18. How do you check press and temp alarms. What equipment used for same
20. If on starting Generator you find that voltage is not building up what you do?
Residual magnetism is lost. So supply power from outside by connecting battery.
25. What precautions you will take before entering battery room.
a.Inform the bridge & the engine control room
b.Check the oxygen content.
c. Should be ventilated properly.
d. All PPE to be donned properly & rubber hand gloves to be used.
e. No Naked lamps to be taken inside.
f. .
26. What is meaning of power factor. What is best value. What is normal value onboard. How do you improve?
Power Factor :- The power factor of an AC electric power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to
the apparent power and is a dimensionless number between 0 and 1
The best value is 0.85. The normal value onboard varies in between 0.8 to 0.9.
Power factor can be improved by connecting a Capacitor in parallel.
35. What precautions to take while using megger ion circuits containing Electronic components.
45 Why load picked by crane does not fall if power goes off
Because Electro-magnetic brakes get operated.
47.Maintenance on Alternator?
a. Ventilation passages & air filters to clean.
b. Insulation resistance to check for Stator, rotor winding. If low, then varnish to be done
c. Air gap to check using plastic feeler gauge.
d. Bearing oil to be renewed.
e. Use vaccum cleaner to remove dirt/ dust.
f. Terminal box cover gasket integrity to check.
g. Terminal connections to check for tightness.
h. AVR components, diodes to keep free from oil, moisture or any dirt.
i. Heaters to be checked.
48. How to carry out Open Circuit & Short circuit test?
Open Circuit Test: The purpose of this test is to determine no load loss or core loss.
One winding of the transformer, usually high voltage side if left open and the other is connected to its supply of normal voltage
and frequency. A wattmeter, voltmeter and the ammeter are connected in the low voltage winding.
With the normal voltage applied to the low voltage side, normal flux will be set up in the core, hence normal iron losses will
occur which are recorded by the Wattmeter.
The load current on the low voltage winding will be small(2 to 5 % of rated full load current ), the copper loss in the winding will
be negligible and will be nil in the high voltage side winding..
So, the wattmeter reading will represent practically the core loss under no load condition.
49. Suppose your motor has short-circuited, then how much value will you get on Megger.
53. How is the load decided on AC Compressor & how does it works?
An explosimeter is a device which is used to measure the amount of combustible gases present in a sample. When a percentage of
the lower explosive limit (LEL) of an atmosphere is exceeded, an alarm signal on the instrument is activated. "Explosimeter"
The device, also called a combustible gas detector, operates on the principle of resistance proportional to heat—a wire is heated,
and a sample of the gas is introduced to the hot wire. Combustible gases burn in the presence of the hot wire, thus increasing the
resistance and disturbing a Wheatstone bridge, which gives the reading.
A flashback arrestor is installed in the device to avoid the explosimeter igniting the sample external to the device.
The combustible gas indicator shown diagrammatically above consists of a Wheatstone bridge with current supplied from a
battery. When the bridge resistances are balanced, no current flows through the galvanometer. One resistance is a hot filament in
a combustion chamber. An aspirator bulb and flexible tube are used to draw a gas sample into the chamber. The gas will burn in
the presence of the red hot filament causing the temperature of the filament to rise. Rise of temperature increases the resistance of
the filament and this change of filament unbalances the bridge. The current flow registers on the meter which is scaled in
percentage of LFL or ppm.
