Requirements of a Distribution System: A considerable amount of effort is necessary to maintain an electric power supply within the requirements of various types of consumers. Some of the good…
DC Distribution System: It is a common knowledge that electric power is almost exclusively generated, transmitted and distributed as a.c. However, for certain applications, d.c. supply is absolutely necessary. For…
AC Distribution System: Now-a-days electrical energy is generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. One important reason for the widespread use of alternating current in preference to…
Electric Power Distribution System: Electric Power Distribution System states that part of power system which distributes electric power for local use is known as distribution system. The electrical energy produced…
Capacitance of Single Core Cable: A Capacitance of Single Core Cable can be considered to be equivalent to two long co-axial cylinders. The conductor (or core) of the cable is…
Three Phase Service Cable: In practice, underground cables are generally required to deliver 3-phase power. For the purpose, either three-core cable or three single core cables may be used. For…
Underground Cables: Electric power can be transmitted or distributed either by overhead system or by underground cables. The underground cables have several advantages such as less liable to damage through storms…
Corona: When an alternating potential difference is applied across two conductors whose spacing is large as compared to their diameters, there is no apparent change in the condition of atmospheric…
