Transformers

111. Two transformers operating in parallel will share the load depending upon their

  1. leakage reactance
  2. per unit impedance
  3. efficiencies
  4. ratings

Correct answer: (B)
per unit impedance

112. What will happen if the transformers working in parallel are not connected with regard to polarity?

  1. The power factor of the two trans-formers will be different from the power factor of common load
  2. Incorrect polarity will result in dead short circuit
  3. The transformers will not share load in proportion to their kVA ratings
  4. none of the above

Correct answer: (B)
Incorrect polarity will result in dead short circuit

113. When a given transformer is run at its rated voltage but reduced frequency, its

  1. flux density remains unaffected
  2. iron losses are reduced
  3. core flux density is reduced
  4. core flux density is increased

Correct answer: (D)
core flux density is increased

114. When secondary of a current transformer is open-circuited its iron core will be

  1. hot because of heavy iron losses taking place in it due to high flux density
  2. hot because primary will carry heavy current
  3. cool as there is no secondary current
  4. none of above will happen

Correct answer: (A)
hot because of heavy iron losses taking place in it due to high flux density

115. Which of the following acts as a protection against high voltage surges due to lightning and switching?
