Question 1

When dismantling the bearing of an electric machine, the force should be applied to?

A The inner ring of the bearing.

B The outer ring of the bearing.

C Both the inner and outer rings of the bearing.

Question 2

In practice, when manually synchronizing a generator for parallel operation, its frequency is set slightly higher than the network frequency on the busbars. This is done in order to?

A Ensure that the incoming generator takes on active load immediately after being connected to the main switchboard busbars.

B Test the operation of the reverse power relay.

C Prevent the running generator from switching to motor mode.

D Avoid a sudden surge of balancing currents.

Question 3

Can a transformer designed to convert 220V to 110V be used to convert 440V to 220V?

A No, because core magnetic saturation will be exceeded, leading to overheating and failure.

B Yes, if it is rated for such power.

C Yes, if the supply voltage frequency is reduced.

D Yes, if the output load is reduced.

Question 4

How will the output voltage of a generator with an automatic voltage regulator behave if a powerful consumer is disconnected?

A It will remain practically at the same level due to the operation of the automatic voltage regulator.

B The voltage will rise and then slowly drop to the nominal value.

C It will remain practically at the same level due to the operation of the drive engine speed regulator.

D The voltage will drop and then slowly rise to the nominal value.

Question 5

Which protection disconnects one of the two parallel-running generator sets in case of fuel/steam supply failure?

A Reverse power protection.

B Fuel/steam pressure protection.

C Low-frequency protection.

D Low-voltage protection.
