v=square root 2G*H
a choke provides fixed flow control
true
the electrical analog output of the tlc is like the transmitters output
2 to 20 milliamp signal
the rate at which the small plunger of the compensating dashpot returns to normal is usually determined by the setting of the
needle valve
the compensating dashpot serves to prevent over-travel or hunting of the gates by
re-centering the pilot valve

zero ohms
power factor measures
the watts over volts ampers
in absents of a power factor meter power factor of a load can be determined by a
watt meter, amp meter, volt meter
thermocouple produces a flow of current when the junction is
heated
the speed in which the syncroscope indicator is rotating is affected by
Look up
the steel core of an acsr conductor does not
carry any appraisable load current
suspension type insulators have the ability to withstand
flash over, thermoshock, and mechanical impact
thyrite would most likely be used with
valve type lightning arresters
what is not an advantage of hvdc transmission lines
overall insolation requirement may be based on the peak rather than actual voltage
the control area =
one or more systems operating with metering and control facilities on all its ties to other systems outside the control area
the combine governor action and inertia of all generating units connected to a system is used to establish proper
frequency bias setting for that control area
incremental loading mainly refers to
the economical generation of electrical energy
the process where two systems not directly tied together may exchange electrically energy with each other through a third system to which they are mutually connected
wheel energy

north, feet
structural drawings show: framework, floors, and ____
foundations
supervisory control systems differ mainly from other classes of control systems
in the manner in which commands are transmitted and received
the reproduction at convenient location of measurement made at remote point is called
telemetering
in comparing the merit of analog telemetering with those of digital telemetering it would be correct to say
undetectable errors can be introduced at all points in an analog but only at the send end of a digital system
an intra plant telephone circuit when arranged so that either the transmitter or receiver can be switched from the circuit when not in use is called
push to talk arrangement
