2 IV/IV B.Tech (Regular) DEGREE EXAMINATION November, 2017 Electrical &Electronics Engineering Seventh Semester Switchgear & Protection (14EE704) KEY 1. a).pick up current: The threshold value of the actuating current above which the relay operate. It is the minimum value of an actuating quantity at which relay starts operating. b).various types of over current relays: Definite time over current relay, Instantaneous over current rely, Inverse-time over current relay, Inverse definite time over current (IDMT) relay, Very inverse-time over current relay, Extremely Very inverse-time over current relay. c).negative sequence relays are employed to protect electrical machines against overheating due to unbalanced currents. d).comparator: Which compares the two actuating quantities either in amplitude or phase is known as the comparator. e). Numerical relay: Numerical relays are digital devices designated to carry out protection functions of various electrical equipment such as generator, transformer, transmission lines, motor etc. Numerical relays are based on the use of microprocessors. f).basic components of static relays: 1.Input element: rectifier 2. Measuring element: Comparator 3. Output Element: Transistor as an amplifier 4. Feed element: DC Power supply 5. Tripping circuit g).soil Resistivity: Soil resistivity is a measure of how much the soil resists the flow of electricity. The measure of the resistance offered by the soil in the flow of electricity is called the soil resistivity. h). The flux density in the windings is directly proportional to the induced voltage and inversely proportional to the frequency and the number of turns in the winding. Over fluxing is usually encountered in Transformers which are directly connected to the generator. It usually occurs when the generator is being started or stopped. As the rpm of the generator and consequently the frequency of the power falls, the same system voltage induces a higher magnetic flux.

3 i) 1. Overloading 2. Over speeding 3. Unbalanced loading 4. Overvoltage 5. Failure of prime mover 6. Loss of excitation (Field failure) 7. Cooling system failure. 8. Stator winding fault. j). air break circuit breaker which operates in air at atmospheric pressure and air blast circuit breaker is operated a blast of compressed air. k).restriking voltage: The transient voltage which appears across the breaker contacts at the instant of arc being extinguished is known as restriking voltage. l).breaking capacity of circuit breaker: Circuit Breaker breaking capacity expresses the highest rms value of the short circuit current that the circuit breaker is capable of breaking under specified conditions of transient recovery voltage and power frequency voltage. Symmetrical breaking capacity: It is the rms value of the ac component of the fault current that the circuit breaker is capable of breaking under specified conditions of recovery voltages. Asymmetrical breaking capacity:it is the rms value of the total current comprising of both ac and dc components of the fault current that the circuit breaker can break under specified conditions of recovery voltage. The breaking capacity of circuit breaker is generally expressed in MVA. Breaking capacity= 3xrated voltage in kv X rated current in ka.
