The potential of this thermocouple bridge is zero if all connections are kept at the same temperature. Why is the indication of the potentiometer zero ?

Because of the second balancing couple B.
Because the connections in A and B and in C and D are opposed
Because A and B couples are opposed.
Because of the copper (Cu) calibration wiring connected to C and D.

Generator 1 and 2 are working in parallel. Prime-mover 2 suffers a total fuel loss. The likely outcome is:

No.1 machine overloads and trips out on overspeed
No.2 generator trips on reverse power
No.1 machine overspeeds and trips out on overload
Generatorset 2 trips on reverse speed

Indicate the correct characteristic of the amplifier 'A'.

A voltage gain greater than 100,000
A frequency range less than 1kHz
An output impedance greater than 10,000 Ohm
An input impedance lower than 1,000 Ohm

Before taking insulation resistance readings of generator windings the automatic voltage regulators should be isolated and all semiconductor short circuited or disconnected in order to:

Prevent damage to sensitive electronic components from high voltage tester
Prevent charging of capacitive components within the automatic voltage regulator causing false regulation when generator restarts
Protect insulation resistance tester from being damaged
Prevent operation of automatic voltage regulator during insulation testing
