Electrical Interview questions Part 14
Electrical interview question:How do you select a cable size (Cu & Al) for a particular load?
Answer:At first calculate the electrical current of the load, after that derate the electrical current considering derating factor(depending on site condition and laying of cable) after choose the cable size from cable catalog considering derating electrical current.After that measure the length of cable required from supply point of load to load poin. Calculate the voltage drop which will max 3% (resistance and reactance of cable found from cable catalog of selecting cable) if voltage drop>3%
then choose next higher size of cable.
Electrical interview question:What are HRC fuses and where it is used?
Answer:HRC stand for "high rupturing capacity" fuse and it is used in distribution system for electrical transformers.
Electrical interview question:Which power plant has high load factor?
Answer:All base load power plants have a high load factor. If we use high efficiency power plants to supply the base load,we can reduce the cost of generation.Hydel power plants have a higher efficiency than thermal & nuclear power plants.
Electrical interview question:Mention the methods for starting an induction motor?
Answer:The different methods of starting an induction motor

Answer:The different methods of starting an induction motor
DOL:direct online starter
Star delta starter
Auto transformer starter
Resistance starter
Series reactor starter
Electrical interview question:What is the difference between earth resistance and earth electrode resistance?
Answer:Only one of the terminals is evident in the earth resistance. In order to find the second terminal we should recourse to its definition: Earth Resistance is the resistance existing between the electrically accessible part of a buried electrode and another point of the earth, which is far away.
The resistance of the electrode has the following components:
(A) the resistance of the metal and that of the connection to it.
(B) the contact resistance of the surrounding earth to the electrode.
Electrical interview question:What is use of lockout relay in ht voltage?
Answer:A lock-out relay is generally placed in line before or after the e-stop switch so the power can be shut off at one central location. This relay is powered by the same electrical source as the control power and is operated by a key lock switch. The relay itself may have up to 24 contact points within the unit itself. This allows the control power for multiple machines to be locked out by the turn of a single key switch.
Electrical interview question:What is the power factor of an alternator at no load?
Answer:At no load Synchronous Impedance of the alternator is responsible for creating angle difference. So it should be zero lagging like inductor.
