Note: First part of each question is compulsory. Attempt any 2 parts from b,c,d UNIT-I

UNIT-III 3(a) Which of the gases are used in the commercial gas-blast CBs? [2] 3(b) Explain the phenomena of current chopping & its effects on circuit interruption. Why it is more common in an air blast CB than in oil CB? [5] 3(c) What is meant by rated MVA breaking capacity of such a breaker? In a short circuit test on a circuit breaker, the following readings were obtained on a single frequency transient: (i) Time to reach peak restriking voltage, 50s (ii) (ii) the peak restriking voltage, 110kV. Calculate the average RRRV & the frequency of oscillations. [5] 3(d) Explain the construction & principle of operation of SF6 circuit breaker [5] --------------

1(a) On what fact is the current graded protection based?[2] 1(b) Give schemes of protection for parallel feeder fed from (i) one end, (ii) both the ends. [6] 1(c) Explain the directional comparison method of carrier current protection. [6] 1(d) Explain 3-zone protection scheme for long lines Give schematic diagrams of contact circuits & explain their principle of operation for these schemes. [6] UNIT-II 2(a) Static relays are superior to electromagnetic relays. Justify. [2] 2(b) Discuss the merits & demerits of static relays over electromagnetic relays. [6]
