Main ideas & lessons (structured by topics)

1) Studying strategy for exam short-answer questions (Day 1 intro)

  • The video compiles all short-answer questions that appeared on the Electrical Engineer practical (실기) exam, roughly from 2001 to 2024.
  • It’s organized by question type (about 400 questions total).
  • Suggested study approach:
    • Listen to explanations like “radio” while commuting, before sleep, showering, reading, etc.
    • Emphasize repetition as the key to memorization.
    • Use the textbook PDF linked in the pinned comment.

Electricity & Overhead/Underground Line Fundamentals (core exam content)

2) Overhead line insulation / overvoltage control (Q1-type section)

Main concept: identify causes of overvoltage and how to prevent it.

  • The text is partly garbled, but the lesson is clearly about overvoltage prevention mechanisms.
  • A “three-way prevention” is mentioned; the three elements appear related to grounding and system configuration.
  • Earthing/grounding concepts:
    • Overhead ground wire / lightning ground wire role: provides shielding and helps prevent lightning impact from reaching the system.
    • Grounding resistance should be small so fault current can drain effectively.
    • If resistance is high, add additional buried branch earth wires to reduce overall grounding resistance.

3) Overhead line sag degrees & risks (Q2 section)

  • Sag degree is used to assess risk.
  • The video lists multiple sag-related “degrees,” emphasizing that too much or too little sag creates different hazards:
    • Sag too large → vibration/contact risk with other overhead wires or during crossings (communication/road/rail).
    • Sag too small → increased mechanical tension/energy → wire break risk.

4) Dampers on ACSR conductors (Q3)

  • Dampers (especially for ACSR) are used to:
    • add mass/weight to absorb vibration energy
    • reduce oscillation caused by wind or impacts

5) Heavy ice/snow regions and corona design (Q4)

  • In icy regions, ice forms through melting and refreezing cycles.
  • Design assumptions mentioned:
    • ice thickness about 6 mm
    • ice specific gravity around 0.9
  • Compare ice types: light, low-density snow vs heavy ice.

6) Underground power line installation methods (Q5–Q7)

Three installation methods:

  • Direct burial
  • Pipe (duct) method
  • Culvert / underground tunnel (culvert-type)

Burial depth rule (intent):

  • Burial depth depends on the method and whether vehicle/pressure risk exists.
  • The video distinguishes cases where burial depth is 0.6 m vs 1 m, depending on method and pressure condition.
  • Underground cables are used (contrasted with bare/insulated overhead conductors).

7) Cable types & moisture-blocking (Q8)

  • Underground cables use key materials/types:
    • lead-coated cable type
    • aluminum-coated cable type
  • Both are described as effective at blocking moisture.

8) Underground vs overhead power line advantages/disadvantages (Q9)

Advantages:

  • Less exposure to weather (typhoons/rain) → reduced maintenance burden
  • Aesthetic improvements (less “suspended in air”)
  • Easier multi-line installation

Disadvantages:

  • Lower transmission capacity due to different heat dissipation (underground cooling is worse than overhead air exposure)
  • Higher construction cost and longer construction period (tunnels/ducts, excavation)
  • Fault detection and maintenance can be harder

9) Power conduits & cable fire prevention (Q10)

  • In conduits/tunnels, implement fire prevention:
    • wrap cables with flame-retardant tape
    • apply flame-retardant paint (described as “magic power” in the text)

Short-circuit / voltage regulation / busbar systems

10) Reducing system short-circuit capacity (Q11)

Methods list:

  • Increase impedance → reduces short-circuit current
  • Use a reactor (H-shaped reactor mentioned)
  • Split the system into zones → reduces accident scale and short-circuit current

11) Voltage boosting and loss scaling (Q12)

  • When voltage is boosted from V to 2V, the video explains how:
    • voltage drop and losses scale inversely with voltage (statements resembling 1/V and 1/V² relationships)
  • Takeaway: increasing voltage reduces voltage drop/loss rates.

12) Transformer substation busbar types & meaning of “ideal infinite bus” (Q13–Q16)

Busbar types (3 methods):

  • Single busbar
  • Double busbar (ring “Hwan” concept mentioned)
  • “Fantasy mothership / mother bus” naming used as a diagram memory aid

“Infinite bus” concept:

  • Treated as:
    • voltage magnitude and phase remain constant regardless of load change
    • “inertia constant” is described as the stability-maintaining property
    • implies infinite capacity

Double busbar advantages (Q15):

  • One busbar can be inspected/maintained while the other supplies power (service continuity)

Busbar switching circuit breaker purpose (Q16):

  • Allows inspection/operation without interrupting power by switching between busbars

Conductor configuration, corona, and flicker

13) Multi-conductor method vs single-conductor (Q17)

Four advantages (listed):

  • Increased transmission capacity (skin/“epidermal” effect reasoning)
  • Reduced losses (effective radius change)
  • Reduced inductance → improved stability
  • Other electromagnetic benefits mentioned (including reactance behavior)

Three disadvantages (mentioned):

  • Higher installation cost
  • Multiple wires interact/twist
  • Spacing/interactions introduce additional mechanical/electromagnetic constraints

14) Corona phenomenon & partial air breakdown (Q18)

  • Corona occurs when voltage exceeds air breakdown level near conductors/insulators.
  • Air near the conductor acts as an insulator until high voltage causes partial breakdown:
    • produces crackling arcs/sparks
    • generates ozone and electrical noise

15) Corona effects (Q19) and prevention (Q20)

Four corona impact points (essence):

  • current leakage into air → power loss
  • ozone accelerates wire corrosion
  • induction/disorder on communication lines
  • audible noise from discharge

Two prevention measures (Q20):

  • increase conductor radius (use thicker conductor)
  • use multi-conductor systems

16) Corona critical voltage formula factors (Q21–Q22)

Critical corona voltage depends on:

  • wire radius/diameter (thickness)
  • equivalent electrical distance
  • air density (relative air density)
  • temperature and weather coefficients

Key relationships described:

  • larger diameter → higher critical voltage
  • larger equivalent distance → higher critical voltage
  • higher altitude → lower atmospheric pressure → lower critical voltage
  • higher temperature → lower air density → lower critical voltage

17) Distribution line voltage adjustment methods (Q23)

Three methods:

  • Automatic voltage regulator (SVR)
  • Voltage boosting transformer
  • Power capacitor (reactive power compensation effect)

18) Network power supply method (Q24)

Four advantages:

  • parallel operation of multiple transformers keeps supply uninterrupted
  • improved reliability
  • low voltage fluctuation rate
  • good adaptability to load increases

19) Flicker/blinking and countermeasures (Q25–Q26)

Flicker basics:

  • occurs when supply voltage fluctuates significantly (often due to voltage drops and sudden load changes)

Supply-side countermeasures (3):

  • raise voltage automatically when it dips (SVR/boosting case)
  • use systems with large short-circuit capacity (more stable voltage)
  • use dedicated transformer for sensitive loads

Receiver-side/compensation concepts (3):

  • compensate the reactor component using capacitors
  • compensate transformer-related voltage boost components (offset boosting issues)
  • absorb load power fluctuations via appropriate reactive power compensation

Power factor correction (capacitors) & harmonics

20) Power factor improvement principle (Q27)

  • Loads often draw inductive reactive current.
  • Install capacitors in parallel to generate leading reactive current that cancels inductive reactive current.
  • Result:
    • reduced line current
    • improved power factor
    • reduced losses

21) Impact of worse power factor (Q28)

Three effects/penalties:

  • increased current → higher I²R loss → higher electricity cost
  • increased voltage drop/loss (due to current and reactive components)
  • overall inefficiency increases

22) Capacitor installation purposes (Q29)

Four purposes:

  • power factor improvement → reduce line current
  • reduce power loss (I²R)
  • reduce voltage drop
  • reduce apparent power demand → free capacity / reduce required supply power

23) Capacitor sizing & overcompensation (Q30–Q31)

  • Choose capacitor reactive power to match the load’s inductive reactive power (or slightly less).
  • If too large → overcompensation:
    • phase C can cause voltage rise
    • power factor can worsen again
    • harmonic issues may appear (generator/malfunction effects mentioned)

24) Harmonics caused by capacitors & series reactor solution (Q32–Q35)

  • Capacitor banks can generate harmonics (notably 5th harmonic context mentioned).
  • Solution: install a series reactor with the capacitor to behave like a filter.
  • Memory points:
    • theoretical required reactor relative to harmonic order
    • practical selection includes margin:
      • theory ~4%, practical ~6% (as stated)
    • similar approach for 3rd harmonic with larger margin:
      • ~11% theoretical, ~13% selected

25) Capacitor installation principles (Q35)

  • Core constraints (intent):
    • capacitor sizing must exceed the inductive part (text unclear about “ground,” but sizing logic is emphasized)
  • Avoid switching/fusing arrangements that reduce reliability
  • Use dedicated switching approach; direct connection on the main line is warned against due to switching surge and possible power factor drop if done improperly
  • When eliminating harmonics: use series reactor
  • Consider spacing/flamability (“oil sealing” and distance mentioned)

26) Capacitor bank equipment identification (Q36–Q38)

Exam-style components:

  • Circuit breaker

  • current-based control
  • voltage-based control
  • reactive compensation logic (leading reactive compensation)

30) Neutral point detection methods for capacitor bank protection (Q43)

  • NCS: current sensor (detects neutral current during faults)
  • NVS: neutral voltage sensor (detects unbalanced voltage between neutral points)

31) Motor load + capacitor overcompensation risk (Q44)

  • If capacitors cause excessively leading current:
    • motor magnetic flux increases abnormally
    • terminal voltage rises above rated value
    • can damage the motor

32) SVC (static VAR compensation) concept (Q45)

  • Uses thyristor switching for fast reactive power control:
    • parallel capacitors + shunt reactors controlled by high-speed switching
  • Purpose:
    • stabilize voltage fluctuations
    • suppress flicker

33) Harmonic current generation causes (Q46)

Three main causes:

  • transformer/motor excitation (magnetizing nonlinear behavior)
  • power electronic converters (inverters, converters, choppers)
  • arc furnace processes (industrial arcs)

34) Harmonics effects (Q47)

Four disadvantages:

  • equipment overheating / increased iron loss / mechanical/electrical stress
  • protective relay misoperation due to waveform distortion
  • communication line induction noise/data errors
  • neutral conductor overheating in 3-phase 4-wire systems (harmonic components add)

35) Harmonic suppression measures (Q48)

Five measures:

  • increase “pulse chopping” / reduce pulse width to smooth waveform
  • harmonic filters
  • series reactors (for capacitor harmonic suppression)
  • multi-conductor/bundling for corona suppression
  • delta transformer connection to trap/limit 3rd harmonic circulation

36) THD definition & calculation (Q49)

  • THD uses RMS values:
    • denominator: RMS of the fundamental component
    • numerator: RMS of harmonic components (sum of squares)
  • Video mentions an “external ratio” style memory approach.

Voltage unbalance limits (distribution systems)

37) Unbalance limits in single/three-phase systems (Q50–Q52)

Key limits stated:

  • Single-phase 3-wire system imbalance rate: ≤ 40%
  • Three-phase regulation: imbalance limit mentioned as ≤ 30%

Exceptions/special cases:

  • dedicated transformer cases (low voltage)
  • specific high-voltage/special conditions
  • using multiple dedicated transformers

Memory mnemonic (“dates” 2 vs 3):

  • relates to the equilibrium concept: distributing loads across phases/transformers to maintain balance

Low-voltage wiring and installation rules (Indoor cabling section)

38) Cable material selection (Q53)

  • Distinguish vinyl-clad vs chloroprene-rubber (“captive cable”) types
  • Use triangles/cross marks based on:
    • exposed vs concealed installation
    • voltage range (e.g., rules for 400 V and below mentioned)

39) Indoor low-voltage wiring methods (Q54–Q55)

Wiring permitted depending on environment, including:

  • cable construction
  • metal pipe
  • vinyl-clad conduit
  • cable tray construction

Conditions vary by whether installation is exposed/concealed and whether inspection is feasible.

40) When to omit switching devices (Q56)

Switch/disconnection device may be omitted in two cases:

  • switching is already included as part of the equipment structure
  • a dedicated branch circuit breaker exists for maintenance, so only that circuit is isolated

41) Distribution panel placement and design considerations (Q57–Q59)

Design considerations (5):

  • wiring method (2-wire vs 3-wire, etc.) affects voltage drop and circuit protection choices
  • load usage rate (simultaneous operation assumptions)
  • expansion allowance and spare capacity
  • route/path length affects voltage drop/power loss
  • inspection needs: add inspection ports during design

Panel installation rules (Q58):

  • one per floor
  • branch circuit length: ≤ 30 m
  • total circuit breaker count:
    • ≤ 42; if exceeded, split into two panels
  • mounting heights:
    • top ≈ 1.8 m
    • mid ≈ 1.4 m
    • bottom ≈ 1.0 m
  • separate commercial vs emergency power supplies (no crossover)

Outlet placement rules (Q59–Q60, partial):

  • avoid outlets in certain branching sections
  • minimum outlet rule by room area:
    • based on 5 m² steps with increasing counts
    • example direction: ≥ 15 m² → 3 outlets (text garbled, but the intent is area → minimum outlets)

42) Voltage drop limits and starting current exception (Q62)

  • Voltage drop limits differ by system (example):
    • lighting circuits: about 3% (and higher allowances in other situations)
  • Exception:
    • motor starting inrush allows exceeding limits (referenced “minimum table exceptions”)

43) Wiring accessories: boxes and conduits (Q63–Q64)

44) Time-of-use night power system (Q65)

  • Uses a time switch and a nighttime tariff meter
  • Night-only devices operate after a set time (e.g., after 10 PM) and are off by morning
  • Wiring/installation considerations follow similar branching and conduit rules

Lighting fundamentals (color temperature, color rendering, efficiency, types)

45) Blackbody & color temperature (Q66)

  • Kelvin is absolute temperature:
    • 0°C = 273.15 K
  • Approximate color temperatures:
    • ~2700 K: reddish
    • ~6500 K: daylight / bluish-white
  • Light color corresponds to blackbody temperature conceptually.

46) Color rendering (Q67)

  • Depends on how the lighting spectrum matches a standard (solar spectrum).
  • Color rendering index (CRI) concept:
    • higher CRI → closer to true object colors
    • lower CRI → more color distortion

47) Luminous efficiency / lighting efficiency (Q68)

  • Two related metrics:
    • lighting efficiency: emitted light energy / input power
    • luminous efficacy: luminous flux (lumens) vs input

48) Principles of light emission (Q69)

  • thermal radiation
  • electric luminescence (gas discharge)
  • deployment/luminescence (LED/semiconductor emission)

49) Photodegradation compensation rate (Q70)

50) Fixture light distribution categories (Q71)

  • Direct lighting
  • Semi-direct lighting
  • (The provided text ends mid-list; remaining items are not present.)
