Question
In an assessment of the quality of the electrical power system, one measure of quality is the degree to which voltage fluctuations cause light flicker in the system. The perception of light flicker x when the system is set
at 380kV was measured periodically (over 10-minute intervals). For transformers supplying heavy industry plants, suppose the light flicker distribution was found to follow (approximately) a normal distribution with
µ= 2.4% and o = 0.4. If the perception of light flicker exceeds 3.2%, the transformer is shut down and the system is reset. How likely is it for a transformer supplying a heavy industry plant to be shut down due to light
flicker?
