Hi there.

Is there an international standard that specifies the size of the grounding conductor to bond a metallic part of the installation to a grounding bar?. And to connect the grounding bar to the grounding rod?. Thanks.

Why do we rate transformer in KVA not in KW?

s harikumar

• Nov 16th, 2012

Transformer rating in KVA instead of KW since its iron loss depends on voltage and copper loss depends on load current only. It is not dependent on the power factor of the load.

pinaki patra

• Oct 10th, 2012

For a transformer power factor is dependent on load, which is variable. Hence fixed quantity VA is used in place of watts.

Apparent power(KVA) is the total power from the supply, active power(KW) is the usefull power at load.

Power generated in the generator is active power or apparent power? Will there be any phase lag while generating power? How the reactive power is produced (either by capacitor or the generator itself generate it) ?

sai katreddi

• Sep 19th, 2012

Generally generator will produce both active and reactive power because of shaft power and exitation. Reactive power is used to drive the active power.

SGhosh

MCBs have relatively low breaking capacity and sluggish compared to fuse. Fuse is used when cost of cable is a factor. If MCBs are used proper cable sizing must be done considering fault level and duration.

SPI

• Apr 24th, 2012

Fuse is old technology to break d circuit in fault. MCB is for low fault currents starting 6Amps to, 63Amps either 1Phase or 3Phase. And (b,c,d,k) are depends on the fault current and the location u r going to use. MCCB for higher currents more than 63 Amps that to in 3 Phase only.

Why are we employing star type transformer at transmission end and delta type transformer at receiving end?

UMESH KUSHWAHA

Its not necessary to use only Delta type T/F at receiving end, we can also used star type but in this case at same voltage level two star neutral point create due to which Harmonic create for avoiding this we prefer opposite combination at sending end and receiving end.

Bcoz at the transmission side especially for secondary distribution we need neutral wire for getting single phase supply and star type is only one which provide neutral. at receiving side to step up voltage we need delta type connection.
