Mechanical Design of
Answer: a
Overhead Lines
Explanation: Francis turbines are inward mixed ow type reaction turbines. Such turbines develop power
Conductor Materials partly due to velocity of water and partly due to di erence in pressure acting on the front and back of the
runner blades.

4. Operating head of Francis turbine is __________
Symmetrical Fault a) less than 30
Analysis b) less than 70 m
c) 30 to 200 m
Symmetrical Components
d) more than 200 m
Symmetrical Fault View Answer
Analysis

Compensation in Power Answer: c

Systems Explanation: Francis turbines are medium head(30 to 200 m) and medium ow turbines. Using it for low
or high head will cause ine cient operation. Their life is about decades so maintenance cost is low.
Voltage Stability

Distribution Systems 5. Which of the following is not a reaction turbine?

Underground Cables &
Insulators
Switchgear & Protection
Best Reference Books
a) Francis turbine
b) Kaplan turbine
c) Pelton wheel turbine
d) Propeller turbine
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: When the entire pressure of water is converted into kinetic energy in a nozzle and the jet
thus formed drives the wheel then the turbine is called impulse turbine. Pelton turbine works in similar
way, so it is an impulse turbine. Francis, Kaplan and propeller turbines are reaction turbines.

6. Inside pressure of which of the following turbine is equal to atmospheric pressure?

a) Fixed vane propeller turbine
b) Movable vane propeller turbine
c) Francis turbine
d) Pelton wheel turbine

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Francis and propeller turbines are totally submerged in water, the turbine casing is full of
water. As the water ows through the turbine blades, its pressure changes. Also the discharging water
creates negative pressure below the turbine blades. Pelton turbines are tted in open air and water Jet is
forced into its blades by nozzel so it’s inside pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure.

7. Francis turbine is suitable for medium head hydroelectric power plant.

a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Francis turbines are medium head and medium ow turbines. Kaplan turbines are low head
high ow turbines. Pelton turbines are high head and low ow turbines.

8. Which turbine has highest speed?

a) Pelton wheel turbine
b) Francis turbine
c) Impulse turbine
d) Kaplan turbine

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Francis turbine has a speci c speed of 60 to 300 rpm. Speci c speed of Pelton turbine is
lowest. Speed of Kaplan turbine is 2 to 3 times more than that of Francis turbine.

9. Governing mechanism used in case of Pelton wheel turbine is ________

a) guide vane
b) nozzle needle
c) control valve
d) dam gates

View Answer

Answer:b
Explanation: During load variation it is necessary to maintain the speed of the alternator constant. This is
achieved by controlling the ow of water entering the turbine by the help of automatic adjustment of
guide vanes for reaction turbine and the nozzle needle is in case of impulse turbine. Such an operation of
speed regulation called governing and the system used to do this is called governor.

10. Guide vanes are used as governor in Kaplan turbine.

a) True
b) False

View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Guide vanes are used as governor in Francis and Kaplan turbines. These guide vanes
controls the ow of water to the turbine and hence governs the speed of rotation of turbine. Under
di erent loading conditions the speed of rotation of turbine is needed to be controlled for constant
frequency output.
