AI Thread Summary
A 4th year electrical engineering apprentice is seeking assistance with several exam questions related to electrical concepts. Key topics include calculations for a star-connected generator supplying a balanced load, transformer full load current and power output, and determining minimum transformer capacity based on maximum demand. Additionally, there is confusion regarding a voltage divider network involving resistors and their impact on voltage across specific components. The apprentice is looking for verification of answers and clarification on these topics to aid in exam preparation.

Hello all,

A 4th year apprentice here studying like mad for his final exams, have a few questions that have me stumped.

If anybody could please help it would be much obliged!

I have done most of the questions, though it would be good to check against some answers.

Here goes:

1) A 3 wire, star connected generator is supplying a balanced star connected oven. The phase voltage of the generator is 400v. Each phase of the generator is supplying 10A.

a) Phase voltage of the load?
b) Value of line current?
c)Total power consumed by the load?
d) Resistance of each phase of the load?2) A 3 phase,11kv/415v 250kVa transformer operates at .88PF LAG at full load.

a) Determine the full load secondary current?
b) Output power?3) You do a max demand for a 3phase, 400v installation, and determine the MD is 375A per phase. For this load, what is the minimum kVa transformer that may be used?4) A voltage divider network consisting of a 12kΩ and a 1.5kΩ resistor connected across 24v. The output is taken across the 6.8kΩ. (Doesnt make any sense to me? Maybe a spelling mistake in the question?)
Calculate the voltage across the 1.5kΩ resistor under no load?

b) If the value of the 1.5.kΩ resistor rises, what does the voltage across the 6.8kΩ resistor do?Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Sam

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
