Q.8 If the working voltage of the transmission line is very high, the magnitude of earth fault current is also___.
A. very low
B. very high
C. depend on soil
D. all of the above
Ans.: B
Q.9 The size of the conductor must be chosen in such a way that it can withstand the_____ produced by earth fault current until the protective relay comes into action and isolates the faulty portion of the system.
A. high resistance
B. high earth fault current
C. high temperature
D. high voltage
Ans.: C
Q.10 Which of the following is correct for the minimum cross sectional area of the earth conductor?
A. A = Ifault/C mm2

Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.
Is it difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure
things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about creating my
own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions?
Many thanks adreamoftrains hosting services
