Selection preparation

Check the specific role’s official posting and recruiter instructions for eligibility and selection stages. Technical discussion, project explanation, aptitude and behavioral practice may be useful, but this guide does not verify a fixed sequence of company interview rounds.

What to revise

Original practice questions

These are preparation examples, not questions attributed to this employer.

  1. What is the principle of operation of a transformer? A transformer operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is used to change the voltage levels in an AC circuit.

  2. Explain the difference between a synchronous and an asynchronous motor. A synchronous motor runs at a constant speed within its stable load range at a fixed supply frequency, while an asynchronous motor's speed varies with the load.

  3. What are the types of power losses in a transmission line? Power losses in a transmission line include resistive (I²R) losses, corona loss and insulation/leakage-related losses; radiation is generally negligible for ordinary power-frequency line-loss analysis.

  4. How does a PID controller work? A PID controller calculates an error value as the difference between a desired setpoint and a measured process variable, and applies a correction based on proportional, integral, and derivative terms.

  5. What is the function of a rectifier? A rectifier converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC), which is essential for powering DC devices.

  6. Describe the working of a circuit breaker. A circuit breaker is a safety device that automatically stops the flow of electricity in a circuit as a protection against overload or short circuit.
