    Cross-Country faults

    Are there any "standard" definition for a cross-country fault? Any references? Is there any relationship between the faults ie. the occurrence of a second fault depends on the first fault? ( For eg. a phase to ground fault causing voltage rise in healthy phases which in turn may lead to some...

    Metal Halide Starting Issues

    I have been at a lighting company not long and I have inherited a pending issue. A 2000W metal halide fixture comes on when connected but when put off and even allowed to cool, it fails to come on. My observations: During initial start up, voltage across lamp sockets gradually builds from zero...

    ELECTRICAL SERVICE INSTALLATION FOR BUILDINGS

    Hi, I would like to know some few things; 1. How are final circuits referenced/ labelled? eg. Board/breaker1/breaker2..... And is there a laid out procedure for this? 2. What would be the best order of circuit protection; is it Main breaker/MCB/RCCB ? Thanks, great minds.

    High transformer input current

    I built a 125W transformer with input voltage of 50V and an output voltage in taps (6). When I energised the transformer and tapped the primary input voltage to a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope, and output left opened, A HIGH CURRENT WAS OBSERVED IN THE PRIMARY. I disconnected the connection to the...

    Constant AC voltage supply

    I want to design a voltage optimisation device using a transformer approach. Is it possible (practically) to control the taps such that the output voltage stays at a CONSTANT value irrespective of the supply voltage? Need wild Ideas. Thanks
