Transformer phasing quiz

Think you have this covered? This should be a piece of cake.

Does this nameplate convey which way the vectors rotate A-B-C or C-B-A?

Question Image

Which way are the vectors rotating in 1 and 2?

Question Image

It is time to replace a transformer. The old transformer's phase shift is shown in the image. The new one has Dyn1 or Dab 30degree shift.

If you were to parallel this new transformer with other existing transformers (all with Dyn1 or Dab phase shift), how would you land the phase conductors on the bushings? (Hint: use the infographic in the article)

Question Image

 

 

Consider this scenario, if the new transformer has Dyn11 or Dac phase shift, how would you land the phases now?

Quiz - Substation Engineering 2

Substation Major Equipment

It's only stupid-simple, let's begin.

You are building an interconnect station, tying wind farm generation to the power grid. At the substation, the sources are tied through a tie-breaker. Which device would you install to make sure the sources are synchronized?
Question Image
A transformer develops an internal fault. Which device would you install on the transformer high-side to interrupt fault current?
Question Image
An industrial facility is plagued with voltage flicker (due to harmonics) and poor power factor at the service entrance. Which device would you install to fix both issues?
Question Image
For which event should a surge arrester operate? Check all that apply.
Question Image
What's the purpose of a conventional power transformer?
Question Image
In a distribution substation, the available ground-fault current on the low side of the step-down transformer is excessive, over-dutying the switching equipment. What is your cost-effective solution to reducing the fault current?
Question Image
Which combination of devices would you use to implement power line carrier?

Quiz - Substation Engineering 3

Direct Transfer Trip Quiz

Get ready to learn this topic like never before.

For what kind of fault at Substation 1 would you transmit a DTT to Substation 2 (to trip breaker 2CB1)?

Question Image

For a transformer fault at substation 2, would you transmit DTT to substation 1?

Question Image

Assume circuit breaker 3CB2 fails at substation 3. DTT is transmitted to Substation 2 to trip 2CB1 and 2CB3. Which auxiliary relay would you install at Substation 2 to trip breakers 2CB1 and 2CB3?

Question Image

For a temporary fault on the transmission line, would you transmit DTT from either one substation?

Question Image

For a fault on Bus 1, would you implement a direct transfer trip (pilot) scheme to trip breakers tied to the same bus?
