GROUP- A

(Multiple choice type questions)

1. Choose the correct alternatives from any ten of the followings: 10×2 = 20

i) Zero sequence component in 3-phase voltage of delta connected system is

(a) Line voltage

(b) Zero
(c) Line voltage*√ 3
(d) Line voltage/√ 3

ii) Zero-sequence currents can flow from a line to a transformer bank if the windings
are
(a) grounded star/ delta (b) delta / star
(c) Star/ grounded star (d) delta / delta

iii) When a line to ground fault occurs, the current in the faulted phase is 100A. The
zero sequence current in this case will be
(a) Zero (b) 33.3 A (c) 66.6 A (d) 100 A

iv) Zero sequence fault current is absent when the fault is

a) single line to ground fault b) line to line fault

c) double line to ground fault d) none of these.

v) In the solution of Load Flow equation , the Newton –Raphson (NR) Method is
superior to the Gauss-Seidal(GS) Method, because the
a) time taken to perform one iteration in NR method is less when compared to
the time taken in the GS method
b) Number of iteration required in the NR method is more when compared to
that in GS method.
c) Number of iteration required is not independent of the size of the system in
the NR method.
d) Convergence characteristic of the NR method are not affected by the selection
of slack bus
v) For the transformer connection shown below

The correct zero-sequence equivalent network is

(a) (b)

(c) (d)

GROUP- B

(Short answer type questions)

2. A double line-to-ground fault occurs on phase b and c of an unloaded generator,

derive a sequence- network representation of this condition and determine the fault
current. 10
 GROUP- C

(Long answer type questions)

Answer any one of the following. 1×20= 20

3. a) What are the advantages of using Newton Raphson method over Gauss Seidel
method for solving load flow problem? 5

b) Determine the values of symmetrical components of a system of currents I R= 0

+ j120 A, IY= 50 – j100 A and IB= -100 – j50 A. Phase sequence is RYB. 6

c) A 25 MVA, 11 kv generator has a X0"= 0.2 pu. Its negative and zero sequence
reactances are respectively 0.3 and 0.1 pu. The neutral of the generator is solidly
grounded. Determine the sub-transient current in the generator and the line-to-line
voltages for sub-transient conditions when an LG fault occurs at the generator
terminals. Assume that before the occurrence of the fault, the generator is
operating at no load at rated voltage. Ignore resistances. 9
