Electrical Power Transmission MCQs

The electrical power transmission system involves the transmission lines which carry the bulk power from generation plants to the distribution networks. At present, the primary source of transmission is alternating current (AC). The primary power transmission levels are 138-765kV, whereas the secondary transmission levels are between 34.5-115 kV. In this section, you’ll learn about Electrical Power Transmission MCQs that are very important for competitive tests such and university exams. While they are vital for concept development you get the technical insight of subject. Let’s start our learning.

Sort the EHV class of voltages

1. Sort the EHV class of voltages:

  1. 66 kV-660 kV
  2. 345 kV-765 kV
  3. 100 kV-1000 kV
  4. 110 kV-1100 kV

Correct answer: b. 345 kV-765 kV

Explanation: Voltages of level 345-765 kV are classified as EHV voltages, where EHV represents Extra high voltages.

The surge impedance of a transmission line is defined as

2. The surge impedance of a transmission line is defined as:

  1. √(L/C)
  2. √LC
  3. √(L + C)
  4. √(C – L)

Correct answer: a. √(L/C)

Explanation: The surge impedance of the line is ration between L and C and it explains that if a purely resistive load is connected to the load side of any line, then the voltage surge introduced at input will be completely absorbed on the output.
