1. A wye-delta transformer has a primary line voltage of 7200 V and a secondary voltage of 360 V. What is the turns ratio?
Your Answer: 20:1
Correct Answer: 11.55:1
Help: [What is the turns ratio?]

A 4160V circuit is equipped with 200/5 CTs, at full scale what should the panel ammeter read if the circuit was operating with a power factor of 0.8%?

Should the question provide primary side amps so I can convert to Panel readings using CT ratio?

7200/360 = 20
20/1.732 = 11.55 Turns ratio

Convert the vector (–1.0, 1.0) into magnitude/angle form.

Answers have -45, 0, 2, 45, and 135 degrees as potentials. -1,1 is in the third quadrant, meaning the angles should be between 180 and 270 degrees (in this case 215), vice the I believe 135 degree which is marked as the correct answer.

  1. Which of the following acceptance tests is optional for a 13200-480Y/277V 2500kVA dry-type transformer?
    Your Answer: Power-factor or dissipation-factor tests on all windings
    Help: NETA ATS-2021 7.2.1.2.B

Per NETA ATS-2025 7.2.1.2.B.3 Power-factor or dissipation factor tests on all windings is optional.

11. Pressurizing a liquid-filled transformer tank with N2 will prevent the entrance of water.
Your Answer: True
Correct Answer: False

IEEE Std C57.140 (2006) guide for evaluation and reconditioning of liquid‑immersed power transformers:

“Positive nitrogen pressure (along with a good gasket) keeps oxygen and moisture out.”

  1. Which IEEE trip curve would produce the shortest trip time given the relay information below?
    Relay Pickup Current (A): 1000
    Relay TD Setting: 1
    Fault Current (A): 10000
    Your Answer: IEEE Moderately Inverse
    Correct Answer: IEEE Extremely Inverse
    Help: Inverse Time Overcurrent Relays and Curves Explained

As shown in the link in the Help section, IEEE Extremely Inverse has the slowest trip time. Moderately Inverse should be the correct answer.

Testing motor circuits would best be achieved by use of Ohmmeter

Phase-angle meter

Ammeter

Megohmetter

Voltmeter

Testing in what way? These meters all have merit for different tests.
