Power System Protection MCQs Part 2

a. In case of fault it is often desired that frame leakage protection should trip:

1. Half the installed breakers
2. Only one breaker
3. All connected breakers
4. Two breakers

Correct answer: 3. All connected breakers

b. The correct equation for an effectively grounded system is:

1. X₀/X₁ < 3.0
2. X₀/X₁ > 3.0
3. X₀/X₁ > 2.0
4. 3.0 < X₀/X₁< 9.0

Correct answer: 1. X0/X1 < 3.0
