Q: What is the primary function of a Residual Current Device (RCD) in house wiring?

To protect against electric shock by quickly disconnecting the circuit in the event of a fault. — RCDs detect and interrupt leakage currents, preventing electric shock.

Q: In a three-phase motor, what determines the direction of rotation?

The phase sequence of the power supply. — Changing the phase sequence reverses the magnetic field rotation, thus changing motor direction.

Q: What is the purpose of a Star-Delta starter in motor control?

To reduce the starting current drawn by the motor. — It lowers starting current by initially connecting the motor windings in a star configuration.

Q: What is the typical voltage supplied by an IPS (Inverter Power Supply) during a power outage?

240V AC, similar to the main supply. — IPs usually provide 220V/230V/240V AC to power the connected load during power failure.

Q: What component is essential for storing energy in a typical solar power system?

Batteries. — Batteries store the DC electricity generated by the solar panels for later use.

Q: What is the main function of a charge controller in a solar power system?

To regulate the voltage and current flowing into the batteries. — It prevents overcharging and undercharging of the batteries.

Q: What type of wiring system is commonly used in modern residential buildings?

Conduit wiring. — Conduit wiring provides protection for conductors and flexibility for future modifications.

Q: What is the purpose of an earth wire (ground wire) in house wiring?

To provide a low-resistance path for fault currents to flow to earth. — It's a safety measure, providing a path for fault currents to trip the circuit breaker.

Q: In motor control, what does 'DOL' refer to?

Direct Online starter. — Direct-on-line starters apply full line voltage directly to the motor at start-up.

Q: What is the main function of a capacitor in a single-phase induction motor?

To provide a starting torque by creating a phase shift. — It creates a phase shift between the main and auxiliary windings, generating torque.
