MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 2)
In a test by Murray loop for ground fault on 600 m of cable having a resistance of 1.5 Ω/km, the faulty cable is looped with a sound cable of the same length and area of cross section. If the ratio of the other two arms of the testing network at balance is 3 : 1, find the distance of the fault from the testing end of cables.
Where, d is distance in m Q is value of variable resistor in ohm P is variable resistance in ohm Here Q/P = 1/3 is given, d = Q/(P + Q)*Loop length = 1/4*(2*600) = 300 m
Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
Buchholz relay is gas operated relay. It will operate when internal fault occurs in transformer. It is placed between tank to main conservator. It has two contacts trip and alarm. Use of Buchholz relay in distribution transformer is not economical.
