1.What deals power-system protection ?
Ans. Power-system protection is a branch of electrical power engineering that deals with the protection of electrical power systems.
2.A good electric power system should ensure that ?
Ans. A good electric power system should ensure the availability of electrical power without any interruption to every load connected to it.
3.Power protection systems limit ?
Ans. Power protection systems limit the damage at the fault location and prevents the effects of the fault spreading into the system.
4.What are the nature of faults ?
Ans. The nature of fault simply implies any abnormal condition which causes a reduction in the basic insulation strength between phase conductors, between phase conductor and earth or any earth screen surrounding the conductors.
5.Voltage breakdown due to ?
Ans. Voltage breakdown could be due to normal voltage or abnomal voltage.
6.Causes of faults could be due to ?
Ans. Causes of faults could be due to pollution, ageing effect or voltage surges.
7. Faults are divided into how many ?
Ans. Faults are divided into three verticals based on their type Current,Voltage and Frequency
8.What are the essential qualities of protection ?
Ans. Speed, Selectivity, Sensitivity, Reliability, Simplicity and Economy are the essential qualities of protection.
9.How many methods to discriminating faults ?
Ans. There are two methods of discriminating faults as per the location of the fault and as per the type of fault.
10.How many important components of protection ?
Ans. There are five important components of protection.
They are: Current Transformer (CT), Voltage Transformers, Circuit Breaker (CB), Tripping and Auxiliary Supplies and Relays.
11.Functions of Current transformers ?
Ans.
- Reduce power system current to lower value for measurement.
- Insulate secondary circuits from the primary.
- Permit the use of standard current ratings for secondary equipment.
