Sample Model Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Practice representative questions modeled after actual council examination standards.

Sample Question 1

In a 3-phase induction motor, if the synchronous speed is 1500 rpm and the rotor operates at 1440 rpm, what is the slip?

A.2%
B.4%
C.5%
D.6%

Correct Answer: 4%

Explanation: Slip is defined as s = (N_sync - N_rotor) / N_sync = (1500 - 1440) / 1500 = 60 / 1500 = 0.04 or 4%.

Sample Question 2

Which type of relay is best suited for the protection of long high-voltage electrical transmission lines against distance faults?

A.Mho relay
B.Definite time overcurrent relay
C.Thermal overload relay
D.Buchholz relay

Correct Answer: Mho relay

Explanation: Mho relays (admittance relays) are inherently directional and operate efficiently for long transmission lines where reach is less affected by power swings.
