Q2. What if battery polarity is inverse with respect to battery charger?
Ans. 
If battery polarity is inverse with respect to battery charger, it can lead to damage or malfunction.
• Inverse polarity can cause short circuits or overheating.

• It can damage the battery, charger, or both.

• Reverse polarity protection circuits can prevent damage.

• Always double-check the polarity before connecting the battery to the charger.

Q7. What is the process of hipot in busbar, breakers, cables and trafo?
Ans. 
Hipot testing is a process used to verify the insulation integrity of busbars, breakers, cables, and transformers.
• Hipot testing involves applying a high voltage to the component being tested.

• The purpose is to check for any insulation breakdown or leakage current.

• For busbars and cables, the test is typically performed between the conductor and the ground.

• For breakers and transformers, the test is performed between diffe...read more

Q9. Where is tap changer in a transfermer located and why?If the voltage output in secondary decreases what will be location of tap changer?
Ans. 
Tap changer in a transformer is located on the high voltage winding side to regulate the voltage output.
• Tap changer is typically located on the high voltage winding side of a transformer.

• It is used to adjust the turns ratio and regulate the voltage output.

• If the voltage output in the secondary decreases, the tap changer will be moved to a higher tap position to increase the voltage.
