Conclusion
Question 1
What should be the minimum clearance between the highest point of the
conservation tank and the ceiling of the transformer room?
Ans: The minimum clearance between the highest point of the conservation
tank and the ceiling should not be less than 0.5 m.
Question 2
When it is necessary to dry out transformer?
Ans: When if it has been determined that a transformer has excessive moisture
content then it becomes necessary to dry out transformer.
Question 3
What do you mean by reactivation of transformer oil?
Ans: Reactivation of transformer oil means the reconditioning of deteriorated
oil to make it active again by purifying and drying transformer oils.
Question 4
What are the different methods of purifying and drying out transformer oils?
Ans: The different methods of purifying and drying out transformer oils are:
1. Centrifugal purification
2. Adsorption purification
3. Thermo vacuum drying
4. Globe Core
Question 5
What do you mean by neutralization value of transformer oil?
Ans: Neutralization value is measured of free organic and inorganic acids present
together in transformer oil. It is expressed in terms of number of milligrams of
potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the total free acids in one gram of oil.
The test reveals the presence of acidic constituents or contaminants in the oil, by
using principle of titration. Neutralization value of transformer oil is expressed in
mg KOH/gm.
Question 6
What is the maximum limit of acidity of serviceable transformer oil?
Ans: The acidity of the oil transformer should never be allowed to exceed 0.25kg
KOH/g oil. This is called as the “Critical Acid Number” and the deterioration
increases rapidly once this level is exceed.
Question 7
What is the effect of the presence of moisture and impurities in transformer oil?
Ans: The presence of moisture and impurities in the oil decreases the dielectric
strength of the oil and also reduces the insulation resistance of the transformer.
Question 8
What is the effect of presence of air bubbles in the transformer oil?
Ans: When air remains in the oil the oxygen reacts on the cellulose of the
insulation and the decomposition products of the cellulose lead to the formation
of organic acids soluble in oil and also sludge which blocks the free circulation
of the oil.
Question 9
What is the effect of varnishes on the transformer oil?
Ans: Varnishes of the oxidizing type readily reacts with the transformer oil and
precipitate sludge on the windings. But synthetic varnishes having acid
inhibiting properties generally delay the natural formation of acid and sludge in
the oil.

representation of a transmission line.

Theory
❖ The capacitive line charging current produces a voltage drop across, the
line inductance that is in phase with the sending-end voltage, assuming
negligible line resistance.
❖ Therefore, both the line inductance and capacitance are responsible for
the phenomenon. This can be analyzed by considering the line
impedance is lower than the load impedance.
❖ The Ferranti effect is more pronounced the longer the line and the higher
the voltage applied.
• The receiving end voltage was kept open & the sending end voltage
gradually increases up to 120 to 180 volts.
• The reading of sending end voltage and receiving end voltage were noted
down.
• The sending end voltage was gradually increased & receiving end voltage
were note down at respective value of sending end voltage.

CONCLUSION
From the above experiment, we can conclude that the receiving end voltage is
greater than the sending end voltage due to light load on the open circuit at the
receiving end.

Negative Phase Sequence: If an alternator is subjected to an unbalanced load
situation, connected to non-linear loads or an asymmetrical fault condition, then
the resulting state is described as having a Negative Phase Sequence
component. Under these conditions, a Negative Phase Sequence Current
[ symbolized as I2 ] will exist.
Procedure
Field winding was shorted and rotor was rotated at synchronous speed
with the help of a prime mover.
Field terminals were shorted and rotor was rotated at synchronous speed
with the help of prime mover.

Ans: Zero at infinite time.
Question 3
The positive sequence component of voltage at the point of fault is zero when it
is a?
Ans: 3-ɸ Fault.
Question 4
What is the advantage of salient poles in an alternator?
Ans: The advantage of a salient pole rotor is that you can fit a large number of
poles so can generate a given frequency at a low rotational speed. This is only
good for slow speed prime movers, such as water turbines. If you try to spin the
rotor too fast, it will vibrate and want to fly to pieces.

phase terminals.

➢ Theory :- Definition: The economic load dispatch means the real and
reactive power of the generator vary within the certain limits and fulfils
the load demand with less fuel cost. The sizes of the electric power
system are increasing rapidly to meet the energy requirement.
So the number of power plants is connected in parallel to supply the system load
by an interconnection of the power system. In the grid system, it becomes
necessary to operate the plant units more economically.
