31.
Solid type cables are not considered suitable for operating voltage is exceeding 66 kV because
(a) Skin effect dominates on the conductor
(b) There is danger of breakdown of insulation because of formation of voids in the layer of dielectric
(c) There is a corona loss between conductor and sheath material
(d) Insulation may melt due to heating
Answer:

Option (b)

32.
In a three core extra high voltage cable, a metallic screen around each core insulation is provided to
(a) Facilitate heat dissipation
(b) Give mechanical strength
(c) Obtain radial electric stress
(d) Obtain longitudinal electric stress
Answer:

Option (c)

33.
The operating voltage and consequently the electric stress on the dielectric of solid type cable is increased from a low value, the dielectric power factor remains almost unchanged up to a certain value of the stress beyond which it increases very rapidly. This is due to increase in
