1In a typical electric power system, the distribution network is the portion that:
A.Generates electricity in the power plant only
B.Carries bulk power over hundreds of kilometres at extra-high voltage only
C.Delivers electrical energy from substations to consumers at medium and low voltage
D.Stores energy in batteries for later use only
Explanation: Distribution is the last stage of the power system: energy leaves primary substations and is delivered to consumers on medium-voltage (HT) feeders and low-voltage (LT) networks.
2On Indian distribution systems, LT supply to most domestic consumers is commonly provided at about:
A.11 kV three-phase only
B.230 V single-phase / 400 V three-phase
C.66 kV only
D.220 kV only
Explanation: Low-tension consumer supply in India is typically about 230 V single-phase and 400 V three-phase (phase-to-phase), stepped down by distribution transformers from HT feeders.
3A radial distribution feeder is best described as a feeder that:
A.Supplies consumers from a single path with power flowing outward from the source
B.Always has two independent sources feeding every consumer simultaneously
C.Exists only underground and never overhead
D.Is used only for railway traction
Explanation: In a radial system, feeders branch outward from the source; each section is normally fed from one path, which is simple but less reliable than ring or networked schemes if a fault occurs.
4PCC poles used on distribution lines are primarily made of:
A.Pre-stressed cement concrete
B.Solid copper only
C.Glass fibre only
D.Aluminium foil only
Explanation: PCC poles are pre-stressed cement concrete poles widely used on HT/LT distribution for strength, durability, and reduced maintenance compared with untreated wood.
5ACSR conductor stands for:
A.Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced
B.All Copper Soft Ribbon
C.Asbestos Covered Steel Rod
D.Alternating Current Series Relay
Explanation: ACSR is Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced: outer aluminium strands carry current while a steel core provides tensile strength for long spans.
6Pin-type insulators on distribution lines are mainly used to:
A.Support and insulate conductors from the cross-arm or pole structure
B.Generate reactive power for voltage control
C.Measure energy consumed by the customer
D.Cool the distribution transformer oil
Explanation: Pin insulators mechanically support the conductor and electrically isolate it from the earthed pole or cross-arm on distribution voltages where pin construction is suitable.
7Before climbing a distribution pole for work, a lineman should first:
A.Inspect the pole, climb path, tools, and PPE for obvious defects and secure footing
B.Touch the live conductor bare-handed to confirm voltage
C.Remove the safety belt so movement is unrestricted
D.Ignore weather if work is urgent
Explanation: Safe climbing starts with inspection of pole condition (lean, cracks, rot, attachments), climb path, tools, and PPE. Never touch live parts bare-handed; keep fall protection on.
8The safest general rule before touching a conductor that should be dead is:
A.Assume it is dead if the line looks quiet
B.Isolate the source, prove absence of voltage with an approved tester, then apply temporary earths as required
C.Throw a wet cloth over it and wait ten seconds
D.Touch it quickly with the back of the hand only
Explanation: Safe de-energised work follows isolate/lock-out, test for absence of voltage, then temporary earthing. Appearance alone never proves a line is dead.
9An industrial safety helmet (hard hat) worn by a lineman primarily protects against:
A.Hearing loss from transformers
B.Impact and falling objects striking the head
C.Ultraviolet radiation only
D.Magnetic fields from the earth
Explanation: Safety helmets protect the head from impacts, falling tools/hardware, and some electrical/arc hazards depending on rating. They are mandatory PPE for line work.
10Electrical safety footwear for line work should be:
A.Open-toe sandals for comfort
B.Insulating or safety shoes suited to electrical work with closed toe and good grip
C.Bare feet for better balance on poles
D.Any soft slipper from home
Explanation: Closed-toe electrical safety footwear with suitable insulation/grip protects against shock, puncture, and slips. Open footwear is forbidden on sites.
