14) In a test by Murray loop for ground fault on 500 m of cable having a resistance of 1.6
Ω / km, the faulty cable is looped with the sound cable of some length and area of cross
section. If the ratio of the other two arms of the testing network at balance is 3:1, what is
the distance of fault from the testing end of cables?
a. 100 m
b. 200 m

15) A 3 phase over head transmission line is supported by three discs of suspension
insulators. The potentials across the first and second insulator are 8 and 11 kV respectively.
WWW.ALLEXAMREVIEW.COM
What is the line voltage and string efficiency?
d. None of these.
17) Assertion (A): The string efficiency can be improved by using long cross arms.
Reason (R): Use of long cross arms reduces the ratio of capacity to earth to capacity per
insulator thereby increasing the string efficiency.
18) Assertion (A): Capacitance grading improves the string efficiency not more than 220
kV.
Reason (R): In capacitance grading the units used are of different capacitance and so are
not interchangeable.
d. None of these
a. Flash over
b. Short circuits
c. Deposition of dust
d. All of these
