Earthing or Grounding MCQs

Show Answers

Correct options are highlighted when revealed.

1.What determines the appropriate size of the earth or grounding conductor?

The highest fault current that the grounding conductor must handleThe service line's rated current capacityThe resistance level of the surrounding soilA combination of both the maximum fault current and the soil resistance

2.What is the primary purpose of providing grounding in electrical systems?

Solely to protect the electrical devicesExclusively to ensure the safety of the usersTo safeguard both the equipment and the personnelIt serves no protective function

3.Which factors influence the resistance of soil?

4.What is the primary purpose of earthing or grounding in electrical systems?

To ensure the resistance to earth is as low as achievableTo maintain a very high resistance between the system and groundTo enable the passage of positive, negative, and zero sequence currentsNone of the listed options

5.Why must Extra High Voltage (EHV) equipment be isolated and grounded before maintenance work?

To ensure minimal resistance in the circuitTo safely release the stored capacitive charge to earthTo safeguard the technicians performing the maintenanceBoth to discharge the capacitive charge and to protect personnel

6.In an ungrounded 3-phase system, what happens to the voltage of the two unaffected phases during a single line-to-ground fault?
