When the 3-phase system is not grounded and if Single Line to Ground fault occurs, the voltage of the other two healthy phases will

A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains unaffected
D. none of the above

Answer: Option A

If The line to ground voltage is V then line to line voltage will be √ 3 times V. Now if one line is grounded due to ground fault. Then voltage between this line and faulted line becomes double the voltage between line to ground. I. E from line to ground and from ground to faulted phase voltage will be added

Generally grounding is provided for

A. only for the safety of the equipment
B. only for the safety of the operating personnel
C. both (A) and (B)
D. none of the above

Answer: Option C

Ground resistance should be designed such that

A. grounding resistance should be as low as possible
B. grounding resistance should be as high as possible
C. grounding resistance should be always zero

Factors on which soil resistance depends

A. depth of the electrode
B. moisture
C. Nacl

Average resistance of human body is

A. 500 ohms
B. 1000 ohms
C. 1500 ohms
D. 2000 ohms

Answer: Option B

about 10,000 ohms
Human resistance is about 10,000 ohms on the high side and as little as 1,000 ohms if the person is wet. Remember, ohms is the unit of measure of a material's resistance or impedance to current flow.

Overhead system can be designed for operation up to

A. 11 kV
B. 33 kV
C. 66 kV
D. 400 kV

Answer: Option D

The underground system cannot be operated above 66 kV because of insulation difficulties but overhead system can be designed for operation up to 400 kV or higher even.
