Per Unit System

What is the per unit system?

• A method used in power system analysis to simplify calculations by normalizing quantities to a common base.

• A system used to measure power consumption in units of kilowatt-hours.

• A method used to convert AC power to DC power.

• A system used to measure power in units of volts.

Why is the per unit system used in power systems and electrical circuits?

• To simplify calculations and comparisons

• To reduce the efficiency of power systems and electrical circuits

• To increase the accuracy of calculations and comparisons

• To complicate calculations and comparisons

How is the per unit system different from other unit systems?

• The per unit system is used only in electrical engineering.

• The per unit system is based on the metric system.

• The per unit system is used for measuring time.

• The per unit system normalizes quantities in power system analysis.

What is the formula for converting values from actual values to per unit?

• Per Unit Value = Actual Value / Base Value

• Per Unit Value = Actual Value * Base Value

• Per Unit Value = Actual Value + Base Value

• Per Unit Value = Actual Value - Base Value

How is the per unit system used in transformer analysis?

• To convert the values of voltage, current, and impedance to different base values.

• To calculate the power loss in a transformer.

• To determine the efficiency of a transformer.

• To normalize the values of voltage, current, and impedance to a common base value.

In which part of the power system has the lowest voltage?

• Generation

• Distribution

• Transmission

• Grid

Transmission line usually have highest voltage in the components of power system.

• True

• False

Base impedance of the power system is given as:

• (Base kV)²/Base MVA

• (Base kV)/Base MVA

• Base MVA/(Base kV)²

• None of these
