This set of Basic Transformers Questions and Answers

focuses on “Neutral Earthing in Transformers”.
1. Categories for a transformer earthing of a system neutral

are ___
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) Many
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Fortunately for transformer designers, earthing
of a system neutral can only fall into one of three
categories. These are: Neutral solidly earthed, Neutral
earthed via an impedance, Neutral isolated.
2. Which of the following neutral earthing method is

disadvantageous?
a) Neutral solidly earthed
b) Neutral earthed via an impedance
1 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
c) Neutral isolated
d) Neutrally
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Due to the problems and disadvantages of the
third alternative that is neutral isolated, it is unlikely that it
will be encountered in practice so that it is only necessary to
be able to design for the first two.
3. Minimum voltage above which electrical system needs to

be earthed is _____
a) 50 V
b) 5 V
c) 10 V
d) 20 V
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: According to regulations and acts made in
earlier years Every electrical system rated at greater than
50 V shall be connected to earth. Here minimum voltage is
defined at the level of 50 V. Various other rules are defined
according to the voltage ranges.
4. What is the low voltage range according to the earthing

procedures?
a) 5 V – 100 V
b) 0 V – 100 V
c) 50 V – 1000 V
d) 0 V – 1000 V
View Answer
2 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
Answer: c
Explanation: Low voltage is defined as exceeding 50 V but
not exceeding 1000 V and is mainly referring to 415 V
distribution networks. For low voltage systems the
regulations say that ‘no impedance shall be inserted in any
connection with earth.
5. Low voltage systems should be solidly earthed.

a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Low-voltage systems must be solidly earthed.
The system of protective multiple earthing, which can be
advantageous on 415 V distribution networks in some
situations, is permitted on low-voltage systems subject to
certain other conditions but this still requires that the neutral
should be solidly earthed ‘at or as near as is reasonably
practicable to the source of voltage.
6. Earthed neutral allows rapid operation of protection to

___________
a) Line to line faults
b) Earthed faults
c) Other faults
d) For all faults
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: An earthed neutral allows rapid operation of
protection immediately an earth fault occurs on the system.
3 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
The earthed neutral in conjunction with sensitive earth fault

protection results in the faulty section being isolated at an
early stage of the fault.
7. Which method will reduce the cost of insulation between

earth and cables?
a) Neutral solidly earthed
b) Neutral earthed via an impedance
c) Neutral isolated
d) Neutrally
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If the neutral is solidly earthed, the voltage of
any live conductor cannot exceed the voltage from line to
neutral. As under these conditions the neutral point will be
at zero potential, it is possible to effect appreciable
reductions in the insulation to earth of cables and overhead
lines, which produces a corresponding saving in cost.
8. For an un-earthed line voltage of line to earth can be

______________
a) More than line to neutral of earthed system
b) Less than line to neutral of earthed system
c) Equal to line to neutral of earthed system
d) Can’t specify
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: On an unearthed system the voltage to earth
of any line conductor may have any value up to the
breakdown value of the insulation to earth, even though the
4 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
normal voltage between lines and from line to neutral is

maintained.
9. High voltage line is only disadvantageous in

______________
a) Small overhead lines
b) Small underground lines
c) Long overhead lines
d) Long underground lines
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The only disadvantage of connecting a high-
voltage system to earth is that this introduces the first earth
from the outset and it thus increases the susceptibility to
earth faults. This can be inconvenient in the case of a long
overhead line, particularly in areas of high lightning
incidence.
10. Earth contact material resistance should be

____________
a) Less than 2 ohms
b) More than 2 ohms
c) Depends on the circuit or system
d) Very high
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: It is not always appreciated that it is very
difficult to obtain resistance values of less than about 2
ohms from a single earth plate, and often it is still more
difficult to maintain the value after the earthing system has
5 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
been installed for some time.
11. If parallel arrangement is done the minimum distance

between two earthing conductors should be _______
a) 10 meters
b) 5 meters
c) More than or equal to 10 meters
d) 2 meters
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Where a parallel arrangement is employed,
each plate, rod, etc., all such things should be installed
outside the resistance area of any other. Strictly, this
requires a separation of the order of 10 meters.

6-7 minutes
This set of Transformers Multiple Choice Questions &

Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Noise in Transformers”.
1. If para magnetic core is used in the place of the

ferromagnetic core of the transformer, then what will
happen to magnetostriction?
a) be vanished
b) reduce
c) increase
d) not be affected
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: If the core is not ferromagnetic then the
transformer will not operate at all. Thus, humming sound
which is produced generally, by a transformer of a
ferromagnetic core will get vanished.
2. In which of the following category, noise level test of a

transformer falls in?
a) Special test
1 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
b) Routine test
c) Type test
d) Different test
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Special Tests of transformer include Dielectric
tests, Measurement of zero-sequence impedance of three-
phase transformers, Short-circuit test, Measurement of
acoustic noise level, Measurement of the harmonics of the
no-load current.
3. The noise produced by a transformer is termed as

_____________
a) zoom
b) hum
c) ringing
d) buzz
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The transformer when operated produces
noise which is termed in an electric system as hum. Sound
pressure and frequency are the objective characteristics
measured by a sound level meter, it is possible to obtain a
rating proportional to the loudness of a sound from the
appropriate meter readings.
4. The hum in a transformer is in direct proportion with

______________
a) load changes
b) oil in the transformer
2 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
c) magnetostriction
d) mechanical vibration
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The basic cause of transformer noise is due to
magnetostriction, which is an expansion and contraction of
the iron core (laminations) due to the magnetic effect of
alternating current flowing through the transformer coils.
This produces an audible sound called hum.
5. A 400 V, 10 KVA transformer at 60 Hz, is operated at the

frequency of 40 Hz, then the humming __________
a) increases
b) decreases
c) remains same
d) increases to very high
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: We know that frequency can be related with
core flux density in the inverse proportion. Thus, if the
frequency is reduced, the core flux density increases, which
will also increase the sound produced by transformer.
6. How the A-weighted sound power level is calculated?

a) LWA= LpA – 10 log10 S/SO
b) LWA= LpA + 10 log10 S/SO
b) LWA= LpA + 10 log10 S*SO
b) LWA= LpA – 10 log10 S*SO
View Answer
Answer: b
3 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
Explanation: The sound power level can be calculated using

the sound pressure levels determined above by computing
the effective area for the measurement surface according to
the relevant method of measurement and relating this to the
standard measurement surface, which is one square metre.
The A-weighted sound power level is thus: LWA= LpA + 10
log10 S*SO.
7. Noise emitted by the transformers when drawn against

frequency shows the ______________
a) increasing curve
b) straight line increasing
c) straight line decreasing
d) decreasing curve
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Consideration of magnetostrictive strain in the
transformer core reveals that magnetostriction can be
expected to produce a longitudinal vibration in the
laminations at just this measured frequency. Unfortunately,
the magnetostrictive strain is not truly sinusoidal in
character, which leads to the introduction of the harmonics.
8. Step-lap is _____________
a) special component used in transformer to control sound
b) special construction technique
c) special supply technique
d) graphical nature shown by transformer sound
View Answer
Answer: b
4 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
Explanation: The other main source of noise from the

transformer core is due to alternating attractive and
repulsive forces between the laminations caused by flux
transfer across the air gaps at the leg to yoke and inter-
yoke joints. These forces can be reduced by special
building and design techniques of which the best known
and most widely used is the step-lap form of construction.
9. Main and basic design of the transformer is tested by

___________
a) routine tests
b) special tests
c) type tests
d) different tests
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: To check that transformer meets customer’s
specifications and design expectations, the transformer has
to go through different tests in manufacturer premises.
Some of these tests are carried out for confirming the basic
design of that transformer. Type test of transformer
confirms main and basic design criteria of transformer
production lot.
10. The most carried method of attenuation of transformer

is ___________
a) changing core material
b) increasing oil tank size
c) building walls around transformer
d) adding some another fluid in oil tank
5 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The most obvious method of attenuation is by
the provision of a suitable barrier between the transformer
and the listener. The simplest form of barrier is a screening
wall, the effectiveness of which will vary with height and
density as well as with the frequency of the noise.
11. Transformers are located ______________

a) anywhere
b) in the direction of down wind
c) in the direction of up wind
d) can be located in any wind direction according to the
application
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Topographical features of the site should be
exploited to the full in order to reduce noise. Where
possible the transformer should be located in the prevailing
down-wind direction from houses. Existing walls and
mounds should, if possible, be kept between dwellings and
the transformer.

1. Satisfactory parallel operation of transformers needs

______
a) 5 conditions
b) many conditions
c) 10 conditions
d) 7 conditions
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The satisfactory parallel operation of
transformers is dependent upon five principal
characteristics; that is, any two or more transformers which
it is desired to operate in parallel should possess: The same
inherent phase angle difference between primary and
secondary Terminals, The same voltage ratio, The same
percentage impedance, The same polarity, The same
phase sequence.
1 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
2. Voltmeter connected across two similar terminals of

parallel operated transformers should give _______
a) 0 reading
b) maximum reading
c) sum of individual reading
d) division of individual readings
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Polarity applied so as to indicate the
directional relationship of primary and secondary terminal
voltages of a single unit. Any two single-phase transformers
will have the same polarity when their instantaneous
terminal voltages will be in phase. With this condition a
voltmeter connected across similar terminals will indicate
zero.
3. Transformers are subjected to transients because

_________________
a) open-circuit currents
b) short-circuit currents
c) inrush currents
d) both OC and SC currents
View Answer

Explanation: The transients to which transformers are
mainly subjected are: Impact of high-voltage and high-
frequency waves arising from various causes, including
switching in, system switching transients with slower
wavefronts than the above, switching inrush currents, short-
2 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
circuit currents.
4. Any transformer needs to be protected from __________

a) transformer faults
b) faults occurring on the transformer connected systems
c) faults within and on system
d) other faults
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The subject of transformer protection falls
naturally under two main headings. These are the
protection of the transformer against the subsequent events
of effects of faults occurring on any part of the system.
Protection of the system against the effects of faults arising
in the transformer.
5. How many types of faults can occur in a system?

a) 2
b) 3
c) 5
d) Many
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Considering first the means to be adopted for
protecting the transformer itself against the effects of
system faults, three distinct types of disturbances have to
be provided for. These are: Short-circuits, high-voltage,
high-frequency disturbances including lightning, pure earth
faults.
6. Ferroresonanace can be added in __________________
3 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
a) faults due to system

b) faults in the transformer
c) manual faults
d) other faults
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: To this list could be added ferroresonance,
which can occur under certain conditions in any system
containing capacitance and inductance elements such as
those associated respectively with cables and transformers.
7. System-short circuits may occur due to

________________
a) Line to line contacts
b) Line to neutral contacts if neutral is not earthed
c) Line to neutral contacts if neutral is earthed
d) LL and LG faults
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: System-short circuits may occur across any
two or even three lines, or, if the neutral point is solidly
earthed, between any one line and the earthed neutral.
Thus, mechanical stress gets created in the transformer
circuit.
8. Mechanical stress produced in the circuit

______________
a) directly proportional to the square of the voltage
b) inversely proportional to the square of the voltage
c) directly proportional to the square of the currents
4 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
d) inversely proportional to the square of the currents

View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The short-circuit currents produce very high
mechanical stresses in the equipment through which they
flow, these stresses being proportional to the square of the
currents. The magnitude of these short-circuit currents can
be limited by increasing the system impedance, usually
incorporating this into the supply transformers.
9. High voltage, high frequency surges can occur in the

system due to _________________
a) atmospheric disturbances
b) line faults
c) manual faults
d) line to neutral faults
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: High-voltage, high-frequency surges may arise
in the system due to lightning, external flashover on
overhead lines, switching operations and to the effects of
atmospheric disturbances. These surges principally take the
form of travelling waves having high amplitudes and steep
wavefronts.
10. Surge impedance can be calculated as _________

a) L/C
b) C/L
c) √(L/C)
d) √(C/L)
5 of 6 3/19/18, 8:01 AM
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The amplitudes of the waves in the overhead
line and at the transformer terminals depend upon the
respective values of their surge impedance, which is given
by the formula: √(L/C); where Z=surge impedance in ohms,
L=inductance in henrys, C=capacitance in farads, of the
circuit concerned.
11. Surge protection can’t be implemented by the addition

of rod gaps.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: Surge protection is implemented by the
addition of rod gaps or surge arresters adjacent to the
transformer to shunt the surges to earth. These attenuate
the surge magnitudes in the view of the windings and their
resulting insulation stresses to levels which can be
withstood by suitably proportioned insulation distribution
without causing resonant instability and dangerous
oscillations within the windings.

conditions; (b) with tapped interposing transformers for use
with standard line current transformers of any ratio.
2. Ingress of air into the oil tank can be avoided by using

___________
a) relays
1 of 6 3/19/18, 8:02 AM
b) plastic coatings
c) metal coatings
d) fuses
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Relay are used to protect the transformer
circuitry in core-bolt insulation failure, short-circuited core
laminations, bad electrical contacts, local overheating, loss
of oil due to leakage, ingress of air into the oil system.
3. When tripping of the transformer from the main circuit is

required?
a) Local overheating
b) Short-circuited core laminations
c) Core-bolt insulation failure
d) Puncture of bushings
View Answer

actions help to remove that fault. While in following four
cases transformer must be removed from the main circuitry:
(a) short-circuit between phases, (b) winding earth fault, (c)
winding short-circuit, (d) puncture of bushings.
4. Transformers used generally don’t belong to type

“construct and forget.”
a) True
b) False
View Answer
2 of 6 3/19/18, 8:02 AM
Answer: b
Explanation: Transformers generally have no moving parts
and there is nothing to wear out, so that there is little to be
maintained. Indeed, many small transformers, particularly
those installed in distribution networks, once commissioned
remain in service for many years with minimal attention.
These are examples of the ‘fit and forget’ methodology.
5. Which of the following is the reason relating to the

maintenance while operation?
a) To obtain the maximum practicable operating efficiency
b) To obtain optimum life
c) To minimise the risk of premature and unexpected failure
d) Maximum efficiency, life, minimum temperature

Answer: d
Explanation: The objects in maintaining any item of plant
are: To obtain the maximum practicable operating
efficiency, to obtain optimum life, to minimise the risk of
premature and unexpected failure.
6. Stored oil should be checked continuously for

_________________
a) impurities in the oil
b) oil levels
c) oil moisture content
d) oil reactions
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: Bulk oil storage tanks will be fitted with a
3 of 6 3/19/18, 8:02 AM
breather usually of the silica gel type. It is important that the

desiccant in this should be frequently checked and
maintained in a dry state. Oil stored in drums will also
breathe via the bungs on the covers.
7. Dissolved gas contents are need to be observed

because _____________________
a) dissolved oxygen
b) dissolved gases from outside air
c) dissolved gases from arcs occurring in the transformer
d) all dissolved gases
View Answer
Answer: c
Explanation: The generation of gas in oil-filled equipment by
disruptive discharges (sparks and arcs) and severe
overheating results from the chemical reactions which occur
as a result of such faults. The resultant effect of the high
thermal and disruptive discharge conditions are due to the
severity of the fault and the presence of other materials
such as solid insulation.
8. How many places of arcing can possible?

a) 4 places
b) 5 places
c) 8 places
d) 2 places
View Answer
Answer: a
Explanation: Arcing of winding clamping-pressure adjusting

burning of core plates at their edges consistent with severe

circulating currents, indication of overheating of core frames
and adjacent core frame insulation.
9. What is the advantage of gas-monitor?

a) Time delay
b) Alarms at presence of a particular gas
c) Less efficiency
d) Requires high power
View Answer
Answer: b
Explanation: The disadvantage of this device is that it
simply alarms at the presence of a particular gas. As should
be evident from the above, it is not so much the presence of
gas, or gases, which are indicative of a fault so much as a
sudden change in the status quo.
10. For high reliability of transformer action, how many

fundamental checks should be done?
a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) Can’t tell
View Answer

20°C ambient.
4. Time required for an insulation to reach at end is given

by __________________
a) Kirchhoff
b) Joule
c) Ampere
d) Arrhenius
2 of 5 3/19/18, 8:02 AM
View Answer
Answer: d
Explanation: Expressed in quantitative terms the time
required for insulation to reach its end of life condition is
given by the Arrhenius law of chemical reaction rate. Within
a limited range of temperatures this can be approximated to
the simpler Montsinger relationship.
5. Arrhenius law is given by ___________________

a) L=αβT
b) L=αβ/T
c) L=α+βT
d) L=α+β/T
View Answer
