Why Was circuit breaker capacity rated in MVA not in Ka & KV ?

The circuit breaker capacity is often rated in MVA (Mega Volt-Amperes) rather than in kA (kiloamperes) or kV (kilovolts) because MVA represents the overall power handling capacity of the circuit breaker.

Why does the induction motor Draw a heavy current at starting?

An induction motor draws heavy current at starting due to the initial conditions during startup.

When the motor is stationary, there is no back electromotive force (EMF) to counteract the incoming voltage.

Why does the induction motor Draw a heavy current at starting?

An induction motor draws heavy current at starting due to the initial conditions during startup. When the motor is stationary, there is no back electromotive force (EMF) to counteract the incoming voltage. As a result, the current is higher, creating a larger starting torque to overcome inertia and set the motor in motion. This initial high current is known as the “starting current” or “locked rotor current.” Once the motor starts rotating, the back EMF increases, reducing the current to a more stable operating level.

What is the best way to join cables?

The best way to joint cables depends on various factors like the type of cables, voltage levels, environmental conditions, and intended usage. Common methods include soldering, crimping, using connectors, or employing specialized splicing techniques like resin or heat shrink splicing. Each method has its strengths and is suitable for different situations. Consulting with an expert in electrical engineering or a professional electrician can help determine the best jointing method for your specific needs.

Why do we need live line washing?

Live line washing, also known as live line maintenance or hotline washing, is a method used to clean high-voltage power lines while they’re energized. It helps in preventing dirt, pollution, and contaminants from accumulating on the insulators of power lines. By keeping these insulators clean, live line washing ensures efficient electricity transmission, reduces the risk of power outages, and maintains the reliability of the power grid.

If a man hangs on one live wire with two hands, will he get shocked?

If a person hangs onto a live wire with both hands, completing a circuit by providing a path to the ground, they are likely to get shocked. The human body is conductive, and if it provides a path for electricity to flow from the live wire through the body to the ground, it can result in an electric shock. The severity of the shock depends on various factors, including the voltage of the live wire and the body’s resistance. In any case, interacting with live electrical wires is extremely dangerous and should be avoided under all circumstances.
