    Thanks for your post. i need one clarification, as per calculation sheet, down conductors are not varying while changing the height of the building. Is height of the building considered for down conductors

    Hello Sir,

    My Self is Nethra, am working in Electrical consultancy field as an Design Engineer. I need some clarification regarding FRLS wire. In Residential , Apartments all are using FRLS wire , i just wanted know what is reason behind that. Is there any IS standards for that?? Plz do the need full. Am awaiting your reply.

    Warm Regards , Nethra

    Hello sir,

    IS 694 : 2010 is for ” POLYVINYL CHLORIDE INSULATED UNSHEATHED
    AND SHEATHED CABLES/CORDS WITH RIGID AND
    FLEXIBLE CONDUCTOR FOR RATED VOLTAGES
    UP TO AND INCLUDING 450/750 V
    ( Fourth Revision )” . It defines all wires in 2 categories FR ( Flame retardant ) & FR-LSH ( Flame retardant Low smoke and halogen) . The FRLS category is under commercially available category Between FR and FR-LHS.

    Dear sir
    i need some clarification for arc gap in between two rods of lightning arrester that could be used for a 11 kV transmission lines
    1)The space in between two metal rod will give a capacitance effect or it will act as a resistance
    2)what standards could i follow for getting accurate results for calculation of arc in between two metal rods
    3)what will be the change in the density of arc (electrical parameters) when it sparks out from leading electrode and when it reaches the end electrode after ionising the air molecules when a lightning strike occurs directly lightning strokes and if lightning hits the transmission line( please provide guidance such that it would be useful for my carrier)

    Dear Sir,

    A building structure height is 95 meter and a vertical air termination lighting protection is provided at top. will it cover 95meter in circle at an angle of 45 degree…..

    Hello Sir,

    I need some support regarding earthing. We are working in Smart City Proejcts in which we are installing various equipments at city junctions, red lights, footpaths, divider etc.For teh same we are doing chemical earthing (with 1.2 m rod) nearby the equipment. We found equipments failure which may be due to earthing issue. Our problem is that when we measure earth resistance there its coming 60-70 ohms. It may be due to conductivity between electrodes while measuring as well as improper earthing as its surrounded/covered by concrete/bitumin etc.

    Please advise how we can ensure proper earthing either going by another method for functionality of equipment as well as acceptance by OEMs how to measure or any equivalent parameter which we can show in place of earthing resistance.

    Regards,
    Ashish Kumar
