • Helps prevent major damage to the transformer by isolating it from the powe
