Insulator. What are the insulators used in over head lines? What is switchgear? Why is busbar secationalized? How many types of system loss in electrical systems and what are they?

Insulator. What are the insulators used in over head lines? What is switchgear? Why is busbar sectionalized? How many types of system loss in electrical systems and what are they?       Insulator. What are the insulators used in over head lines? Answer: Insulators are: 1) Pin type insulator 2) Suspension type insulator. 3) Strain type insulator. 4) Shackle type insulator. 5) Post type insulator. 6) Stay or guy type insulators.   2. Why are insulators used in overhead lines?  Write the important properties of insulators. Answer: No leakage current can go from the support to the earth because of the use of insulators. That is why insulators play an important role in transmission and distribution lines.   3. What qualities should the insulator have? Answer: An insulator should have the following qualities 1. Should be mechanically strong and robust. 2. High electrical resistance should be achieved. 3. Relative permittivity should be high. 4. The ratio of punc...

What is Corona? How is corona organized? What are the factors influencing corona? What is the effect of corona?

 What is Corona? How is corona organized? What are the factors influencing corona? What is the effect of corona?   What is Corona? Ans: When the spacing of two conductors is kept greater than the diameter, they are gradually increased by applying AC voltage across them. Then at a certain stage the air on the four sides of the conductor is ionized and the insulation trace of the air is broken. In this condition, light dull violet rays appear in and around the conductor, hissing sound and the formation of weight gas is called corona. How is corona organized? is done Answer: When ac supply is applied across two conductors i.e. ac supply is gradually increased, there comes a stage when the air around the conductor gets ionized and the insulation strength of the air breaks. The result is a hissing sound around the conductor and a purple glow discharge is seen. This results in the formation of weight gases.   Ways to reduce the corona effect. Answer: Corona effect can be reduc...

Describe the types of transport lines and why transport lines are transposed?

Describe the types of transport lines:         Describe the types of transmission lines: Transmission lines are divided into three categories on the basis of length and operating voltage i) Short length transmission lines:- When the length of a transmission line is below 80km and the transmission voltage is below 20 kv, it is called a short length transmission line.ii) Medium Transmission Line: When the length of the transmission line is between 80 – 200km and the transmission voltage is between 20 – 100 kv, it is called medium transmission line. iii) Long transmission line: When the length of transmission line is above 200 km and the transmission voltage is above 100 kv, it is called long transmission line. Why is transposition of transport lines? Answer: Due to transposition, the average inductance capacitance of each line is equal. Show the resulting voltage regulation and transport efficiency diagram. is relatively advanced.   What is the Ferranti effect? A...

Alternator Write the facility of rotating the field and name the prime movers used in Alternator keeping the definition and identity and working of Alternator machine.

    Definition and Identity: Alternator is a machine or electrical device that produces voltage of varying quality. Both D.C generator and Alternator produce alternating voltage within them. D, C In generator, unidirectional voltage is brought out with the help of commutator and brush, but in alternator, alternating voltage is brought out with the help of slipring. As in D, C Generator, Armature is rotated by keeping the Field fixed, in Alternator just opposite, the Armature is kept fixed by rotating the Field.This method is used in almost all alternators to get several benefits. The direction and speed of this rotation must be kept at a predetermined decision so that the frequency produced is the same everywhere. This frequency is directly dependent on the rotation and the phase sequence depends on the direction of rotation. It is also called Synchronouse generator as it has to be kept at a certain speed all the time. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle |Operation: Alternator o...
