WELCOME KS – Electrical &Automation

Do you want to become an electrical an automation engineer ?

English Edition e –book


Author - Kaushlesh Shukla Contact no - 9918184298

The most popular questions and answers are given in this article, Electrical and Automation
engineers are asked by companies .

{So Please read carefully the question and answer given in this e- book}

This e-book divided into Four part .


1- Electrical Question Answer.
2- Automation Question Answer.
3- IOT (internet of thing) Industrial Communication .
4- Instrumentation Question and Answer.
Q1 - What is MCB , type and protection ?
ANS - MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker. It is manually and automatically electrical switch.

Types of MCB KS -Electrical & automation


(A) Base on Pole .
(B) Base on Tripping Characteristics
B ase on Pole
Single Pole
Double Pole
Three Pole
Four Pole
B ase on Tripping Characteristics
Type Tripping Current Operating Time
Type B 3 To 5 Times the full load current 0.04 To 13 Sec
Type C 5 To 10 Times the full load current 0.04 To 5 Sec
Type D 10 To 20 Times the Full load current 0.04 To 3 Sec
Type K 8 To 12 Times the full load current < 0.1 Sec

Protection – MCB is an electro-mechanical device which is protects the electrical


circuit in case of sorts circuit and overload faults.
Voltage - 220V T0 415V
Current rating - 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A , 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, 63A, 100A
Frequency - 50HZ

Q2- What is fuse, types and protection ?


ANS- A fuse is a electric / electronic or mechanical device, which is used to protect from over current, overload and short circuit .
PROTECTION – Short circuit, overload and over current.
WORKING PRINCIPALE OF A FUSE – “Heating effect on Current”
SYMBOLS OF FUSE
TYPE OF FUSE KS -Electrical & automation

AC DC
> Range of ac voltage fuse – 250V AC to 650V AC > Range of dc voltage fuse – 12V DC to 24V DC

Q3-Different between MCB and Fuse ?


ANS- Main different between MCB and fuse ?
MCB FUSE
A. MCB working as a switch. Fuse is a not working as switch .
B. MCB is an electro-mechanical device. Fuse is a electric / electronic and mechanical device.
C. MCB is a manually and automatically operated devise. Fuse is a only automatically devise .
D. MCB can be reused after than clearance of fault . Fuse other than rewireable fuses cannot be reused.
E. Tripping time for MCB is 20ms. Fuse acts faster than MCB. Tripping time 2ms.
F. Can protect against shorts circuit and overload . Can protect against shorts circuit and overload .
G. Fuses are very cheaper compared to MCB.

Q4- What is MCCB, type and protection?


ANS- MCCB stands for Molded Case Circuit Breaker. It is type of electrical protection device that is used to protect
the electrical circuit from excessive current, which can case overload or short circuit.
TYPES

Base on type Base on pole Base on tripping


Type C, Type B, type K, Type Z 3 pole , 4 pole Thermal magnetic type and microprocessor.
Q-5 What is relay, type and protection ?

ANS - Relay is an electromechanical devices that can be used to make or break an electrical connection . KS -Electrical & automation
Working principal of relay : It is work on electromagnetic attraction ( AC 220V), (DC 5V,12V, 24V)
Type of relay : Thermal overload relay
Electromechanical relay
Solid State relay
Polarized relay

Pole and throw combinations :

1 -Single pole , Single throw (SPST )

2 - Single pole , Double throw ( SPDT )

3- Double pole, single throw (DPST)

4- Double Pole , Double throw (DPST)

Q6- What is contactor , Type ?


ANS- A contactor is an electrical device witch is used for switching an electrical circuit on or off.
type – ( Single phase AC 220V) , And ( Three phase AC 440V )

Q7- Different between relay and contactor ?


RELAY CONTACTOR
Relay is used for control circuit application. Contactor is used for power circuit .
Relay is a limited current rating . Contactor is used high current rating.
Relay is small size . Contactor is a large size .
It come with a rating from 5 – 20Amps . While power contactor generally comes with from 9-600Amps …
