If a generator is producing 500MW and 200Mvar, the generator is: correct answer: Lagging 87 correct answer: Is the IEEE device number for a differential relay. Can a Synchronous machine have a negative torque angle? What doies this mean? correct answer: Yes, the machine is absorbing active ...

The temperature of a transmitter is 20-300 degrees F. The output signal is 3-15 psig. What would be the expected output signal for an input temperature of 175 degrees F? correct answer: 195/320=.609(16)+3=9.64 psig Most flow measurements occur under __________________ conditions. correct answer:...

Fission correct answer: A neutron interaction in which a nucleus absorbs a neutron, splits into two new nuclei and releases a large amount of energy; the resulting fission fragments emit neutrons and gamma rays and then undergo radioactive decay Turbines correct answer: A device with rotating b...

ACCELERATING POWER correct answer: In a GENERATOR, the difference between the MECHANICAL INPUT POWER and the electrical outputPOWER (assuming no LOSSES). For a GENERATOR's TORQUE ANGLE to change, the GENERATORmust have accelerating POWER. ACCUMULATED INADVERTENT correct answer: The accumulatio...

Identify ways a core can fail correct answer: The primary cause of core failure is an inability to fully remove the heat created by the fuel due to the following: 1. A failure of the heat removal systems 2. An increase of heat created beyond the ability of the heat removal systems 3. The ina...

Why is civil engineering important in power plants? correct answer: Their main function is to maintain structural integrity of structures, systems, and components. Describe the design criteria and requirements for sites correct answer: - Soil structure interaction - Soil stability - Excavati...

Most flow measurements occur under_______ flow conditions correct answer: Turbulent Full compensation of remote reading thermometer would typically be a provided by a: correct answer: Secondary capillary An increase in the viscosity of a liquid will result in a _______ Reynolds number correc...
