Q1) In a short circuit test on a 220 kV, 3 Phase CB with earthed neutral the following
results were obtained. Fault pf = 0.4, recovery voltage = 0.9 of full line value; the
breaking current is symmetrical and the re-striking transient had a natural frequency
of 18 kHz. Determine RRRV, assuming that the SC is an earthed fault.

be ignored. Find Maximum voltage across the contacts of the CB Frequency of the
transient oscillations. The average rate of rise of re-striking voltage up to the first peak

Q4) An 11 kV, 50 Hz alternator is connected to a system which has inductance and
capacitance per phase of 10 mH and 0.01 μF respectively. Determine (i) the maximum
voltage across the breaker contacts; (ii) Frequency of transient oscillation; (iii) the
average RRRV; and (iv) the maximum RRRV.
Q5) In a 220kV system the line to ground capacitance is 0.02 μF and inductance is 9
H. Find out the voltage appearing across the pole of a CB, if an instantaneous
magnetizing current of 6A is interrupted. Find the value of resistance to be used across
the contacts to eliminate the re-striking voltage.
Q6) A 66 kV, 50 Hz, 3-phase alternator has an earthed neutral. The inductance and
capacitance per phase of the system are 7 mH and 0.01 μF respectively. The short
circuit test gave the following results: Power factor of fault 0.25, fault current
symmetrical recovery voltage is 90% of full line voltage. Assuming that the fault is
isolated from the ground, calculate the RRRV.
