98 Generator Operator Questions And Answers
82⟩ Explain me in flight, how many attempts will the autostart perform?
The autostart will make continuous start attemps until the engine either starts or the pilot aborts the start attempt. FCOM 1 70.20.7
83⟩ Tell me why do we use compensation windings?
Compensation windings are used to neutralize the cross magnetizing effect of armature reaction.
84⟩ Explain me what is a feedback in Control System?
The Feedback in Control System in one in which the output is sampled and proportional signal is fed back to the input for automatic correction of the error ( any change in desired output) for futher processing to get back the desired output.
85⟩ Tell me what is your long-term career goal?
I saw myself in many era at last ten years, during at successful project work and troubleshooting of VFD machine.
86⟩ Tell us what is Holding current?
When scr is conducting current in forward conduction state, scr will return to forward blocking state when the anode current or forward current falls below a low level called Holding current
Note: Latching current and Holding current are not same. Latching current is associated with the turn on process of the scr whereas holding current is associated with the turn off process. In general holding current will be slightly lesser than the latching current.
87⟩ Explain me what is the function of brushes?
The purpose of brushes is simply to lead current from the rotating loop or winding to the external stationary load.
88⟩ Explain me what is lock out tag out?
It is a procedure that is used for the protection of the workers and the equipments during the maintenance or repair of the power plant.
89⟩ Do you know what is commutation?
The currents in the coils connected to a brush are either all towards the brush (positive brush) or all directed away from the brush (negative brush). Therefore, current in a coil will reverse as the coil passes a brush. The reversal of current in a coil as the coil passes the brush axis is called commutation.
90⟩ Tell me why do you want a career as a Power Plant Operator?
Beeing an Engineer, I have to serve my nation with my engineering skills, with out the power nothing we achieved so I choosed this as my career.
91⟩ Tell me how many ignitors are used for in flight starting?
Dual ignitors are always used for in flight starts. FCOM 1 70.20.8
92⟩ Tell me do you remember your steam tables?
They measure pressure through temperature, volume of water and steam and amount of energy used by water during vaporization and vice versa.
93⟩ Tell us why are you the best power plant operator for us?
Say them about your skills and the experience you have in this field. Say them that your resourceful knowledge can prove as an asset for the company.
94⟩ Tell us when is the auto-relight function activated?
Whenever an engine is at or below idle with the fuel control switch in RUN. FCOM 1 70.20.8
95⟩ Explain me how important is safety to you?
Safety comes first to me. If a safe environment is ensure inside the factory area, productivity will definitely increase proportionately as workers will get a comfortable place to work in.
96⟩ Do you know what is ACSR cable and where we use it?
ACSR means Aluminium conductor steel reinforced, this conductor is used in transmission & distribution.
97⟩ Tell me what is the role of a Commutator?
The function of commutator is to facilitate the collection of current from armature conductors. It converts the alternating current induce in the armature conductors into unidirectional current in the external load circuit.
98⟩ Do you know what is 2 phase motor?
A two phase motor is a motor with the the starting winding and the running winding have a phase split. e.g;ac servo motor.where the auxiliary winding and the control winding have a phase split of 90 degree.
