I appeared for an interview before Jun 2024, where I was asked the following questions.

  • Q1. What is the process for programming and wiring a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
  • Ans. 

    Programming and wiring a VFD involves setup, configuration, and connection to control systems for motor speed regulation.

    • Select the appropriate VFD based on motor specifications and application requirements.

    • Wiring involves connecting the VFD to the power supply, motor, and control devices (e.g., switches, sensors).

    • Configure the VFD parameters such as voltage, frequency, acceleration, and deceleration settings using the...

  • Q2. What are the differences in the wiring configurations of star and delta systems, particularly in the context of DOL (Direct-On-Line) starters?
  • Ans. 

    Star and delta configurations differ in wiring, affecting motor starting and torque characteristics in DOL starters.

    • Star configuration connects each motor winding to a common point, reducing voltage and current during startup.

    • Delta configuration connects windings in a loop, providing full voltage and higher starting torque.

    • DOL starters typically use star configuration for high starting current reduction in large motors...

  • Q3. What can you explain about control valves and PID controllers?
  • Ans. 

    Control valves regulate fluid flow, while PID controllers maintain desired process variables through feedback mechanisms.

    • Control valves adjust flow rate based on signals from controllers.

    • PID controllers use Proportional, Integral, and Derivative actions to minimize error.

    • Example: A control valve in a heating system regulates water flow to maintain temperature.

    • PID controllers are widely used in industrial automation for...

    A PID temperature indicator controls temperature by adjusting heating/cooling based on feedback from sensors.

    • PID stands for Proportional-Integral-Derivative, which are the three control modes used to adjust temperature.

    • The indicator receives input from temperature sensors and compares it to the desired temperature setpoint.

    • Based on the difference between the two, the PID controller adjusts the heating/cooling output to...

  • Q7. What is the degree of freedom of water at triple point?
  • Ans. 

    The degree of freedom of water at triple point is 0.

    • Triple point is the temperature and pressure at which solid, liquid, and gas phases of a substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium.

    • At triple point, the degree of freedom of a substance is zero because all three phases coexist in equilibrium.

    • Water has a triple point at 273.16 K (0.01 °C) and a pressure of 611.73 Pa.

    • At triple point, water can exist as ice, liquid w...

  • Q8. What is risk?
  • Q9. How would you calculate the power required for a pump?
  • Ans. 

    The power required for a pump can be calculated using the formula: Power = (Flow rate x Head) / Efficiency

    • Calculate the flow rate of the pump

    • Determine the head or pressure required

    • Consider the efficiency of the pump

    • Use the formula: Power = (Flow rate x Head) / Efficiency

    • Example: If the flow rate is 1000 liters per minute, the head is 50 meters, and the efficiency is 80%, the power required would be (1000 x 50) / 0.8 = ...
