Operation of Generators

If we have a generator with 4 poles, how many rpm does it need to give 60Hz?
1800 rpm
1200 rpm
900 rpm

How many degrees are there between the phases in a 3-phase generator?
120 degrees
90 degrees
60 degrees
180 degrees

Normally the power factor on the generator is?

0,8-0,9
0,9-1,0
0,6-0,7

Where will you find the instruments for synchronising the generator?
On the main switch board
On the generator
On the diesel engine
On the circuit breaker

What does it mean if the synchronising lamp rotation is counter-clockwise?

Generator frequency is to slow relative to main bus
Generator frequency is to fast relative to main bus
The voltage is wrong, but the frequency is correct

How many % of nominal voltage is required before main circuit breaker can be
connected to main bus bar?
70%
90%
50%
80%

What is the minimum requirement of isolation resistance for a 440V system?

440 kilo Ohm
220 kilo Ohm
No requirement at all
600 kilo Ohm

What will happen if Load dependent start/stop of generator sets is in auto mode?
It will start/stop the generator sets in response to varying load
It will start/stop the generator sets in response to fuel consumption
It will start but never stop the generator sets in response to varying load
It will stop but never start the generator sets in response to varying load
