Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd Question Solution.

1.What is KWH?

Ans:The kilowatt-hour is a derived unit of energy equal to 3.6 megajoules. If the energy is being
transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt-hours is
the power in kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours
2.What is Ohms Law?

The potential difference (voltage) across an ideal conductor is proportional to the current through it.
The constant of proportionality is called the "resistance", R. Ohm's Law is given by: V = I R where V is the
potential difference between two points which include a resistance R.

3.What is the function of Transformer?

Ans:Transformers (sometimes called "voltage transformers") are devices used in electrical circuits to
change the voltage of electricity flowing in the circuit. Transformers can be used either to increase the
voltage (called "stepping up") or decrease the voltage ("step down").

4.What is Voltage Drop in Circuit?

Ans:Voltage drop is defined as the amount of voltage loss that occurs through all or part of a circuit due
to impedance. A common analogy used to explain voltage, current and voltage drop is a garden hose.
Voltage is analogous to the water pressure supplied to the hose.

5.Whyy Losses are undesirable?

Ans:Think it through. A loss is something that goes away, w/o you being able to use it. Losses in
electricity is like you putting 10 dollars into your wallet, but when you get to the store there are only 9
left for you to use. No one wants that. Besides, in electricity losses usually turn into heat, and that heat
has to be managed before it gets intense enough to damage something.

6.Is home that is 220v single or three phase?

Everyone know About It.

7.How Many K-Ohm By 680,000 ohms?

Everyone know About it.

8.What is Over Load and Short Circuit?

Ans:An overload current is caused in a faultfree circuit through the overload of a single load or multiple
loads operated simultaneously that exceed the permissible total current. By contrast, a short circuit is a
conducting connection, e.g. phase neutral conductor, caused by a fault.

9.what is Relation Between Current and Power?

Ans:Ohm's law equation : V = I R and the power law equation : P = I V. P = power, I or J = Latin:
influare, international ampere, or intensity and R = resistance. V = voltage, electric potential difference
V or E = electromotive force (emf = voltage).

10.Can Electricity be store?

Ans:Energy can be stored. The energy of generated electricity can be stored as chemical energy in
batteries, as gravitational potential energy behind dams, as heat, or in several other ways. Electricity
itself can't be stored, any more than you can store flowing water. It's not a fact.

11.Why do you use capacitor in fan?

Ans:The fan has an AC single phase motor. ... Now when capacitor is added to the additional auxiliary
winding of stator it creates field which leads by 90 degree to main winding field so we get two field
which are 90 degrees to each other, resulting a rotating field responsible for start of the fan motor.

12.What is alternating current is measured in?

Ans:That's because the voltage in an alternating current circuit is constantly changing. There are actually
three ways you can measure voltage in an AC circuit. ... In most AC voltages, the peak-to-peak voltage is
double the peak voltage. RMS voltage: The average voltage of the circuit; also called the mean voltage.

13.What is Resitance?

Everyone know About It.

14.What is the unit of Electrical Resitance?

Everyone know About It.

15.What would happen if one bulbe burn out in parallel Circuit?

Ans:If you have a 3 bulbs in parallel lets say. If one of those burns out it just means that there is now an
open circuit where the burned out bulb used to be. The two that remain aren't aware that anything has
changed.

16.How Do you Convert From DC to AC Power?

Everyone know About It.

17.What is a device that Control Current?

Follw circuit-1

18.What is the meaning of load factor?

Ans:In electrical engineering the load factor is defined as the average load divided by the peak load in a
specified time period.

19.What is Voltage?

Ans:Voltage, electric potential difference, electric pressure or electric tension is the difference in
electric potential energy between two points per unit electric charge.

20.What is a fuse?

Ans:A fuse is a protective device that is designed to protect an electrical power system from the harmful
effects of over-currents (currents higher than the normal operating current).

Fuses are sacrificial in that they are generally good for one time use and are destroyed in the process of
operating. The use of fuses in a circuit provides cheap insurance should there be an accidental or
unintentional fault in the system wiring or component

21.What is an ohm?

Ans:The SI unit of electrical resistance, expressing the resistance in a circuit transmitting a current of one
ampere when subjected to a potential difference of one volt.

22.What is kirshhofs Voltage Law?

Ans:Kirchhoff's Voltage Law is a result of the electrostatic field being conservative. It states that the
total voltage around a closed loop must be zero. If this were not the case, then when we travel around a
closed loop, the voltages would be indefinite.

23.What is a Diode?
A diode is a device which only allows unidirectional flow of current if operated within a rated specified
voltage level.
24.What is an Apparent power?
Apparent power is a measure of alternating current (AC) power that is computed by multiplying the
root-mean-square (rms) current by the root-mean-square voltage.The vector difference between the
apparent and true power is called reactive power.
25.What is insulator?

Ans:An insulator is a material or method that restricts the transfer of either heat or electricity. Insulators
are used to protect us from the dangerous effects of electricity flowing through conductors. Insulators are
materials that have just the opposite effect on the flow of electrons. They do not let electrons flow very
easily from one atom to another. Insulators are materials whose atoms have tightly bound electrons.
These electrons are not free to roam around and be shared by neighboring atoms. Some common insulator
materials are glass, plastic, rubber, air, and wood. Most solid materials are classified as insulators because
they offer very large resistance to the flow of electric current. A material used to resist the flow of heat is
known as Thermal insulation. Thermal insulators work by reducing the rate heat can travel through a
space. Basically, they use specific materials which will keep heat-carrying matter from moving. On the
other hand, in case of electricity, Electrical insulators detain the electric current to a chosen path. They
generally work by using a material with many outer electrons, a condition that will cause low electrical
conductivity.

26.What Does a tube light work?

Ans: A tube light or fluorescent lamp is a kind of light that uses a combination of electricity and mercury
vapour to create light energy. A fluorescent light does not begin to produce light immediately, because it
takes time to apply high voltage to its electric poles, after which, this energy needs to be stabilised. When
you turn on the switch, the discharge begins in the starter. The heat makes the bimetallic poles in the
starter bend towards each other. Once the bimetallic poles meet, the discharge automatically stops and is
sent to the poles of the lamp.

When the bimetallic strip cools, it returns to its original position. Meanwhile, the built up current is
transferred to the poles of the tube, vapourizing the mercury droplets. The mercury gas is then ionized by
the current flowing within.

27.What is Parallel Connection?

Ans:If two or more components are connected in parallel they have the same potential difference
(voltage) across their ends. The potential differences across the components are the same in magnitude,
and they also have identical polarities. The same voltage is applicable to all circuit components connected
in parallel. The total current is the sum of the currents through the individual components, in accordance
with Kirchhoffs current law.

28.What is a thermal Over Load?

Ans:A thermal overload relay is a small electromechanical device that protects motors from overheating.
These relays help to control the electrical current that goes to the motor to prevent it from overheating.

29.How Does a single phase induction motor works?

Ans:To understand its working better, lets assume there is only one coil in the main and auxiliary

winding.

Fig.3 We will analyse a case with both the wingdings are having one coil

Assume no current is flowing through the auxiliary winding. AC current passing through the main
winding will produce a fluctuating magnetic field.

Fig.3 AC current passing through main winding will produce a fluctuating magnetic field
The working of single phase induction motors is simple. Just put one rotor which is already rotating,
inside such a magnetic field. You can note one interesting thing; the rotor will keep on rotating in the

same direction.

Fig.4 A rotor with initial rotation will keep on rotating in a fluctuating magnetic field

The reason behind this phenomenon is explained in coming sections.

30.What is Reactive Power?

Ans:Reactive power is the resultant power in watts of an AC circuit when the current waveform is out of
phase with the waveform of the voltage, usually by 90 degrees if the load is purely reactive, and is the
result of either capacitive or inductive loads. Only when current is in phase with voltage is there actual
work done, such as in resistive loads. An example is powering an incandescent light bulb; in a reactive
load energy flows toward the load half the time, whereas in the other half power flows from it, which
gives the illusion that the load is not dissipating or consuming power.

31. What is the purpose of insulation on electrical cables?

Ans:The function of electrical insulation is to resist electrical leakage. Shorting and personnel injury are
effects of its failure to perform that function.

32. what is current transformer and its function?

Ans:A current transformer (CT) is a transformer that is used to produce an alternating current in its
secondary which is proportional to the AC current in its primary. Current transformers, together with
voltage transformers or potential transformers , which are designed for measurement, are known as
instrument transformers.
When a current is too high to measure directly or the voltage of the circuit is too high, a current
transformer can be used to provide an isolated lower current in its secondary which is proportional to the
current in the primary circuit. The induced secondary current is then suitable for measuring instruments or
processing in electronic equipment. Current transformers also have little effect on the primary circuit.
Often, in electronic equipment, the isolation between the primary and secondary circuit is the important
characteristic.

Current transformers are used in electronic equipment and are widely used for metering and protective
relays in the electrical power industry.

Basic operation of current transformer A CT for operation on a 110 kV

grid

Current transformers have two basic functions:

adapting the MV current value at the primary to the characteristics of the metering or protection
devices by supplying a secondary current with a reduced, but proportional current value
isolating power circuits from the metering and/or protection circuit.

The primary is series-mounted on the MV network and subject to the same over-currents as the latter and
withstands the MV voltage.

The secondary generally has one of its terminals connected to earth. The secondary must never be in an
open circuit to avoid lethal shock as high voltage induced in secondary open terminal in this case.

33.What is Electrical Impedance?

Ans:Electrical impedance (also called "impedance" in short) is an extension of the definition of resistance
to alternating currents (AC). What is meant by this is that impedance includes both resistance (the
opposition of the electric current that causes heat) and reactance (the measure of such an opposition as the
current alternates) in detailing the opposition against electric currents. In direct currents (DC), electrical
impedance is the same as resistance, but this does not hold true in AC circuits.
Impedance can also be different from resistance when a DC circuit changes flow in one manner or
another, like the opening and closing of an electrical switch, as is observed in computers when they open
and close switches to represent ones and zeros (binary language). The opposite of impedance is
admittance, which is the measure of the allowance of current. The figure to the left is a complex
impedance plane, in which impedance is represented by a Z, resistance is depicted as R, and reactance is
depicted with X

34.What is a Capacitor?

Ans:A capacitor is an element which stores charges. It is a passive element as it stores energy. Michael
Faraday invented capacitor. The unit of capacitance is Farad was the name of honor of Michael Faraday.
In electronics, communication, power systems, computer etc field capacitors are extensively used. In
circuit capacitor in an important circuit element, its role can not be described in words.

Two conducting plates separated by an insulator or dielectric in a capacitor. The construction of capacitor
is shown in figure 1. Practically the plates may be aluminum foil and the dielectric may be paper,
ceramic, air, mica etc.

35.What is difference betweeb KV and KVA?

Ans:The basic difference between the two is kW is unit of active power or real power in which power
factor is taken into consideration while kVA is unit of apparent power in which power factor is not taken
into consideration. kV-Kilo Volts. kV is the measure of Voltage. Watts-It is the measure of Power.

36.How many ohm in 1kohm ?

Everyone know About It.

37.What is Electrical Efficency?

Everyone know About It.

38.How do add resistance in parallel circuit?

Ans:The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source.
You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
+... If one of the parallel paths is broken, current will continue to flow in all the other paths.
