Alternator capacity
Is it possible to increase the capacity of a synchronous generator upto 30% to 50% just to modify the cooling system but the other component remain same? Explain
Raman Jain
- Dec 3rd, 2009
Yes , one can increase the capacity by efficient cooling. This may be possible by modification in design , using better coolent etc.

Purpose of Earthing
What purpose does an earth serve on a generator terminals if the generator was started accidentally.This a true incident when the generator was started it blew the earth wire because the terminals were shorted and then earthed to ground. What is the point of earthing if it cannot save the generator or the personnel.

The earthing wire was not of proper size to bear the fault current & may be also the earthing was not done as per specification.

Cable Selection
What is the max current rating for a 4 core * 1mm^2 cable?
anilsabaji
- Jan 8th, 2010
It varies depending on the material and the Temperature rating of the cable. You can safely use it for 5-7 Amps though the maximum rating can be up to 12Amp.

Voltage Source
What would happen if two voltage sources of different magnitude are connect in parallel?
anilsabaji
- Jan 8th, 2010
If the two sources, say batteries with voltages V1 and V2, and internal resistance R1 & R2 are connected in Parallel, then a current equal to to (V1~V2)/(R1+R2) will circulate between them assumin...

Open Rotor Conductors
What happens with squirrel induction machines if the ends of rotor conductors are kept open?
anilsabaji
- Jan 8th, 2010
If the end of the Rotor Bars are not connected then there is no current in rotor Bars and hence no torque will be developped. The moroe may however run at a very low speed due to eddy currents in the rotor.

22 KV Cables
What are the maximum number of joints you can make in a (3x300mm, 22KV) cable over +/- 610m?
anilsabaji
- Jan 8th, 2010
There are no such rules. In some cases Cable Joints are strictly not allowed (in ships carrying Gas). Practically, as long as the joint does not increase the resistance of the cable than if it is not having any joint, it is acceptable for general industrial applications.

Location of LA (Ligtining arrestor)
Where do we locate lightining arrestor in transmission line?
anupam_srivastav
- Jan 9th, 2010
Ligthing arrestor is mounted on the starting of S/s as well as near T/f for the protection of equipment. Lightining arrestor has nothing to do with lightining it is mounted there from protection from lightining surge. Ci cover & lightining Mast is used for Lightining Attack.

LV Switchgear
Considering the short circuit fault, which switchgear is preferable, SFU OR MCCB? Which operates faster?
which one is popular in Indian Market and why? 2) Define SCPD. What is type2 co-odination?
3) Why the contactor rating is higher for the fuseless selection than for fuse selection? whether the ratinf of SFU or MCCB remains the same in both the cases?
4) If...veena_gyanchandani

2) SCPD - Short Ckt. Protection Device.eg - SFU.Type 2 coordination says that there should be no danger to personnel as well as no damage to the controller for downstream faults.Light contact welding ...
veena_gyanchandani
- Feb 24th, 2010
During short ckt. faults, the most reliable switchgear is SFU. It is fastest to operate and takes only few miliseconds. The operator just has to replace the fuse.MCCB is good for overload protection.

Phase Sequence
What happens when we change the phase sequence in 3 phase system?
R Raghavendran
- Feb 26th, 2010
Only the sequence of rotation of Magnetic fields changes, which causes a change in the rotor rotating direction accordingly.
SURAJTHEGREAT
- Feb 22nd, 2010
There is no change for ordinary devices,(behaves same as if the unvaried 3 phase supply is given) The rotation direction of the machines varies with variation in sequence of ac supply..
