2. Do we have AC or DC at our home or Residential use?
-
AC
-
Both AC & DC
-
DC
-
None Of The Above
Correct Answer
A. ACExplanation
AC stands for alternating current, which is the type of electrical current commonly used in homes for residential purposes. AC current periodically changes direction, allowing for the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances. It is generated by power plants and delivered to homes through the electrical grid. In contrast, DC (direct current) flows in one direction only and is typically used for specific applications such as batteries and electronic devices. Therefore, the correct answer is AC, indicating that homes have AC current for residential use.Rate this question:

5. Do we select MCB as per Voltage rating or current rating??
-
Only Voltage
-
Only Current
-
Both
-
None Of The Above
Correct Answer
A. Only CurrentExplanation
MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is selected based on its current rating, not the voltage rating. The current rating of an MCB determines the maximum amount of current it can safely handle without tripping. It is important to select an MCB with the appropriate current rating to ensure proper protection of the electrical circuit. The voltage rating of an MCB indicates the maximum voltage it can withstand, but it does not affect the selection process as long as it is higher than the voltage of the circuit being protected. Therefore, the correct answer is "Only Current."Rate this question:

7. Which type of protection MCB/MCCB offers in power line??
-
High Voltage Tripping
-
Low Voltage Tripping
-
Low Current Tripping
-
High Current Tripping
Correct Answer
A. High Current TrippingExplanation
MCB/MCCB offers high current tripping as a type of protection in power lines. This means that when the current flowing through the power line exceeds a certain threshold, the MCB/MCCB will automatically trip and disconnect the circuit, preventing any damage or overheating that could occur due to the high current. This protection mechanism helps to ensure the safety and reliability of the power line.Rate this question:

-
Thermal in MCB & Both in MCCB
Correct Answer
A. Thermal in MCB & Both in MCCBExplanation
The operating principle of MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is only thermal, meaning it operates based on the heat generated by excessive current flow. On the other hand, MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) operates on both thermal and electronic principles. It uses thermal protection for overload conditions and electronic protection for short circuit conditions. Therefore, the correct answer is "Thermal in MCB & Both in MCCB."Rate this question:

10. What is a accesory or part name used to get signal about position of MCB and MCCB ?
-
Undervoltage Coil
-
Auxillary Contact
-
Shunt Coil
-
Aux/Fault Signaling Contact
Correct Answer
A. Auxillary ContactExplanation
An auxiliary contact is a part or accessory used to get a signal about the position of MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker). It is a secondary set of contacts that operates in conjunction with the main contacts of the circuit breaker. The auxiliary contact provides a signal or feedback to indicate whether the circuit breaker is in the open or closed position. This information is useful for monitoring and controlling the circuit breaker remotely or for integration into a larger electrical system.Rate this question:
