How far is your home from the institute?
Are you a day-scholar or a hosteller?
What is your greatest strength?
How can you justify it?

What is the function of an isolator?
Why only 3 phase?
Why not 4 phase & 5 phase?
What are the different types of Circuit Breakers?
Which is the latest one?
Is the voltage distribution on a string insulator same throughout?
If not, then how to equalise it?
How would u decide between whether to use a 2 winding transformer or an autotransformer?
How can u define the efficiency of a transformer?
Why are the generating voltages limited to 33 kV?
If now-a-days we have High voltage insulation systems say XLPE which take up very little space, then why don’t we go for higher generating voltages?

Why is the symbol of that very shape?
