Problem 4 (MCQ):
1. One of the purposes for performing the short circuit test in a transformer is to estimate
its:
(a) Copper loss
(b) Core loss
(c) Insulation Resistance
(d) Total loss
2. A three-phase Y - \(\triangle\) transformer bank is to handle 500 kVA and has a 34.5/11-kV
voltage ratio. The rating of each single-phase transformer in the bank (high voltage,
low voltage, apparent power, and turns ratio) will be:
(a) 19.9 kV, 6.35 kV, 167 kVA, 2.50:1
(b) 34.5 kV, 6.35 kV, 167 kVA, 4.33:1
(c) 19.9 kV, 11.0 kV, 167 kVA, 1.44:1
(d) 34.5 kV, 11.0 kV, 167 kVA, 2.50:1
3. Consider ideal transformer models only. The load voltage is phase-shifted from the
supply voltage. The transformer is likely to be:
(a) A step-up autotransformer
(b) A step-down autotransformer
(c) A three-phase Y-Y transformer
(d) A three-phase Y-\(\triangle\) transformer
4. For a self-excited DC shunt generator, if no residual magnetism is present, the generator
will
(a) Be inefficient
(b) Be highly efficient
(c) Be dangerous to operate
(d) Not start
5. Increasing the field resistance of a shunt DC generator will
(a) Increase the induced voltage.
(b) Decrease the induced voltage.
(c) Not affect the induced voltage.
(d) Make the induced voltage oscillate.
