Compare the pros and cons of overhead lines and underground cables. The cost of underground cables is typically three times
that of comparable overhead lines.
What is a bushing?
This is a device that provide safely passing electricity which has high voltage or high current. It is insulated.
Why is oil put in a transformer? This oil provides to isolation of transformers and cools to transformers.
What are the differences between Current and Voltage Transformers?
Why should the secondary of a CT never become open-circuited?
Describe the concept of auto reclosing. ( You may look online for ABB auto-reclosing)
Auto-recloser can automatically close the breaker after there is a fault. It is like a circuit breaker.
How does an isolator differ from a circuit breaker? Major difference between isolator and circuit breaker is that isolator
device, whereas circuit breaker is an on-load device.
is an off-load

AC is much more efficient for transmitting power through a cable as you
can use higher voltages and therefore lower currents. Because it is AC, the
transmission lines have a characteristic impedance which is the same for any
What are the pros and cons of AC and DC transmission? length of line. DC on the other hand cannot easily be converted from one
voltage to another. It therefore requires much heavier( therefore more
expensive) conductors. DC also presents a problem with electrolysis in
What are Thyristors used for in Power Systems?
switch gear and earthing. It is also difficult to balance loads on a commercial
TRIAC and DIAC
supply system.
breakers.
Why aren't electric power lines fully coated all over with insulation?
How would it be possible to manufacture smaller substations?
What does IEC 60183 refer to?
This standard intended to give guidance in the selection of the conductor size, insulating level and construction of cable to
be used on three- phase alternating current systems operating of voltages exceeding. (Withdrawn Standard)
