Vcb stands for Vacuum

Circuit Breaker and this

is used in switchgear
room. This is a
protection device for
Medium Range circuit.
The Vacuum Circuit
Breaker (VCB) is a
switching device capable
for operational
switching(on-off
operations) of individual circuits or electrical equipment in normal or emergency
modes with manual or automatic control, made for a medium voltage of over 1 kV
based on the principle of quenching an electric arc that occurs when the contacts
open in a vacuum gap.

The main function of a vacuum circuit breaker is to cut off power to electrical
outlets in case of a short circuit or electrical malfunction to allow manual
disconnection of circuits so that they can be repaired. A notable feature of vacuum
circuit breakers is that they contain evacuated spaces.

3000 RPM is the speed a 2 pole

AC generator needs to rotate at to
generate 50 (cycles per second) Hz

 Transformer oil is most often based on mineral oil, but alternative
formulations with different engineering or environmental properties are growing in
popularity.

During a phase loss condition, 3-phase motors, pumps, and compressors will
tend to draw excessive current in the remaining two connected phases leading to
overheating of the motor windings, reduction in speed which itself could cause the
motor to vibrate and become unsafe. The motor will slow down and start over-
heating and the circuit breakers will trip.
 AC (Alternating Current) can change its
direction of electric charge. DC (Direct Current) is a
direct flow in 1 direction only of electric charge.
But the most obvious difference is the type of
current each motor turns into energy, alternating
current in the case of AC motors, and direct
current in the case of DC motors. AC motors are
known for their increased power output and
efficiency, while DC motors are prized for their
speed control and output range.

One reason is to avoid

transformer oil spill, in case that
transformer get burst. So that oil can
easily be collected beside under the
transformer foundation on the oil pit. To
increase ground resistance. Rainwater
absorption and avoid vibration damage.

Stone increases resistance between our

foot and the ground. Stones prevent
the accumulation of rainwater in
switch yard. Stones reduces step
potential and touch potential when
operators work on switch yard.
Stones prevents vegetation and
growth of small weeds, plants, and
grass inside the switch yard.
 Big capacitors can store energy, but they discharge quickly. Batteries can
store energy for longer durations and are better suited for many applications. Large
capacity caps are ideal to top up batteries. Remember that caps are static, not
dynamic. Batteries are stable and hold relatively constant voltage and hold charge
for longer.

The calculation for a three-phase transformer kVA is a

little different from the calculation for a single-phase
kVA. Once you've multiplied your voltage and amperage,
you'll also need to multiply by a constant — 1.732, which
is the square root of 3 truncated to three decimal places:
V * l * 1.732 / 1,000To calculate single and three phase
Transformer in KVA , the two Transformers have
different formula.

1. Single phase is calculated as Current I

multiply by Voltage V divide be 1000.
I.e. I x V /1000.
2. To calculate for three phase the
square root of 3 is multiplied by the
formula for calculating the single phase.
That is, ( IV/1000) 1.732.
To calculate the rating of a single-phase
transformer in kVA-
Rating (kVA) = (Voltage (V) × Current (A))
/ 1000
For a three-phase transformer,
use:Rating
(kVA) = (Voltage (V) × Current (A) × √3) /
1000
Suspension type insulator which is made from porcelain this is used to support and
separate electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves.

Generators are connected

in parallel because it ensures
reliability and scalability in power
generation. Parallel connection
allows them to share the load,
providing redundancy and easier
expansion, whereas series
connection would combine their
outputs, risking imbalance and
limiting flexibility. Parallel
generators provide the maximum
output when the power demand
peaks and minimum output when
the load necessities are low.
Hence, parallel generators
increase the reliability of power
systems and make them more
efficient.

To Check the earthing of the

circuit by using a multimeter you
need to put black Probe into the
earth point and as well as red probe
into the phase point. if you get
voltage your earthing is working
properly.
Check the Earthing:

a. Switch the multimeter to continuity or resistance mode (ohms).

b. Touch one probe to the earth socket or connection and the other to a known
ground, such as a metal pipe or rod outside your home.

c. If there's continuity or very low resistance (near zero ohms), the earthing is
effective and safe.

DC does not have a power

factor because it maintains a
constant voltage polarity, making
the phase difference between
current and voltage zero. In AC
power factor is relevant due to the
changing polarity and phase shift
between voltage and current. The
DC power behaves the same in
reactive as in resistive loads.

Therefore, the power

factor being the ratio of reactance
to resistance x/x=1. This is because
in DC the angular difference
between the voltage and the current is very close to 0°.

Direct current has no power factor because it is accompanied by zero

frequency. For alternating current voltages, power factor is a norm and ranges
between zero and one, where one is the perfect system, and zero is the bad system.

Batteries are the same. Voltage is

constant and current is constant if the
voltage value is equal. Otherwise, current
that goes from the highest volt value to
the lowest volt value
 AC changes their direction 50 or
60 times per second and DC does not. AC
changes its direction of flow, thereby
leading to charging and discharge of a
battery, It can't charge a battery directly.
Key points: Alternating Current (AC)
cannot charge a rechargeable battery
because its positive half cycle charges the
battery whilst the negative half cycle
discharges it.
It's called creepeage distance. We have clearance distance. The first one, as far as
ribs it concerns, are used to increase the arch route, to have insulation increased.

High voltage insulators for outdoor use are shaped to maximize the length of
the leakage path along the surface from one end to the other, called the creepage
length, to minimize these leakage currents. To accomplish this the surface is molded
into a series of corrugations or concentric disc shapes.

High voltage insulators are ribbed to increase their surface area. This helps in
improving the insulation performance and preventing electrical breakdown.

The indication C32 is

the rating of the circuit breaker.
 Loose connection and overload

Transformers cannot operate on DC because

a changing magnetic field is required to
induce a voltage in a loop of wire. If the
primary of a transformer is connected to a
DC supply, the primary will draw steady
current and hence produce constant flux.

Consequently, no back emf will be

produced. Additionally, there can be a
saturation of the core due to which
transformer draws very large current from
the supply when connected to DC.

Transformers do not allow DC input to flow through. This is known as DC

isolation. This is because a change in current cannot be generated by DC; meaning
that there is no changing magnetic field to induce a voltage across the secondary
component.

Because they carry large

quantities of electricity at a very high
voltage, transmission lines are not
covered by an insulating sheath. The air
around them provides insulation.
Therefore, it's important that nothing come close enough to the lines to cause an
electric arc.

Single-phase, loads the neutral wire provides the return path for the current,
and in balanced 3 phase loads, because they satisfy the above criteria, the currents
enter and return through lines creating 0A of out of balance current. So, there is no
need for a neutral wire.

The reduced voltage leads to reduced

motor current. The reduced current
improves the motor starting
characteristics, and the motor starts
without any electrical and mechanical
stress. That is why star delta starter
preferred. The induction motor takes 6
to 7 times of its rated current at starting
time.

As a ground wire is grounded there is

no shock hazard so there is no need to
insulate it.
Charcoal is used to retain the
moisture for a long duration because
it is an adsorbent and salt is added to
increase the conductivity both these
products help to pass the leakage
current through earth wire as early as
possible to remove the chances of
shock.
The two 5-watt lamps have high internal resistance and cause high drop voltage on
them and the remaining low voltage can't drive high to turn on the 40w lamp,
because it's also considered as High Voltage.
