MGVCL Exam Paper (30-07-2021 Shift 1)
Stability of power system can be improved by 1. Reducing voltage of transmission 2. Using parallel transmission lines 3. Using series compensators Which of the above statements are correct?
The methods often employed in practice to improve system stability are: 1. Increasing System Voltage 2. Reduction in Transfer Reactance 3. Using High Speed Circuit Breaker 4. Automatic Reclosing 5. Transient Stability 6. Turbine Fast Valving 7. Application of Braking Resistors 8. Single Pole Switching:
Class B trip curve: The MCB with class B trip characteristics trips instantaneously when the current flowing through it reaches between 3 to 5 times rated current. These MCBs are suitable for cable protection. Hence, For 16 A current Type B MCB disconnect fault at 3*16 = 48 A to 5*16 = 80 A.
The ratio of full load current to short circuit current = 1/5 Xsc = j/(1/5) External reactance required = j*((1/5) - 0.05)) = j*0.15 pu Full load current = (30*1000)/(√3*11) = 1574.6 A Per unit reactance = j*0.15 = (I*Xr)/V j*0.15 = (1574.6*Xb)/((11/√3)*1000)) = 0.60 ohm
