Hi Jignesh,
first of all, many many thanks to organise such a informative contents of electrical engineering. I appreciate this a lot. I have gone through many websites but didnt found so much useful information which I found on your website..brave effort.
My electrical background is not so fundamental so would like to ask u a question regarding underground cabling of medium voltage cables for pv projects.
I m looking for indian standards of medium voltage and low voltage cable specification for mega watt pv project.
Will u pls guide me on this?
Thank you.
kind regards,
Pranav

Nice site.thanks sir.
Please is DOL applicable to lamp or only motor?
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you, you have
hit the nail on the head. The issue is something too few people are speaking intelligently about.
I am very happy I found this in my search for something concerning this.

thanks for your valuable notes regarding cable trays.
what is maximum mega ohms on 11kv 3core cable
good evening sir, what is genarators check list and genaral maitanance
Hi Engineer Jignesh,
I know loss of neutral on a 3 phase system causes voltage on phase with less load to rise and that of the phase with high load to fall. please explain how and why this happens
Thank you
The absence of Neutral will cause the total voltage to rise upto 380V between 2 phases. So as per voltage dividing rule it acts as a serious combination of two parallel branches if without earth or neutral in between. Hence the serial branch which has more LOADS ( means effective resistance low because parallel connection ) will hae less voltage across it. Remember current is same.

How to calculate correct cable size for a 37kw ac motor and the correct gen for. A factory with 950kw load
I have a project to design a food court in kundali. in this there are two nos. of coffee shop, one nos. KFC outlet & 12 nos of small FNB outlets of 600 sq.ft. area.
I have to prepare a electrical load sheet.i’m confused how much load should i take, my senior suggest take 100kW for KFC and 40kW for coffee shop & 20kW for rest of the outlets.
But it seems too much load we have taken.
& how much diversity we would take?
Please help sir what to do.
Dear Sir
Could you plz help me out regarding the diversity factors to be considered for different panels . Do i have to consider diversity factor for all MDBs & finally diversity factor in main LT panel . Is there any code which says about diversity factors at different levels of distribution.
Thanks

Hi Sir,
I have charged 132 KV S/C Line 35.9 Kms in length . There was no terminal equipment like LAs & CVT at receiving end . This line remained charged for more than a month and then whole assembly of R_phase got punctured further lead to snapping of conductor at T8 near to receiving end. Kindly let me know whether the above breakdown was due to Ferranti effect of the line or weak insulation of Disc insulators or high earthing resistance of line ?
nice Q.

All electrical q&a sending for my mail ID
YES SIR…
i never seen this type of website to learn about electrical.
Our vertical flange mount motor with centrifugal pump driven motor capacity 70 KW 3 ph Induction motor become vibration when motor run through VFD.
Vibration occur only 1200 RPM to 1350 RPM DE-NDE V- 5.9 mm/s H- 7.9 mm/s A- 1.2mm/s. If motor run at full load then vibration is normal below 2.5 mm/s.
What is actually problem. i am also take vibration at no-load also but same problem.
I am also changed motor at foundation but same problem observed.
Please give me technically ans….

I am an electrical engineer and I am still fresh. I am studying the Steam turbine Generator and I have an STG connected to a grid (60 Hz,34.5 KV), the output STG power is 26 MW I need to increase it to 31.2 MW. I need to focus into generator side not prime mover. The question,
1- What is the primary step I should do ?
2- What graph should I study (Capability curve, v/f .. etc) ?
3- How can I know what is the maximum Active power ?
4- What is the logic and control that prevent the generator to feed more ?
I appreciate your help..

I have a chiller which is consuming 1.2 MW of power daily and voltage is 4.160V.How to calculate it in kWh?
Hi Jignesh. We are procuring a submersible pump together with a separate terminal box and the area classification for the equipment is Zone 1 Group IIA T1. Our vendor is suggesting that a T6 rated equipment is superior to a T1 rated equipment. I have seen the T-class table for explosive atmospheres and there is a big difference between the two. Is our vendor correct in saying that a T6 rated equipment is superior to a T1 rated equipment? If possible, can you also please send to me the regulation, preferably IEC, which shows how to interpret the T-class for such an equipment. Thank you so much and your help is very much appreciated.
what will happen If u give a same body earthing for AC and DC equipment’s?
Nothing will happen if you make sure that the earth is a perfect one with the lowest of the lowest ohms. Make 3 pits minimum and interconnect in delta and bring minimum 2 earth conductors from diagonal points of each equipment.
In which base REF protection act as earth fault protection explain please
R.E.F acts for faults in between the incoming side and outgoing side CTs of a transformer. This region can’t be protected by the C.Ts alone, as they may not get any fault currents in such a situation. Hence the protection circuit is made up with another logic involves the unbalanced currents.

hello sir, can u give the details of leackage current limit, when doing the 13.8 kv cable hv
testing
dear sir…
can you give the details of leakage current limit for 13.8 kv cable hv testing.
Very nice.
I would like to ask a question.
A 132/33 kv substation is feeding power from two different sources and the sources are 1) 220/132 kv substation at a distance of 5 kms 2) A generating station at a distance of 36 kms.
Now the 132/33 kv substation has a 33 kv feeder of fluctuating load( 20 amps to 300 amps).
The ampere meter of the feeder coming from 220/132 kv substation is more fluctuating than the generating one.
Why?
Please tell me.
hi if i step up dc to ac like from 4v dc to 500v ac would the amps also increase as much as the volts. question 2 in an inverter circuit diagram i saw three ground symbol one from the negative terminal of the battery do i have to physically dig a hole and put an earth there or is there any other way out to make it cheaper
