TARIFF

Q. What is tariff ? 
A. The rate at which the electrical energy is supplied to the consumers is known as tariff. 
Q. What are the objectives of tariff ? 
A.  => recovery of cost for producing electrical energy. 
      => recovery of cost on the capital investment. 
      => earn suitable profit on capital investment. 
      => recovery of cost due to operation and maintenance. 
Q. What consideration should be taken during applying a tariff system ? 
A. => proper  return
     =>  fairness
     => simplicity
     => reasonable profit
     => attractive
Q. Classify the tariff system . 
A. => simple tariff
     => flat rate tariff
     => block rate tariff
     => two part tariff
     => maximum demand tariff
     => power factor tariff
     => three part tariff
Q. Classify the power factor tariff .
A. => KVA maximum demand tariff
    => sliding scale tariff
    => KW and KVAR tariff
Q. Which tariff is also known as uniform rate tariff ? 
A. Simple rate tariff.
Q. Which tariff system is based on classes of consumers ? 
A. Flat rate tariff. 
Q. In which tariff system charged per unit is constant ? 
A. Simple or uniform rate tariff. 
Q. On which running charges depends ? 
A. It depends on kwh i.e. Number of units consumed by the consumers. 
Q. Which is most suitable tariff system for any type of consumers ? 
A. Three part tariff. 
Q. Which tariff system is normally employed for residential and small commercial consumers ? 
A. Block rate tariff. 
Q. Where two part tariff is used ? 
A. For industrial consumers. 
Q. Which tariffs can be used for big industrial consumers ? 
A.  => maximum demand tariff
     => power factor tariff
     => three part tariff
Q. What is the relation between power factor and apparent power ? 
A. Apparent power is inversely proportional to power factor i.e. KVA ∞ 1/cosø . 
Q. Why price per unit for first and second blocks of energy is high ?
A. Because the fixed cost , charged on each consumer is merged into the running charges for these two blocks . 
Q. On which fixed charges depends ? 
A. Maximum demand of the consumers . 
Q. Why consumers having low power factor have to pay more charges ? 
A. Low factor of the load means that the load draws more reactive power from the supply line, so the respective consumers  have to pay more charges . 
Q. For low power factor a consumer have to pay _______charges. 
A. More
Q. Uniform tariff system is ________tariff system . 
A. Simplest . 
Q. The flat rate per kwh for ________is less than________load . 
A. Power , lighting load
Q. Different  classes of consumers are divided  based on__________and_________factor. 
A. Diversity , load
Q. Cost of generation is reduced as load factor is ___________ . 
A. Increased
