PSP Part 11, MCQ#1

Statement: Certain power system has phase to ground capacitance and inductance values 5 µF and 10 H respectively. If a magnetising current of 50 A is to be interrupted what is the value of voltage appearing across contacts of circuit breaker:

  1. 35.2 kV
  2. 70.7 kV
  3. 125 kV
  4. 175 kV

Correct answer: 70.7 kV

Formula:

v = i * √(L/C) = 50 A * √(10/5uF) = 70,710 V = 70.7 kV
