Technical Trainee Officer (TTO) - Interview Questions & Answers

1. What is the difference between AC and DC?

AC (Alternating Current) changes direction periodically and is used for power transmission. DC

(Direct Current) flows in one direction and is used in batteries and electronics.

2. How does a capacitor work?

A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between two plates. It charges and discharges, used in

filters, timers, and power supplies.

3. What is Ohm's Law?

Ohm's Law states V = I × R, where V is voltage, I is current, and R is resistance.

4. What is PWM and where is it used?

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is used to control power to devices like motors and LEDs by varying

pulse width.

5. Why are transistors used in circuits?

Transistors amplify signals and act as electronic switches. They are used in logic circuits, amplifiers,

and power control.

6. Why is AC used instead of DC for power transmission?

AC is used because it can be easily stepped up/down using transformers, reducing power loss over

long distances.

7. What are active and passive components?

Active components (like transistors) need power to work and can amplify signals. Passive

components (like resistors) do not need power and cannot amplify signals.

8. What are harmonics in a circuit?

Harmonics are voltage/current waveforms at multiples of the fundamental frequency, caused by

non-linear loads, leading to overheating and distortion.


9. What is a protection system?

It detects and isolates faults to protect equipment and ensure safety. Includes relays, circuit

breakers, and fuses.

10. What is a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker automatically disconnects power during faults like overload or short circuit to

protect the system.

11. What is a smart grid?

A smart grid is an advanced power grid using sensors, communication, and automation to manage

electricity efficiently.

12. What is net metering?

Net metering allows users with solar panels to feed excess electricity back to the grid and receive

credit.

13. What is the difference between a relay and a circuit breaker?

A relay detects a fault and sends a signal, while a circuit breaker physically opens the circuit to stop

power flow.

14. What is corona discharge?

Corona discharge is ionization of air around high-voltage conductors, leading to energy loss, sound,

and light.

15. Difference between microgrid and smart grid?

A microgrid is a small, local energy system that can operate independently. A smart grid is a large,

intelligent power distribution system.
