Explanation:

CT does not have a primary winding but the line acts as primary over which we wound the secondary winding. So primary current is line current.

If CT is OC, then secondary current is 0 and there is no secondary flux to oppose primary flux due to which flux becomes very high and then very high emf is induced in secondary and cause residual magnetism in the core which will increase phase angle error.

PT is connected with line voltage and its load current in dependent on the burden. When we connect load on secondary the secondary current flows and this tends to reduce primary flux but transformer is constant flux device so primary draws extra current from source to compensate the secondary flux.

Q#65 Power System Generation GATE EE 2024 MSQ +2 marks -0 marks

Which of the following options is/are correct for the Automatic Generation Control (AGC) and Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) installed with synchronous generators?

AGC response has a local effect on frequency while AVR response has a global effect on voltage.

AGC response has a global effect on frequency while AVR response has a local effect on voltage.

AGC regulates the field current of the synchronous generator while AVR regulates the generator's mechanical power input.

AGC regulates the generator's mechanical power input while AVR regulates the field current of the synchronous generator.

Explanation:

AGC controls the steam input of the generator to regulate the power generated by the generating unit. But as soon as the output of one generating unit changes the output of other generating units must change to meet the load demand.

When the real power output of generating unit changes the frequency also changes as per droop characteristics and hence AGC has global effect of frequency.

AVR controls the excitation of a generating unit to maintain terminal voltage within specified limits. So AVR has local effect on voltage.
