The series capacitor is conected to compensate for the line inductance and thus decrease the line reactance so that more power can be tranferred through the line (EV/X sin(delta)) and thus the system stability can be increased.

Earth has the constant potential so we take it as reference.but in steo & touch voltage we use to calculate voltage of ground in 30 inch. How it is possible if no current can flow through ground?
Rahulshelke
- Jul 12th, 2010
During fault to have shortest resistance path is ground. Hence current flows through ground. hence we take 30inch during calculation.Voltage difference is created and current flows.

Dr. Raman

This is not a correct question. If an interviewer asks you, you should ask in return what kind of transistor are you talking about? Is it MOSFET, BJT, THYRISTOR etc. All semiconductor transistors are used as switching devices depending upon the application.

Measure Earth Resistance
How earth resistance is measured? What should be its value?
soulzangel
- Oct 4th, 2010
Earth resisitance can be measured using megger or earth tester and thr resisitance of proper earthing must always be less than 10 ohms and for sensitive installations such as very sensitive communication and computer systems about 2 ohms is recommended.
veerateja

Earth resistance is measured by means of earth tester or megger. The earth resistance must and should be less than 0 to 5 ohms. If it is above the 5 ohms we say earth resistance is not good.
