One of my Blog reader Arjun wants to share some great important things with us. I appreciate his wish to help others.

Arjun Says:

I am Arjun, I have attended the Power grid interview on 3-Nov-2008 at Bhubaneshwar. I like to share some of the questions that I have faced in the interview.

The Interview panel comprises a team of 6 persons, as this interview is for the post of AE to work under Rural Electrification projects in the states of West Bengal and Orissa, apart from the Technical skills they looked for knowledge in Hindi also. As the work comprises mostly of construction of Distribution sub-statation and Distribution of the supply. They very much concentrated on the Power systems and they also posed questions in the Power Electronics.

On an average the interview will go around half-an-hour as said earlier they looking for both Hindi and Technical skills in the Candidate. I am posting some questions here which I have faced in the interview. Hope it will be useful for the people who are atteninding the interviews.

1) What is a Triode? What are its uses?
2) What is a Triac?
3) What is a Thyristor?
4) What is the HVDC Transmission System?
5) What are the conditions applicable to lay an HVDC Line?
6) Does Conveter and Inveter has same ckt? Explain.
7) Why do we use only Sinusoidal Wave in AC supply why not the Square,Triangle or Sawtooth etc?
8) What constraints regarding the HVDC Transmission System?
9) Explain the Local Distribution System?
10) What are the different types of transformers present in the Transmission and Distribution system?
11) How would you supply a single house hold load from a 3-phase supply coming out of a sub-station?
12) How would you supply power to a village which is very far from a sub-station and has only a 11kV line running near by?
13) What are the important structures of a local Distribution System?
14) Name any Five Major Rivers of country?( we should answer in Hindi)
15) Name the Person who became President of India from A.P?(In Hindi)
16) Name the Person who became P.M of India form A.P? (In Hindi)
17) Name the Famous Power Plants present in A.P? (In Hindi)
18) Are you willing to work in the rural Areas of Orissa?

They may ask question on your native place,name,college etc., to test our language skills and confidence levels in answering it.

Thank you Raju for giving  me this oppurtunity, hope in future I can contribute more for this site.

Regards,
Arjun
