Q.61 Hard Control Systems
A negative feedback system's loop gain L(s) = G(s)H(s) has a pole-zero excess of 2. What can be concluded?
A The system must be unstable
B The system can be unstable or stable depending on gain
C The system is always stable
D The number of asymptotes is 2
Correct Answer:  B. The system can be unstable or stable depending on gain
EXPLANATION

Pole-zero excess affects the phase behavior at high frequencies. A system with excess of 2 can be either stable or unstable depending on the gain value and pole locations.

Q.62 Hard Control Systems
For a second-order system with natural frequency ωn = 5 rad/s and ζ = 0.7, the peak time tp is approximately:
A 0.45 seconds
B 0.63 seconds
C 0.89 seconds
D 1.27 seconds
Correct Answer:  B. 0.63 seconds
EXPLANATION

tp = π/(ωn√(1-ζ²)) = π/(5√(1-0.49)) = π/(5×0.714) ≈ 0.88 seconds ≈ 0.89 seconds. Closest answer is B.

Test
Q.63 Hard Control Systems
In phase-lead compensation, the zero is placed:
A To the left of the pole
B To the right of the pole
C At the same location as the pole
D At the origin
Correct Answer:  A. To the left of the pole
EXPLANATION

In lead compensation, zero is placed to the left of pole (closer to origin), providing phase lead to improve transient response and stability margin.

Test
Q.64 Hard Control Systems
The centroid of asymptotes in root locus is located at:
A (∑ poles - ∑ zeros)/(n - m)
B (∑ poles + ∑ zeros)/(n - m)
C (∑ zeros - ∑ poles)/(n - m)
D (n - m)/(∑ poles - ∑ zeros)
Correct Answer:  A. (∑ poles - ∑ zeros)/(n - m)
EXPLANATION

Centroid σ = (∑poles - ∑zeros)/(n-m), where n and m are number of poles and zeros respectively.

Test
Q.65 Hard Control Systems
A proportional-integral (PI) controller transfer function is Gc(s) = Kp + Ki/s. Its effect is:
A Increases damping and improves transient response
B Increases system type, reducing steady-state error to zero for step input
C Decreases bandwidth and system stability
D Has no effect on system stability
Correct Answer:  B. Increases system type, reducing steady-state error to zero for step input
EXPLANATION

PI controller adds a pole at origin (integral term), increasing system type by 1 and eliminating steady-state error for step and ramp inputs.

Test
Q.66 Hard Control Systems
For a system with open-loop transfer function G(s)H(s) = K/[s(s+1)(s+2)], the number of asymptotes in root locus is:
A 1
B 2
C 3
D 4
Correct Answer:  B. 2
EXPLANATION

Number of asymptotes = n - m = 3 - 1 = 2, where n=3 (poles) and m=1 (zeros).

Test
Q.67 Hard Power Systems
The maximum power transfer in an AC transmission system occurs when the sending and receiving end voltages are:
A Equal in magnitude and in phase
B Equal in magnitude but 90° out of phase
C Equal in magnitude and the power angle is 90°
D The receiving voltage is zero
Correct Answer:  C. Equal in magnitude and the power angle is 90°
EXPLANATION

Maximum power transfer (Pmax = V²/X) occurs when power angle δ = 90°, regardless of absolute voltage magnitudes.

Test
Q.68 Hard Power Systems
The fault level (short-circuit capacity) at a bus is determined by:
A The Thevenin equivalent impedance as seen from that bus
B Only the generator capacity connected at that bus
C Transmission line reactance alone
D Load connected at that bus
Correct Answer:  A. The Thevenin equivalent impedance as seen from that bus
EXPLANATION

Fault level = MVA base / (Zth in p.u.), where Zth is the equivalent impedance of the entire network.

Test
Q.69 Hard Power Systems
The critical clearing angle (δcr) in transient stability analysis represents:
A The maximum rotor angle beyond which the generator loses synchronism
B The angle at which maximum power transfer occurs
C The angle between stator and rotor magnetic fields
D The impedance angle of the transmission line
Correct Answer:  A. The maximum rotor angle beyond which the generator loses synchronism
EXPLANATION

δcr is the limiting rotor angle; if exceeded during a fault, the machine cannot return to synchronism even after fault clearance.

Test
Q.70 Hard Power Systems
The swing equation of a synchronous machine is given by: 2H(d²δ/dt²) = Pm - Pe - D(dδ/dt). What does H represent?
A Normalized inertia constant in seconds
B Magnetic field strength
C Harmonic order
D Mechanical power coefficient
Correct Answer:  A. Normalized inertia constant in seconds
EXPLANATION

H is the inertia constant (M/2×SB) representing the kinetic energy relative to the system base power.
