SUPARCO Test for AM (Electrical Power Engineering)

1. Voltage controlled device: JFET

2. Tunnel diode has a special characteristics: negative resistance

3. Negative Voltage regulation of transformer on: leading power factor

4. Transformer transforms: power (according to Theraja)

5. Steady state error in a closed loop system:

6. Total power transmitted by AM is 2.6 kW and modulation index is 0.8 then carrier power is:

Solution:

Pt = Pc (1 + m²/2)

Pt = 2.6 kW

m = 0.8

So,

2.6 = Pc (1 + 0.8²/2)

2.6 = Pc (1.32)

Pc = 2.6/1.32

Pc = 1.96 kW

7. When modulation index increases from 0 to 1 power transmitted increases by: 50%.

8. Which of following is digital modulation: PCM

9. The best suited motor to drive 3/4 HP air compressor would be: single phase series motor

10. With the presence of earth wire in case of overhead lines: Only Capacitance of the line increases.

11. Sheath in underground cables is provided: to protect the insulation from moisture.

12. The motor used in vacuum cleaner is: Universal motor

13. On a given generated emf, the speed of generator is maximum then number of poles: 2 [N = 120 x
f/P]

14. When the frequency increases the inductive reactance: increases [Xl = 2πfL]

15. Standby losses are zero in: Hydro-power plant

[Standby losses in a power plant are defined as the fuel wasted when no generation is happening. There
are no standby losses in hydro-power plant.]

16. When the load factor increases the kWh generated: increases

17. When load factor equals to the plant factor then:

18. Half adder consists of how many gates: 2

19. A source follower is: common drain amplifier.

20. Reactors are used in power systems: To increase impedance of the system thereby limiting current.

21. Hysteresis losses of transformer are determined: By performing no-load test by connecting
Transformers' terminals to the output terminals of the alternator, which is driven by dc motor.

22. Damping ratio of critically damped system: ζ=1 (unity)

23. The stator field and rotor field rotate at same speed is called: Ns (synchronous speed)

24. Static RAM or SRAM contains flip flop to store the information.

Errors and omissions excepted.

Introduction

Your percentage is increasing from Matric to onward i think u r hardworking

Then they ask me

What are you doing now a days

I said i am working in High Voltage designing Lab

Then they ask question regarding that how you design that sources i tell them but interviewer seems to

Ask about their order

Microwave theory

What is corona types of transformer with respect to frequency

Ask questions regarding autocad

Amplitude modulation

Then they were saying your experience is in electronics and why are you there.... Second member of
panel tell him its power experience i also tell them high voltage is power field where you used
ferrite core where you used air core. Why you donot use air
core......... Transformer design depends upon?

In the end panel members said.

V good u can go now...... But question is that advertisement m 2 seats mention hn 86 bndy electrical k
lea shortlist hn interview m...... Its mean through interview it will be really tough to select the best
one......

Best of luck for the remainings one
