High Voltage Engineering Interview Question With Answer

Hello Friends. In last post we shared a lot of mcq on high voltage
engg. Now we are going to share interview question on high voltage
engg. In this post, breakdown in gases, liquids and solids is mostly
discussed. Lets start and enjoy interview question of high voltage
engineering.

Q.1 Mention the types of insulating materials which is used in high
voltage engineering?
Ans - Insulating materials are four types.
A. Solids
B. Liquids
C. Gases
D. Vacuun

Q.2 What are the salient properties of usual metals ?
Ans: These are:
A. Specific resistivity in ohm meter.
B. Temperature resistance coefficient.
C. Specific Gravity.
D. Tensile strength when used in overhead line.

Q.3 What are the usual materials for conductors used in high voltage
equipment and transmission lines?
Ans- Conductors are mostly fabricated from metals. Depending on the
equipment the following metals are found in high voltage work, gold,
silver, copper, aluminium, tin, lead, iron, nickel, chromium, and
others.

Q.4 What are the physical and electrical properties of important solid
insulations suitable for high voltage work?
Ans- The three important properties to look in solid insulation are
a. Dielectric strength which denotes kv/cm or kv/mm which the
insulation can withstand and which a designer will use based on
experience.
b. Dielectric constant.
c. Loss angle called delta which denotes the heating losss in the
insulation under the high voltage. The usual form in which this loss
is denoted by tan delta.

    For many job candidates, preparing for and attending interviews is quite stressful. Yes, merely having domain-specific expertise will not help you ace an interview. Aptitude, logical thinking abilities, and numeric aptitude are fundamental qualities that are significant for the software business and many other areas. The distinction between service-based and product-based software enterprises was very effectively explained here. Thank you for providing such important advice on how to ace an interview.

Practical Commutation

The e.m.f. induced in each coil of armature is alternating in nature. If load is connected, the current flowing will also be alternating. But the flow of current in a d.c. generator must be undirectional. This can be achieved by the use of commutator. When the armature conductors are under the influence of one pole they carry current in one direction whereas the current is reversed when the conductors are under the influence of other pole. This reversal of current takes place along the magnetic neutral axis. Fig. 1 Note : The reversal of current is likely to take place in short interval when a coil is short circuited by a brush so that transfer of current from one direction to other is carried out without any sparking. This process is called commutation.        Thus a process by which current in the short circuited coil is reversed while it crosses the MNA is called commutation. The time during which the coil remains short circuited is known as...

Demagnetising and Cross Magnetizing Conductors

The conductors which are responsible for producing demagnetizing and distortion effects are shown in the Fig.1. Fig. 1        The brushes are lying along the new position of MNA which is at angle θ  from GNA. The conductors in the region AOC = BOD = 2θ  at the top and bottom of the armature are carrying current in such a direction as to send the flux in armature from right to left. Thus these conductors are in direct opposition to main field and called demagnetizing armature conductors.         The remaining armature conductors which are lying in the region AOD and BOC carry current in such a direction as to send the flux pointing vertically downwards i.e. at right angles to the main field flux. Hence these conductors are called cross magnetizing armature conductors which will cause distortion in main field flux.        These conductors are shown in the Fig. 2 Fig. 2  ...

Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control of dc motor

Speed Control of D.C. Shunt Motor (Part2)  2. Armature Voltage Control Method or Rheostatic Control        The speed is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the armature. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage across the armature can be controlled by adding a variable resistance in series with the armature as shown in the Fig. 1. Fig. 1 Rheostat control of shunt motor        The field winding is excited by the normal voltage hence I sh is rated and constant in this method. Initially the reheostat position is minimum and rated voltage gets applied across the armature. So speed is also rated. For a given load, armature current is fixed. So when extra resistance is added in the armature circuit, I a remains same and there is voltage drop across the resistance added ( I a R). Hence voltage across the armature decreases, decreasing the speed below normal value. By varyi...
