    Dear Jigneshbhai,,

    Can you please guide me about the installation of Air terminal/Lightning arrester on the water tank roof…?

    Actually i am in little confusion in that because there is also internal cathodic protection for the tank. and if we directly fix that airterminal on tank roof without isolate it with the tank body/roof,then it will be affect to the internal cathodic protection of tank or not. Even though tank shell will be connected to the earthing also.

    HI sir,

    I am having some doubts in measuring Insulation resistance.

    DOUBT 1:

    What is the difference between Measuring Insulation Resistance of a Motor/Generator using Megger and using Multimeter.

    Where to use Multimeter and where to use megger

    DOUBT 2:

    For what applications we have to use star connected Motor (PERMANENTLY IN STAR) and where to use Delta connected Motor (PERMANENTLY IN DELTA)

    DOUBT 3:

    This is about Pneumatics……….. in what way 4/2 valve is different from 5/2 valve i know a difference between them is 5/2 valve has one additional exhaust port. But both working Principles is same. is there is any other difference between these.

    want to know about XLPE HT and LT.

    maximum distance of ACSR can be used in LV line. Thumb rule for LV distribution ..

    why in every state or location has different Electrical Code?
    NEC
    and also in every country has an electrical standard?

    ex: USA and UK
