Answer .1 Stranded conductors SSC JE Electrical Conventional Paper Solved

2016-Electrical-Exam

Explanation: SSC JE Electrical Conventional Paper Solved

2016-17-Electrical-Exam

Stranded Conductors are widely used over solid conductors. Although there
seem to be more expensive than solid conductor but offers many advantages
too, over the solid conductor.
1. Stranded conductor offer much surface area for flow of current that
results in the reduced diameter of the conductor for same current carrying
capacity.
2. As Stranded conductor offer much surface area so the overall resistance
of the conductor is lesser than the same size solid conductor.
3. Eddy current losses are very much lesser than the solid conductor.
4. Stranded conductors are very suitable to an external environment and
reduce the risk of loose connection.
5. Stranded Conductor offer much flexibility hence have the longer life than
the solid conductor.

Ques 22. High voltage transmission lines use

1. Suspension insulators
2. Pin insulators
3. Any of the above
4. None of the above

Hide Explanation

Answer .1 Suspension Insulator

Explanation:

Suspension Type Insulator

 With an increase in the line voltage (above 33 kV) the pin insulator becomes
heavy and complicated.
Suspension type Insulator consists of Number of porcelain discs connected in
series with the metallic links to form a chain and the line conductor is carried by
the bottom-most insulator.

Advantages of Suspension Type Insulator

1. Each disc is designed for low voltage i.e for 11 kV. Therefore by connecting
number of an individual disc in series the insulator can be designed for any
system voltage. For e.g 33 kV working voltage will require 3 individual discs.
2. Mechanical stress on the string is very low.
3. Line conductors are less affected by the lightning.
4. If anyone of the insulators fails it can be replaced easily and at very low cost.
5. It is more economical than pin type insulator for high operating voltage.

Ques 23. Multicore cables generally use

1. Square conductors
2. Rectangular conductors
3. Sector-shaped conductors
4. Circular conductors

Hide Explanation

Answer .3 Sector-shaped conductors

Explanation:

Sector-shaped conductors

A sector conductor is a stranded conductor whose cross-section is approximately

the shape of a sector of a circle. A multiple conductor insulated cable with sector
conductors has a smaller diameter than the corresponding cable with round
conductors.

Ques 24. The material commonly used for insulation in high voltage cables is

1. Rubber
2. Paper
3. Lead
4. Any of the above

Hide Explanation

Answer .2 Paper

Explanation:

Cables for power distribution of 10 kV or higher may be insulated with oil and
paper, and are run in a rigid steel pipe, semi-rigid aluminium or lead sheath.
 An extruded lead sheath over the paper cable was required to ensure that the
paper remained absolutely dry.

Ques 25. Overhead lines generally use

1. A.C.S.R. conductors
2. Copper conductors
3. Aluminium conductors
4. Any of the above

Hide Explanation

Answer .1 A.C.S.R. conductors

Explanation:

Aluminium-conductor steel-reinforced cable(A.C.S.R.

conductors)

Aluminium conductor steel-reinforced cable (ACSR) is a type of high-capacity,

high-strength stranded conductor typically used in overhead power lines.
The outer strands are high-purity aluminium and the centre strand is steel for
additional strength to help support the weight of the conductor.
Steel has higher strength than aluminium which can allow increased
mechanical tension to be applied on the conductor.

Ques 26. The power factor of industrial loads is generally

1. Unity
2. Lagging
3. Leading
4. Any of the above

 
Hide Explanation

Answer . 1 Lagging

Explanation:

Generally industrial loads include inductive motor coil, therefore, they have
lagging power factor.

Ques 27. The material generally used for armour of high voltage cables is

1. Copper
2. Brass
3. Aluminium
4. Steel

Hide Explanation

Answer .4 Steel
Explanation:

Steel wire armoured cable, commonly abbreviated as SWA, is a hard-wearing

power cable designed for the supply of mains electricity.
It is one of a number of armoured electrical cables – which include 11 kV Cable
and 33 kV Cable – and is found in underground systems, power networks and
cable ducting.
Armour Steel wire armour provides mechanical protection, which means the
cable can withstand higher stresses, be buried directly and used in external or
underground projects.

Ques 28. In transmission lines, the cross-arms are made of

1. Steel
2. Wood
3. R.C.C
4. Either Steel or Wood

Hide Explanation

Answer .4 Either Steel or Wood

Explanation:

Cross arms are either made up of wood or steel angle sections.

Cross arms are installed at the top of the pole for holding for holding the
insulator on which the conductors are fastened.
If the cross arms are fixed in the centre of the pole then it is simply called as
cross arms.
If the cross arms are fixed on the on the side of the pole then it is termed as
side cross arms.
For three phase line U shaped Cross arms is used.

Ques 29. Transmission line insulators are made of

1. Porcelain
2. Glass
3. Composite Polymer
4. Any of the above

Hide Explanation

Answer.4 Any of the above

Explanation:

Insulators used for high-voltage power transmission are made from glass,
porcelain or composite polymer materials.
Porcelain insulators are made from clay, quartz or alumina and feldspar, and
are covered with a smooth glaze to shed water.
Porcelain has a dielectric strength of about 4–10 kV/mm.
Glass has a higher dielectric strength, but it attracts condensation and the thick
irregular shapes needed for insulators are difficult to cast without internal
strains.
 Ques 30. The material commonly used for sheaths of underground cables is

1. Lead
2. Rubber
3. Copper
4. Iron

Hide Explanation

Answer.1 Lead

Explanation:

The insulator conductors are covered with the lead sheath. This provides
additional mechanical strength and also protect the cable from moisture.
Note: The most common material used as the sheath in today’s cables is Poly-
Vinyl-Chloride or PVC. Earlier days, the lead was used as the sheath.
