Power System Protection MCQs Part 21

The normal current in power line is 120 A. If short circuit fault occurs on the line, the one can expect the short-circuit current to be

The normal current in power line is 120 A. If short circuit fault occurs on the line, the one can expect the short-circuit current to be:

  1. 120 A
  2. 200 A
  3. 500 A
  4. More than 1000 A

Correct answer: 4. More than 1000 A

Explanation: The short circuit current is generally more than 10 times of the normal current. Therefore, one can expect the short-circuit current to be more than 1000 A.

The fusing current I for a round wire having diameter d is given mathematically by

The fusing current I for a round wire having diameter d is given mathematically by:

  1. I ∝ d
  2. I ∝ d^2
  3. I ∝ d^3/2
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 3. I ∝ d^3/2

A fuse is always connected in:

  1. Series with circuit
  2. Parallel with circuit
  3. Series-parallel configuration with circuit
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 1. Series with circuit
