POWER SYSTEMS-I
(Electrical and Electronics Engineering)
Time: 3 Hours Max Marks: 70
Note: This Question Paper contains two Parts A and B
• Part A is compulsory which carries 10 marks. Five questions from six units. Answer all questions
in Part A at one place only.
• Part-B consists of 6 Questions (numbered from 2 to 13) carrying 10 marks each. Each of these
questions is from one unit and may contain a, b, c as sub-questions. For each question there will
be an either/or choice (that means there will be two questions from each unit and the student
should answer only one question).
