Electrical Faults and Electrical Faults Causes

Electrical Faults and Electrical Faults Causes Failures which are mechanical in nature are very slow and show some visible signs of their approach. But electrical failures are sudden and without any pre-warning, excepting to an experienced person. After the electrical installation is commissioned, it normally works alright. Failures however rises later on due to the following causes … Read more

Classification of Transmission Lines based on Length and Voltage

Classification of Transmission Line Short transmission line Medium transmission line Long transmission line 1) Short transmission line Length of transmission line = below 50 km. Voltage = below 20 kV Due to smaller length and low voltage capacitance effect is neglected and only resistance and inductance is considered. 2) Medium transmission line Length of transmission … Read more

Types of Lighting Schemes: Types and Design | Illumination | Physics, Engineering

Lighting Schemes : For different purposes different lighting schemes are suggested. Types of Lighting Schemes : If the light falls on the polished surface the light is reflected back. This is good for illuminated but it produces glare on the eyes which is harmful. If light falls on the coarse surfaces like painted ceilings, frosted … Read more
