2365 612 electrical sciences with correct answers 2025




Power generated at - correct answer25kv



Power transmitted at - correct answerStepped up from 25kv into 275/400kv and 132kv



Power distributed at - correct answer33/11kV and 230/400v



How are transformers kept cool - correct answerAir, oil or gas



MCB type B, C, D - correct answerBSEN 60898



RCD - correct answerBSEN 61008



Power factor - correct answerThe ratio of true power to apparent power. A better factor means
current use age is reduced so a smaller cable size can be used and lower demand needed



Pf - correct answerTrue power (kW) % Apparent power (kVA)



How to create a leading power factor - correct answerTo correct a lagging power factor we can
use a capacitor (bulk and load connection) or a synchronous motor



Inductance - correct answerhow easily a certain material will induce an electromotive force
(emf) within a circuit.

AC makes it flux any times a second so producing inductive reactance



Inductive Reactance (Xl) - correct answerThe opposition to current of AC caused by inductance
of a circuit, expressed in ohms. 2pieFL

, Pie=3.14 f=frequency l=inductance



Impedance z - correct answerZ = square root of Rsquared + XLsquared



Capictors - correct answerCharge like batteries in AC so produces opposition to current called
capacitive reactance (XC)



Capacitive reactance XC - correct answer1% 2pieFC

Pie=3.14 F is frequency C is capacitance



Total reactance - correct answerXL -XC or XC - XL

XC capacitive reactance

XL inductive reactance



Impedance (z) - correct answerZ= square root of rsquared+xsqaufed

Impedance the opposition to current in AC comprising of resistance, inductive and capacitive
reactance.



DC machine basics - correct answerField winding generates the static magnetic field. Armature
winding which via the commutator created a changing magnetic field.



Change direction in a series motor - correct answerWe reverse the polarity of field or armature.
Same with a shunt motor.



Discharge lighting eg low pressure mercury - correct answergenerates light through electrical
discharge through ionised gas in luminaire. Noble gas ignites it. Phosphor coating makes it
visible for us to see.



Transformer losses - correct answerCopper loss-created by current through cables.

Iron losses-magnetic losses in core of transformer called eddy currents or hysteresis losses.
