Answer all questions below and test your knowledge.

  1. 1

    A step‑up transformer has 120 turns on the primary winding and 480 turns on the secondary. If the primary is connected to a 240 V source, what is the secondary voltage?

    Question 1
  2. 2

    In a balanced three‑phase Y‑connected load drawing 10 A line current at 400 V line‑to‑line, what is the total real power consumed assuming a power factor of 0.8 lagging?

    Question 2
  3. 3

    A feeder protected by a circuit breaker is rated for 125 A continuous load. According to NEC, what is the maximum allowable continuous load current?

    Question 3
  4. 4

    A 10 kV substation has a source impedance of 5.8 Ω per phase. If a bolted three‑phase fault occurs at the bus, what is the initial symmetrical fault current per phase?

    Question 4
  5. 5

    For a 50 Hz AC circuit, a time‑overcurrent relay is set to operate at 1.5 times the rated current with a time delay of 0.2 s. If the fault current is 3 times rated, how long will the relay wait before tripping?

    Question 5
  6. 6

    A non‑linear load injects 5 % total harmonic distortion (THD) into a 120 V RMS supply. What is the RMS value of the fundamental component?

    Question 6
  7. 7

    A 2‑km copper transmission line has a resistance of 0.075 Ω per km per phase. If it carries 200 A per phase at 33 kV line‑to‑line, what is the total I²R loss for the three phases?
