Question 1
In a balanced three-phase star-connected low voltage AC system in Hong Kong (400V line-to-line), what is the relationship between the line voltage (V_L) and the phase voltage (V_ph)?
Correct Answer:
V_L = sqrt(3) * V_ph, with line voltage leading phase voltage by 30 degrees
Question 2
A 400V balanced three-phase industrial motor draws a line current of 50 A at a lagging power factor of 0.85. What is the total active power (P) consumed by the motor?
Correct Answer:
29.44 kW
Question 3
According to Fortescue's theorem, an unbalanced three-phase power system can be resolved into three symmetrical components. Which sequence component is characterized by equal phase magnitudes rotating in the reverse phase sequence (L1-L3-L2)?
Correct Answer:
Negative sequence component (I_2)
Question 4
A 11kV/400V, 1500 kVA distribution transformer has a per-unit impedance of Z_pu = 0.05 (5%) on its rating base. Assuming an infinite 11kV busbar upstream, what is the prospective three-phase symmetrical short-circuit fault current (I_sc) at the LV secondary busbars?
Correct Answer:
43.30 kA
Question 5
A 400V 3-phase 4-wire sub-main circuit carries a balanced design load current of 120 A over a cable route length of 80 meters. The selected copper XLPE cable has a tabulated voltage drop value of 0.38 mV/A/m. What is the total voltage drop and percentage voltage drop at the load terminals?
Correct Answer:
3.648 V (0.91%)
