3. Synchronizing motor leading power factor
a. Synchronic condenser
b. Universal motor
c. Relocating motor
Hint:
a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator) is a
DC-excited synchronous motor, whose shaft is not connected to anything but spins freely. Its purpose is
not to convert electric power to mechanical power or vice versa, but to adjust conditions on the electric
power transmission grid. Its field is controlled by a voltage regulator to either generate or absorb reactive
power as needed to adjust the grid's voltage, or to improve power factor. The power factor of a
synchronous motor is changed with a change in the excitation. When the excitation of the motor is
increased, the power factor changes from lagging to unity and then to a leading power factor. When over-
excited, the motor runs with leading power factor (and supplies vars to the grid) and when under-excited
with lagging power factor (and absorbs vars from the grid). In between, the power factor is unity.

29. How to change the power factor of a generator
a. increase the speed of the rotor
b. Increase field current
Hint:
An alternator is an electrical generator that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating
current. For reasons of cost and simplicity, most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature.
Occasionally, a linear alternator or a rotating armature with a stationary magnetic field is used. In principle, any AC
electrical generator can be called an alternator, but usually the term refers to small rotating machines driven by
automotive and other internal combustion engines.

4
A conductor moving relative to a magnetic field develops an electromotive force (EMF) in it (Faraday's Law). This EMF
reverses its polarity when it moves under magnetic poles of opposite polarity. Typically, a rotating magnet, called the
rotor turns within a stationary set of conductors wound in coils on an iron core, called the stator. The field cuts across
the conductors, generating an induced EMF (electromotive force), as the mechanical input causes the rotor to turn.
The rotating magnetic field induces an AC voltage in the stator windings. Since the currents in the stator windings vary
in step with the position of the rotor, an alternator is a synchronous generator.
The rotor's magnetic field may be produced by permanent magnets, or by a field coil electromagnet. Automotive
alternators use a rotor winding which allows control of the alternator's generated voltage by varying the current in
the rotor field winding. Permanent magnet machines avoid the loss due to magnetizing current in the rotor, but are
restricted in size, due to the cost of the magnet material. Since the permanent magnet field is constant, the terminal
voltage varies directly with the speed of the generator. Brushless AC generators are usually larger than those used in
automotive applications.
An automatic voltage control device controls the field current to keep output voltage constant. If the output voltage
from the stationary armature coils drops due to an increase in demand, more current is fed into the rotating field coils
through the voltage regulator (VR). This increases the magnetic field around the field coils which induces a greater
voltage in the armature coils. Thus, the output voltage is brought back up to its original value.
Alternators used in central power stations also control the field current to regulate reactive power and to help
stabilize the power system against the effects of momentary faults.
How to control power factor output of an alternator in power plant
We can control power factor in a power plant easily. In a power plant the alternator set is supplying power to the grid
independent of load. Thus, in this case there is no load connected to make the power factor lagging or leading, we are
left to control the power factor. Modern power plant control system has automatic system of changing the power
factor by just a command. But how this happens internally is fact to think about.
Say an alternator in a power plant is generating 8.5MW active power and 6.5 MVAr under .85 power factor.
The power factor is the ratio of two power active and reactive. Low power factor means reactive power is high & high
power factor means active power is high. Now say as per demand an operator wants to make the power factor low
say .80. The increase and decrease of power factor command is done in SCDA (Supervisory control and data
acquisition). But as an engineer we need to look-see the internal flow of incident happens when alternator is to control
the power factor. The basic concept of controlling the power factor is to control the ratio of active power to reactive
power.
How active power is controlled in power plant:
One thing only – control the fuel to or torque strength of prime mover! So if you like to increase the active power
increase the fuel to diesel engine or increase steam flow to turbine – increasing the torque, and to decrease the active
load or power do the reverse that is decrease the fuel to prime mover.
How reactive power is controlled in power plant:
One thing only – control the excitation power to rotor circuit! If you like to increase the MVAr or reactive power, then
increase the excitation current in the excitation system. And do decrease to do the reverse. The excitation current to
rotor creates magnetic flux. So, by controlling the strength of magnetic flux we are controlling the reactive power.
Thus, the operator when commands to control the active power and reactive power, the system itself automatically
controls the fuel to prime mover and excitation power to alternator

30. Breaking for induction motor

5
a. The generating capacity available to the system operator within a short interval of time to meet
demand in case a generator goes down or there is another disruption to the supply.
33. Spinning reserve means
a. Power can be produced but not connected to load.
34. which dc generator has poor voltage regulation
a. series
b. shunt
c. compound generators
Hint:
During On-load conditions its Differential Compounded DC generator that has the poorest voltage
regulation. In differential compound machine shunt and series field flux are subtracted and the net field
flux is reduced. When the generator is loaded, load current (or armature current) flows through the series
field windings creating magnetic flux that opposes the flux created by shunt field. This results in decrease
of induced emf and, therefore, in terminal voltage. In such generators the terminal voltage drops very
rapidly with the increase in load current and, therefore it is interesting to note that a short- circuit cannot
cause any damage to it.

a. unity
b. 0.8 leading
c. 0.6 leading
d. 0.6 lagging.
43. A capacitor start, capacitor run single phase induction motor is basically a
a. ac series motor
b. dc series motor
c. 2 phase induction motor
d. 3 phase induction motor.
Hint:
Single phase motor can't start by own because single phase can't generate rotating magnetic field or
starting torque. So single phase motor modified in two phase by introducing one more winding. Capacitor
introduced in the second winding to create two phase. This two phase winding will generate rotating
magnetic field and starting torque. Second winding will called starting winding which is introduced for
starting of motor.
44. The torque developed by a split phase motor is proportional to
(A) Sine of angle between lm and ls
(B) Cosine of angle between lm and Is
(C) Main winding current, Im
(D) Auxiliary winding current, Is
45. A capacitor start single phase induction motor is switched on the supply with its capacitor replaced by an
inductor of equivalent reactance value. It will
(A) not start
(B) start and run
(C) start and then stall
(D) none of the above.
46. The number of turns in the starting winding of a capacitor start motor as compared to that for split phase
motor is
(A) same
(B) more
(C) less
(D) none of the above.
Hint:
Capacitor-Start Induction Motor: a larger capacitor may be used to start a single phase induction motor
via the auxiliary winding if it is switched out by a centrifugal switch once the motor is up to speed.
Moreover, the auxiliary winding may be many more turns of heavier wire than used in a resistance split-
phase motor to mitigate excessive temperature rise. The result is that more starting torque is available for
heavy loads like air conditioning compressors.
47. In a split phase motor, the ratio of number of turns for starting winding to that for running winding is
(A) 2.0
(B) more than 1
(C) 1.0
(D) less than 1
Hint:
A split-phase motor has a secondary startup winding (auxiliary winding) that is 90 electrical degrees to the
main winding (running winding), always centered directly between the poles of the main winding and
connected to the main winding by a set of electrical contacts. The coils of this winding (startup winding)
are wound with fewer turns of smaller wire than the main winding (running winding), so it has a lower

7
inductance and higher resistance. The position of the winding creates a small phase shift between the flux
of the main winding and the flux of the starting winding, causing the rotor to rotate. When the speed of
the motor is sufficient to overcome the inertia of the load, the contacts are opened automatically by a
centrifugal switch or electric relay.
48. A single phase motor generally used for small air compressor is
(A) capacitor start capacitor run motor
(B) reluctance motor
(C) universal motor

(C) Universal motor
(D) No motor can give 5000 rpm.
53. Which motor is generally used for electric shavers
a) Reluctance motor
b) Shaded pole motor
c) Hysteresis motor
d) Universal motor
43. The starting capacitor of a single phase motor is
a) Electrolytic type
b) Ceramic type
c) Paper type
d) None of the above
Hint:
Start capacitors briefly increase motor starting torque and allow a motor to be cycled on and off rapidly.
A start capacitor stays in the circuit long enough to rapidly bring the motor up to a predetermined speed,
which is usually about 75% of the full speed, and is then taken out of the circuit, often by a centrifugal
switch that releases at that speed. Afterward the motor works more efficiently with a run capacitor. Start
capacitors are normally above 20 µF that is why we use always non-polarized aluminum electrolytic
capacitors with large capacitance.

(A) dc series motor
(B) dc shunt motor

(D) single phase induction motor.

176. Define Latency?
177. The term “Pipelining” is used to indicate
a. Latency (Delay)
b. Throughput (Speed)
c. Both
Hint:
Pipelining is an important technique used in several applications such as digital signal processing (DSP)
systems, microprocessors, etc. It originates from the idea of a water pipe with continuous water sent in
without waiting for the water in the pipe to come out. Accordingly, it results in speed enhancement for
the critical path in most DSP systems. For example, it can either increase the clock speed or reduce the
power consumption at the same speed in a DSP system.
Latency is a time interval between the stimulation and response. Applying too many pipelined functions
can lead to increased latency - that is, the time required for a single task to propagate through the full
pipe is prolonged.
throughput is the maximum rate of production or the maximum rate at which something can be
processed. Pipelining cannot decrease the processing time required for a single task. The advantage of
pipelining is that it increases the throughput of the system when processing a stream of tasks.

Segregation in concrete
Segregation in concrete is commonly thought as separation of some
size groups of aggregates (sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag,) from
cement mortar in isolated locations with corresponding deficiencies of
these materials in other locations. Segregation results in proportions
of the laid concrete being in variation to those as designed.
Segregation could result from internal factors such as concrete that is
not proportioned properly and not mixed adequately, or too workable
a mix. It also could result from external factors such as too much
vibration, improper transportation, placement, or adverse weather
conditions.

consideration involved is
(A) high starting torque
(B) low starting current
(C) speed control over limited range
(D) all of the above.
Hint:
The wound rotor induction motor is also called slip ring induction motor. For starting the slip ring inductor
motor, we can use rotor resistance starter. starting can be achieved at relative low currents by inserting
extra resistance in the rotor circuit during starting as well. This extra resistance not only increases the
starting torque but also reduces the starting current. But we can't use rotor resistance starter for squirrel
cage induction motor. The cage motor has very low starting torque. Whereas the slip ring motor has high
STARTING torque. We can't control the rotor speed of the cage rotor, but we can control the rotor speed
by slip ring motors.

(A) synchronous motor
(B) squirrel cage induction motor

(D)100kW.
204. The advantage of a synchronous motor in addition to its constant speed is
(A) high power factor
(B) better efficiency
(C) lower cost
(D) all of the above.
Hint:
Synchronous motors Advantages Vs Disadvantages:
Advantage: One of the major advantage of using synchronous motor is the ability to control the power
factor. An over excited synchronous motor can have leading power factor and can be operated in parallel
to induction motors and other lagging power factor loads thereby improving the system power factor. In
synchronous motor the speed remains constant irrespective of the loads. Synchronous motors usually
operate with higher efficiencies (more than 90%) especially in low speed and unity power factor
applications compared to induction motors.
Disadvantages: Synchronous motors requires dc excitation which must be supplied from external
sources. Synchronous motors are inherently not self starting motors and needs some arrangement for its
starting and synchronizing. The cost per kW output is generally higher than that of induction motors.
These motors cannot be used for variable speed applications as there is no possibility of speed
adjustment unless the incoming supply frequency is adjusted (Variable Frequency Drives) Synchronous
motors cannot be started on load. Its starting torque is zero.

Transformer
1. In a transformer
(a) All turns are equally insulated
(b) The end turns are more strongly insulated
(c) The end turns are closely wound
(d) The end turns are widely separated
Hint: to withstand the high voltage, drop due to line surge produced by the shunting capacitance of the end
turns. End turns produce shunt capacitance while circuit is made ON. Thus, to provide protection from line
surge produced by the shunting capacitance of the end turns and to withstand high voltage they are heavily
insulated.
2. Laminated insulations coated with varnish are normally used in the transformer
(a) To reduce reluctance of magnetic path
(b) To reduce the effect of eddy current

(a) The applied frequency increases
(b) The applied frequency decreases
(c) The applied voltage increases
(d) The applied voltage decreases
Hint:
Laminations, however, are designed according to the frequency range where the transformer is intended to
operate. That is because core loss -- the power wasted in the core (i.e., laminations) is a function of flux
density in the core, and that is tied to frequency and lamination thickness. Get the right lamination thickness,
and you will minimize core loss. Core loss shows up principally as heat, so not only is energy wasted by
improper lamination size, but you increase cooling requirements

(a) It is difficult to wind as one coil
b) It reduces voltage per coil
(c) It requires less insulation
(d) None of the above
Hint:
When the windings are divided to coils with less
number of turns, this will reduce the Vs voltage. This
is done to have different voltages (Vs1, VS2, …) for the
same transformer.

50
7. The size and construction of bushings in a transformer depend upon the

(b) Size of tank

Hint:
In electric power, a bushing is an insulated device that allows an electrical conductor to pass safely through
a grounded conducting barrier such as the case of a transformer. Bushings are typically made from porcelain.
All materials carrying an electric charge generate an electric field. When an energized conductor is near a
material at earth potential, it can form very high field strengths, especially where the field lines are forced to
curve sharply around the earthed material. The bushing controls the shape and strength of the field and
reduces the electrical stresses in the insulating material.

Hint:
V2= 0.9 V1
f2 = 0.9 f1
Ph1 = K f1
Ph2 = K f2 = K (0.9 f1)
𝑃ℎ1−𝑃ℎ2
Reduction = 𝑃ℎ1 = (K f1 – 0.9 f1) / K f1 = 0.1
Reduction % = 10 % ???
12. Open circuit test for transformer is used to calculate:

percentage change of eddy current losses will be
(a) 10%
(b) 20%
(c) 25%
(d) 21%
Hint:
V / f = Const.
V2= 1.1 V1
f2 = 1.1 f1

51
Pe1 = K f12
Pe2 = K f22 = K (1.1 f1)2 = K X 1.21 f12
𝑃𝑒1−𝑃𝑒2
Reduction = 𝑃𝑒1 = (K f12 – 1.21 K f12) / K f12 = -0.21
Reduction % = 21 %
14. A transformer has two 2,400 V primary coils and two 240 V coils. By proper connection of the windings, the

(b) 5
(c) 20

16. Neglecting resistance, at constant flux density, the power required per kilogram to magnetize the iron core of
a transformer is 0.8 W at 25 Hz and 2.04 W at 60 Hz. The power required per kilogram for 100 Hz is
(a) 3.8 W
(b) 3.63 W
(c) 3.4 W
(d) 5.2 W
17. Select the correct statement:

(a) 400 kVA
(b) 10,000 kVA
(c) 2,000 kVA
(d) Cannot be revised
Hint:
The voltage equation of a transformer is given by E = 4.44 × φmf N Volt.
Where, φm is the maximum flux in the core, f is the supply frequency, N is the number of turns in winding
of the transformer. Hence from the above equation, it is clear that the voltage is directly proportional to
frequency. Therefore, with decrease in frequency, the output voltage of the transformer decreases
proportionally. When 250 Hz transformer operated in 50 Hz the output voltage also becomes 50 / 250 or 1
/ 5 times hence VI rating of the transformer will become 1 / 5 times which is 2000 / 5 = 400 KVA.
22. The transformer which will have the largest size is

29. A power transformer is a constant
(a) Current device
(b) Voltage device
(c) Power device
(d) Main flux device
Hint:
Transformers: A Transformer is a static, alternating electromagnetic device that transfers electrical power
between two or more circuits using electromagnetic induction. It is a constant power device, constant flux
device and a constant frequency device.
Since transformer is a constant power device: Vp Ip = Vs Is As it is a constant flux device we get: IpNp= IsNs
where, Vp and Vs are voltage of the primary and secondary sides respectively Ip and Is are currents of
primary and secondary sides respectively Np and Ns are turns in the coils of primary and secondary sides
respectively Equating the above two equations we get: 𝐕𝐩 𝐕𝐬 = 𝐈𝐬 𝐕𝐩 = 𝐍𝐩 𝐍s
There are basically two types of Transformer available in our power system
1- Power transformer
2- Distribution transformer.
There is a thing about power transformer that a power transformer is either working on its rated capacity
or it will be turned off. So, we can say that if a transformer is supplying a constant power or rated power
we can consider that transformer as a constant power device.
On the other hand, we have distribution transformer which is connected to various loads these loads can
be industrial loads residential loads etc. Demand of the floats can vary time to time so the power supplied

53
by the secondaries of distribution transformer will also very. That is why we cannot say that a distribution
transformer is a constant power device.
30. The value of flux in the emf equation of a transformer is
(a) rms
(b) Average
(c) Maximum
(d) Integral wave cycle
31. The leakage flux in a transformer depends upon the value of
(a) Load current
(b) Supply frequency
(c) Mutual flux
(d) None of these
Hint:
In a transformer, the mutual flux i.e. the flux that links both primary coil and secondary coil, is a little less
than 100%. There is some flux which links only with the primary coil, but not with the secondary coil. This
is called primary leakage flux and it contributes to primary leakage reactance. Likewise, there is some flux
which links only with the secondary coil, but not with the primary coil. This is called secondary leakage flux
and it contributes to secondary leakage reactance. Both the leakage fluxes added together, amounts to
total leakage flux. Leakage flux is both undesirable and desirable. Undesirable, because it makes the voltage
regulation poor due to voltage drop in leakage reactances. Desirable, because it limits the short circuit
current. In certain special transformers, leakage reactance is purposely increased to limit output current.
But in general, it is kept low to achieve better regulation.
32. The voltage regulation of a transformer at full-load 0.8 power factor lag is 6 percent. Its voltage regulation at
full-load 0.8 power factor lead will be
(a) Negative
(b) 54%
(c) Positive
(d) Zero
33. The full-load efficiency of a transformer at 0.85 p.f. lag is 97 percent. Its efficiency at full load 0.85 power
factor lead will be
(a) 99%
(b) 96%
(c) 97%
(d) 98%
Hint:
The efficiency of transformer

Where cosθ2 is power factor. θ2 is positive when power factor is lagging and θ2 is negative when power
factor is leading. But in both cases the value of cosθ2(pf) is positive and same. If the efficiency of a
transformer at full load 0.8 p.f. lag is 90%, its efficiency at full load 0.8 lead will be 90 % too.
34. If a load on secondary side of a transformer increases, the current on the primary side
(a) Remains constant
(b) Increases
(c) Decreases
(d) None of these
35. If a sinusoidal exciting current is applied to a transformer, the mutual flux produced is
(a) Negative
(b) Sinusoidal
(c) Zero
(d) Flat top
Hint: The main reason behind this phenomenon is core saturation. Transformers are constrained in their
performance by the magnetic flux limitations of the core. Ferromagnetic materials cannot support infinite
magnetic flux densities: they tend to “saturate” at a certain level (dictated by the material and core
dimensions), meaning that further increases in magnetic field force (mmf) do not result in proportional
increases in magnetic field flux (Φ).

54
When a transformer’s primary winding is overloaded from excessive applied voltage, the core flux may
reach saturation levels during peak moments of the AC sine wave cycle. If this happens, the voltage induced
in the secondary winding will no longer match the wave-shape as the voltage powering the primary coil. In
other words, the overloaded transformer will distort the wave shape from primary to secondary windings,
creating harmonics in the secondary winding’s output. Harmonic content in AC power systems typically
causes problems.

36. To get sinusoidal flux in a transformer the mutual flux produced is


(a) Non-sinusoidal
(b) Sinusoidal
(c) Direct current
(d) Zero
37. A 220V, 150V bulb is connected in series with the primary of a 220/1,100 V, 50 Hz transformer. If the load on
the secondary side is disconnected, the brightness of the bulb will
(a) Decrease
(b) Increase
(c) Be unaffected
(d) Decrease to a very low value
38. The open circuit test of a transformer gives information about
(a) Core losses of the transformer
(b) Cu losses of the transformer
(c) Exciting current
(d) None of these
39. The short circuit test of a transformer gives the information of
(a) Cu losses of the transformer
(b) Core losses of the transformer
(c) Winding circuit impedance
(d) None of these
40. During testing of a transformer
(a) Both SC and OC tests are performed at rated current
(b) Both SC and OC tests are performed at rated voltage
(c) OC test is performed at rated voltage
(d) SC test is performed at rated current
Hint:
In OC test, transformer is operated at rated voltage and at rated frequency so the maximum will be the flux
in the core. Since the iron or core losses are at rated voltage, the power input is drawn to supply the iron
losses by the transformer under no load.
The SC test is conducted on HV side due to the two main reasons. The first one is, the SC test conducted by
applying rated current and the HV side rated current is much less than the LV side. Therefore, the rated
current is easily achieved at HV side (due to the low current value) as compared to the LV side.
41. All-day efficiency of a transformer is
(a) Equal to its power efficiency
(b) Less than its power efficiency
(c) More than its power efficiency
(d) None of these
Hint: What is the need of All Day Efficiency?

55
Some transformer efficiency cannot be judged by simple commercial efficiency as the load on certain
transformer fluctuate throughout the day. For example, the distribution transformers are energized for 24
hours, but they deliver very light loads for the major portion of the day, and they do not supply rated or
full load, and most of the time the distribution transformer has 50 to 75% load on it.
As we know, there are various losses in the transformer such as iron and copper loss. The iron loss takes
place in the core of the transformer. Thus, the iron or core loss occurs for the whole day in the distribution
transformer. The second type of loss known as copper loss takes place in the windings of the transformer
also known as the variable loss. It occurs only when the transformers are in the loaded condition.
Hence, the performance of such transformers cannot be judged by the commercial or ordinary efficiency,
but the efficiency is calculated or judged by All Day Efficiency also known as operational efficiency or energy
efficiency which is computed by energy consumed during 24 hours.
42. Routine efficiency of a transformer depends upon the value of
(a) Load current
(b) Supply frequency
(c) Power factor of load

(d) None of these
Hint:

48. The power in autotransformer is transferred through


(a) Inductive process
(b) Convection process
(c) Conduction process
(d) All of these
Hint:

56
An Auto-transformer is an electrical transformer with only one winding. In an autotransformer, portions of
the same winding act as both the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. The primary voltage is
applied across two of the terminals, and the secondary voltage taken from two terminals, almost always
having one terminal in common with the primary voltage. The primary and secondary circuits therefore
have a number of windings turns in common. Since the volts-per-turn is the same in both windings, each
develops a voltage in proportion to its number of turns. In an autotransformer part of the current flows
directly from the input to the output, and only part is transferred inductively.

49. The cross-sectional area of the common portion of an autotransformer is


(a) Kept constant
(b) Proportionally decreased
(c) Proportionally increased
(d) None of these
Hint:
Let us now right down the mmf balance equation of the transformers.
For the two-winding transformer: MMF balance equation is: N1I1 = N2I2
For the autotransformer: MMF balance equation is (N1 – N2) I1 = N2(I2 – I1)
It may be noted that in case of an autotransformer, the portion EC is common between the primary and
the secondary. At loaded condition current flowing through NEC is (I2 – I1). Therefore, compared to a two-
winding transformer lesser cross
sectional area of the conductor in the
portion EC can be chosen, thereby saving
copper.

50. The efficiency of an autotransformer for the


same output compared to a two-winding
transformer is
(a) Greater
(b) Lesser
(c) Poor
(d) None of these
Hint:
In an auto transformer, as compared to two winding transformer, there is reduction in copper loss because
a single winding serves the function of both primary and secondary windings. The reduction in copper loss
is substantial if transformation ratio is near unity. Hence higher efficiency in auto transformers.
51. The condition for successful parallel operation of transformer is
(a) Correct polarity
(b) Per unit impedance based on their rating should be equal
(c) Identical voltage and frequency rating
(d) Equal ratio of equivalent resistance to reactance

common voltage supply, and the secondary windings are connected to a common load.
52. During parallel operation of transformers incorrect polarity will result in

current of
(a) 50 A
(b) 150 A
(c) 250 A
(d) 350 A
Hint:
For the transformer in the question, rated current is 10,000 VA / 200 V = 50 A.
Drop at rated load is 10 % of 200V = 20V.
Internal impedance = 20V / 50 A = 0.4 Ohms.
When short circuited, the current will be 200 V / 0.4 Ohms = 500 Amps.
short circuited, the current secondary side is 500 amps
primary side=0.5*500=250 A
55. A 400/100 V, 10 kVA two-winding transformer is reconnected as an autotransformer across a suitable voltage
source. The maximum kVA is
(a) 50 kVA
(b) 15 kVA
(c) 12.5 kVA
(d) 8.75 kVA
56. An autotransformer having a transformation ratio of 0.8 supplies a load of 10 kW. The power transferred
inductively from the primary to the secondary is
(a) 10 kW
(b) 8 kW
(c) 2 kW

58. In operating a 400 Hz transformer at 50 Hz
(a) Only voltage is reduced in the same proportion as the frequency
(b) Only kVA is reduced in the same proportion as the frequency
(c) Both voltage and kVA rating are reduced in the same proportion as the frequency
(d) None of the above
59. In performing the short circuit test of a transformer
(a) High-voltage side is usually short-circuited
(b) Low-voltage side is usually short-circuited
(c) Any side is short-circuited with preference
(d) None of these
Hint:
The test is conducted on the high-voltage (HV) side of the transformer where the low-voltage (LV) side or the
secondary is short circuited due to the two main reasons. The first one is, the SC test conducted by applying
rated current and the HV side rated current is much less than the LV side. Therefore, the rated current is
easily achieved at HV side (due to the low current value) as compared to the LV side.

66. Magnetizing impedance of a transformer is determined by
(a) Short circuit test
(b) Open circuit test
(c) Both open circuit and short circuit tests
(d) None of these
Hint:
A transformer’s magnetizing impedance is a shunt element associated with its excitation current, i.e. the “no
load” current in the primary windings. The real component of the magnetizing impedance reflects the core
losses of the transformer. Its reactive component describes the mmf required to overcome the magnetic

89. Wind load formula developed by the Electronic Industries Association


Wind is a mass of air that moves in a mostly horizontal direction from an area of high pressure to an area with low
pressure. High winds can be very destructive because they generate pressure against the surface of a structure. The
intensity of this pressure is the wind load. The effect of the wind is dependent upon the size and shape of the structure.
Calculating wind load is necessary for the design and construction of safer, more wind-resistant buildings and
placement of objects such as antennas on top of buildings.
Define the formula developed by the Electronic Industries Association. The formula for wind load is

F = A x P x Cd x Kz x Gh, where

F: is the force or wind load


A: is the projected area of the object. It is the two-dimensional area of the three-dimensional object that the wind is
hitting. Its units are feet squared (ft2).
P: is wind pressure in pounds per square foot or psf. It can be calculated using wind speed and a conversion factor. It
is given by the equation P = 0.00256 x V2, where V is the speed of the wind in miles per hour (mph).
Cd: is the drag coefficient for an object and is determined based on the size and shape of the object subjected to the
wind. It does not have units. It is the net force in the direction of flow due to pressure on the surface of an
object.
Kz: is the exposure coefficient, and it is calculated by considering the height from the ground to the midpoint of the
object. The units of Kz are feet.
Calculate the exposure coefficient, Kz. Kz is calculated using the formula [z/33](2/7), where z is the height from the
ground to the midpoint of the object.
For example, if you have an antenna that is 3 ft long and 48 ft off the ground, z would be equal to 46.5 ft.
Kz = [z/33](2/7) = [46.5/33](2/7) = 1.1 ft
Gh is the gust response factor. and it is calculated by considering the entire height of the object. The units of Gh are
1/feet or ft-1.
Calculate the gust response factor, Gh. Gust response factor is calculated with the equation
Gh = 0.65+0.60/[(h/33)(1/7)] where h is the height of the object.
For example, if you have an antenna that is 3 ft long and 48 ft off the ground,
Gh = 0.65+0.60/[(h/33)(1/7)] = .65+.60/(51/33)(1/7) = 1.22 ft-1

91. certain communication channel has a signal to noise ratio of 7 and bandwidth of 10 KHZ what is the channel
capacity?
1. 30 bps
2. 80 bps
3. 3000 bps
4. 30,000 bps
Hint:
The Shannon channel capacity, C, is measured in units of bits/sec (bps) and is given by the equation:

C is the maximum capacity of the channel, W is the available bandwidth in the channel, and SNR is the signal
to noise ratio, not in DB.
ln 8
C = 10 X 103 log2 (1 + 7) = 10 X 103 log2 8 to calculate with scientific calculator, log2 8 = ln 2 = 3
C = 10,000 X 3 = 30,000 bps
92. An antenna has effective aperture of 10 m2 what is the additional information required to determine
delivered power?
a. Power density
b. Power losses
c. Space losses
d. Total torque
Hint:
In electromagnetics and antenna theory, antenna aperture, effective area, or receiving cross section, is a
measure of how effective an antenna is at receiving the power of electromagnetic radiation (such as radio
waves). The aperture is defined as the area, oriented perpendicular to the direction of an incoming
electromagnetic wave, which would intercept the same amount of power from that wave as is produced by the
antenna receiving it. At any point X, a beam of electromagnetic radiation has an irradiance or power flux density
S(x) which is the amount of power passing through a unit area of one square meter. If an antenna delivers P0
watts to the load connected to its output terminals (e.g. the receiver) when irradiated by a uniform field of
power density S watts per square meter, the antenna's aperture Ae in square meters is given by:

So, the power received by an antenna (in watts) is equal to the power density of the electromagnetic energy
(in watts per square meter), multiplied by its aperture (in square meters). The larger an antenna's aperture, the
more power it can collect from a given electromagnetic field.

93. Radio station 50 KW power emitter and gain 1.5, at 10 KM what will be the output power density? (Check
question)
a. 75 mW/m2 ???
b. 33 mW/m2
Hint:
50,000 𝑋 1,000 𝑋 1.5
PD = 4 𝜋 𝑋 10,000 𝑋 10,000 = 0.059 mW/m2

Antennas, an isotropic radiator is a theoretical, lossless, omnidirectional (spherical) antenna. That is, it
radiates uniformly in all directions. The power of a transmitter that is radiated from an isotropic antenna
will have a uniform power density (power per unit area) in all directions. The power density at any distance
from an isotropic antenna is simply the transmitter power divided by the surface area of a sphere (4πR2) at
that distance. The surface area of the sphere increases by the square of the radius, therefore the power
density, PD, (watts/square meter) decreases by the square of the radius.

63
Pt is either peak or average power depending on how PD is to be specified.

Radars use directional antennas to channel most of the radiated power in a particular direction. The Gain
(G) of an antenna is the ratio of power radiated in the desired direction as compared to the power radiated
from an isotropic antenna, or:

The power density at a distant point from a radar with an antenna gain of Gt is the power density from an
isotropic antenna multiplied by the radar antenna gain.

Suppose the antenna gain is given as 15 dB: Gt (dB) = 10 Log (Gt)

94. What is the total noise figure?

RF Antenna AR1 AR2 AR3


Noise factor 5 dB 15 dB 25 dB
Gain 10 dB 15 dB 20 dB
Band 160 MHZ 16 MHZ 30 MHZ

Ans:
First convert all from dB to linear

Ex: Suppose the antenna gain is given as 15 dB: Gt (dB) = 10 Log (Gt)

RF Antenna AR1 AR2 AR3


Noise factor (F) 3.16 31.62 316.23
Gain (G) 10 31.62 100
Band 160 MHZ 16 MHZ 30 MHZ

31.61−1 316.23−1
F = 3.16 + + = 3.16 + 3.061 + 0.997 = 7.217
10 10 𝑋 31.62

NF = 10 log10 (F) = 10 log10 (7.217) = 8.58

Total Gain =10 + 15 + 20 = 45 dB

Hint:
Noise figure (NF) and noise factor (F) are measures of degradation of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR),
caused by components in a signal chain. It is a number by which the performance of an amplifier or a radio
receiver can be specified, with lower values indicating better performance.

The effect of bandwidth: Although the system bandwidth is an important factor in many systems and is
involved in the actual signal-to-noise calculations for demodulated signals, noise figure is independent of
device bandwidth.

The noise figure NF is defined as the noise factor in dB

If several devices are cascaded, the total noise factor can be found with Friis' formula

where Fn is the noise factor for the n-th device, and Gn is the power gain (linear, not in dB)

96. Hard and Soft Real-Time Systems
In the previous section, we said computation must complete before reaching a given deadline. In other
words, real-time systems have timing constraints and are deadline-driven. Real-time systems can be
classified, therefore, as either hard real-time systems or soft real-time systems.

What differentiates hard real-time systems and soft real-time systems are the degree of tolerance of
missed deadlines, usefulness of computed results after missed deadlines, and severity of the penalty
incurred for failing to meet deadlines.

For hard real-time systems, the level of tolerance for a missed deadline is extremely small or zero
tolerance. The computed results after the missed deadline are likely useless for many of these systems. The
penalty incurred for a missed deadline is catastrophe. For soft real-time systems, however, the level of
tolerance is non-zero. The computed results after the missed deadline have a rate of depreciation. The
usefulness of the results does not reach zero immediately passing the deadline, as in the case of many hard
real-time systems. The physical impact of a missed deadline is non-catastrophic.

A hard real-time system is a real-time system that must meet its deadlines with a near-zero degree of
flexibility. The deadlines must be met, or catastrophes occur. The cost of such catastrophe is extremely
high and can involve human lives. The computation results obtained after the deadline have either a zero-
level of usefulness or have a high rate of depreciation as time moves further from the missed deadline
before the system produces a response.

A soft real-time system is a real-time system that must meet its deadlines but with a degree of flexibility.
The deadlines can contain varying levels of tolerance, average timing deadlines, and even statistical
distribution of response times with different degrees of acceptability. In a soft real-time system, a missed
deadline does not result in system failure, but costs can rise in proportion to the delay, depending on the
application.

Penalty is an important aspect of hard real-time systems for several reasons.

· What is meant by 'must meet the deadline'? It means something catastrophic occurs if the deadline is not
met. It is the penalty that sets the requirement.

· Missing the deadline means a system failure, and no recovery is possible other than a reset, so the
deadline must be met. Is this a hard real-time system?

That depends. If a system failure means the system must be reset but no cost is associated with the
failure, the deadline is not a hard deadline, and the system is not a hard real-time system. On the other
hand, if a cost is associated, either in human lives or financial penalty such as a $50 million lawsuit, the
deadline is a hard deadline, and it is a hard real-time system. It is the penalty that makes this
determination.

· What defines the deadline for a hard real-time system?

· It is the penalty. For a hard real-time system, the deadline is a deterministic value, and, for a soft real-
time system, the value can be estimation.

One thing worth noting is that the length of the deadline does not make a real-time system hard or soft,
but it is the requirement for meeting it within that time.

The weapons defense and the missile guidance systems are hard real-time systems. Using the missile
guidance system for an example, if the navigation system cannot compute the new coordinates in response
to approaching mountain terrain before or at the deadline, not enough distance is left for the missile to
change altitude. This system has zero tolerance for a missed deadline. The new coordinates obtained after
the deadline are no longer useful because at subsonic speed the distance is too short for the altitude control
system to navigate the missile into the new flight path in time. The penalty is a catastrophic event in which
the missile collides with the mountain. Similarly, the weapons defense system is also a zero-tolerance
system. The missed deadline results in the missile sinking the destroyer, and human lives potentially being
lost. Again, the penalty incurred is catastrophic.

On the other hand, the DVD player is a soft real-time system. The DVD player decodes the video and the
audio streams while responding to user commands in real time. The user might send a series of commands
to the DVD player rapidly causing the decoder to miss its deadline or deadlines. The result or penalty is
momentary but visible video distortion or audible audio distortion. The DVD player has a high level of
tolerance because it continues to function. The decoded data obtained after the deadline is still useful.

Timing correctness is critical to most hard real-time systems. Therefore, hard real-time systems make
every effort possible in predicting if a pending deadline might be missed. Returning to the weapons defense
system, let us discuss how a hard real-time system takes corrective actions when it anticipates a deadline

65
might be missed. In the weapons defense system example, the C&D system calculates a firing box around
the projected missile flight path. The missile must be destroyed a certain distance away from the ship or
the shrapnel can still cause damage. If the C&D system anticipates a missed deadline (for example, if by
the time the precise firing coordinates are computed, the missile would have flown past the safe zone), the
C&D system must take corrective action immediately. The C&D system enlarges the firing box and
computes imprecise firing coordinates by methods of estimation instead of computing for precise values.
The C&D system then activates additional weapons firing systems to compensate for this imprecision. The
result is that additional guns are brought online to cover the larger firing box. The idea is that it is better to
waste bullets than sink a destroyer.

This example shows why sometimes functional correctness might be sacrificed for timing correctness for
many real-time systems.

Because one or a few missed deadlines do not have a detrimental impact on the operations of soft real-time
systems, a soft real-time system might not need to predict if a pending deadline might be missed. Instead,
the soft real-time system can begin a recovery process after a missed deadline is detected.

For example, using the real-time DVD player, after a missed deadline is detected, the decoders in the DVD
player use the computed results obtained after the deadline and use the data to make a decision on what
future video frames and audio data must be discarded to re-synchronize the two streams. In other words,
the decoders find ways to catch up.

So far, we have focused on meeting the deadline or the finish time of some work or job, e.g., a
computation. At times, meeting the start time of the job is just as important. The lack of required resources
for the job, such as CPU or memory, can prevent a job from starting and can lead to missing the job
completion deadline. Ultimately this problem becomes a resource-scheduling problem. The scheduling
algorithms of a real-time system must schedule system resources so that jobs created in response to both
periodic and aperiodic events can obtain the resources at the appropriate time.

97. Session Hijacking


What is Session Hijacking?
TCP session hijacking is a security attack on a user session over a protected network. The most common
method of session hijacking is called IP spoofing, when an attacker uses source-routed IP packets to
insert commands into an active communication between two nodes on a network and disguising itself as
one of the authenticated users. This type of attack is possible because authentication typically is only done
at the start of a TCP session.

Another type of session hijacking is known as a man-in-the-middle attack, where the attacker, using a
sniffer, can observe the communication between devices and collect the data that is transmitted.

Mitigation
To defend a network with session hijacking, a defender has to implement both security measures at
Application level and Network level. Network level hijacks can be prevented by Ciphering the packets so
that the hijacker cannot decipher the packet headers, to obtain any information which will aid in spoofing.
This encryption can be provided by using protocols such as IPSEC, SSL, SSH etc. Internet security protocol
(IPSEC) has the ability to encrypt the packet on some shared key between the two parties involved in
communication. IPsec runs in two modes: Transport and Tunnel.
In Transport Mode only the data sent in the packet is encrypted while in Tunnel Mode both packet headers
and data are encrypted, so it is more restrictive.

PMP Questions

Definitions:
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) captures all elements of projects in an organized fashion. Breaking down large,
complex projects into smaller project pieces provides a better framework for organizing and managing current and
future projects. WBS facilitates resource allocation, task assignment, measurement and control of project cost and
billing. The WBS is utilized at the beginning of the project to define scope, identify cost centers and is the starting point
to developing project plans/Gantt charts and Project Network diagram.
The Organization Breakdown Structure (OBS) groups together similar project activities or “work packages” and relates
them to the organization’s structure. OBS (also known as Organizational Breakdown Structure) is used to define the
responsibilities for project management, cost reporting, billing, budgeting and project control. The OBS provides an
organizational rather than a task-based perspective of the project. The hierarchical structure of the OBS allows the
aggregation (rollup) of project information to higher levels. When project responsibilities are defined, and work is
assigned, the OBS and WBS are connected providing the possibility for powerful analytics to measure project and
workforce performance at a very high level (example business unit performance) or down to the details (example user
work on a task).
Activity: Task(s) of the project that consumes time while people/equipment either work or wait.
Activity-on-arrow (AOA): Activity-on-arrow method for drawing project networks. The activity is shown as an arrow.
Activity-on-node (AON): Activity-on-node method for drawing project networks. The activity is on the node
(rectangle).
Burst activity: An activity that has more than one activity immediately following it.
Critical path: The longest activity path(s) through the network. The critical path can be distinguished by identifying
the collection of activities that all have the same minimum slack.
Gantt chart: A graphic presentation of project activities shown as a time-scaled bar line.
Laddering: is a technique where we break down certain tasks into smaller units and try to fit them into the Project
Plan. Laddering is possible if an activity can be broken down into two or more sub-activities and a
succeeding activity is similarly broken down into the same number of sub-activities as its predecessor.
Hammock activity: is a schedule or project planning term for grouping smaller subtasks that hang between two dates.
The sub tasks are not really related in a hierarchical sense. This means that there is no fixed
sequence of tasks – any of these subtasks can be done at any time, but there is no particular
sequence. The objective is to group dissimilar activities that must be performed to achieve an
overall goal, but their individual sequence is not important or logical.
Concurrent engineering: also known as simultaneous engineering, is a method of designing and developing products,
in which the different stages run simultaneously, rather than consecutively. It decreases
product development time and also the time to market, leading to improved productivity and
reduced costs.
Concurrent engineering: Cross functional teamwork in new-product development projects that provides product
design, quality engineering, and manufacturing process engineering all at the same time.
Lag relationship: The relationship between the start and / or finish of a project activity and the start and / or finish of
another activity. The most common lag relationships are (1) finish-to-start, (2) finish-to-finish, (3)
start-to-start, and (4) start-to-finish.
Merge activity: An activity that has more than one activity immediately preceding (before) it.
Parallel activity: One or more activities that can be carried on concurrently or simultaneously.
Sensitivity: The likelihood that the critical path(s) will change once the project begins to be implemented.
Task Dependencies: Dependencies are the relationships among tasks which determine the order in which activities
need to be performed. There are four (4) types of dependency relationships

Finish to Start: Predecessor must finish before Successor can start. [Land must be purchased
before road building can start]
Start to Start: Predecessor must start before Successor can start. [Road excavating must start

b. The project is ahead schedule and spending more than the planned Cost
c. The project is behind schedule and spending more than the planned Cost.
d. The project is ahead schedule and spending less than the planned Cost.
Hint:
SPI = Schedule performance Index.
If the SPI is greater than one, this means more work has been completed than the planned work. In other
words, you are ahead of schedule. If the SPI is less than one, this means less work has been completed than
the planned work. In other words, you are behind schedule. If the SPI is equal to one, this means work is being
completed at about the same rate as planned, you are on time.
CPI = cost performance Index.
If the CPI is less than one, you are earning less than the amount spent. In other words, you’re over budget. If
the CPI is greater than one, you are earning more than the amount spent. In other words, you are under
budget. If the CPI is equal to one, this means earning and spending are equal. You can say that you are
proceeding exactly as per the planned budget spending, although this rarely happens.
