What is an ELCB? An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations with high earth impedance to prevent shock. It detects small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment, and interrupts the circuit if a dangerous voltage is detected. Once widely used, more recent installations instead use… Read More: ELCB Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker »
Generally there are two power transmission and distribution systems that are used to transmit electrical energy i.e. HVDC or High Voltage Direct Current transmission system and HVAC or High Voltage Alternating Current transmission system. Now let’s see the advantages and disadvantages of both power distribution systems. COMPARISION OF HVAC & HVDC SYSTEMS HVAC transmission is… Read More: HVDC & AC TRANSMISSION & DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM FOR ELECTRICAL ENERGY »
The distribution of current throughout cross section of a conductor is uniform only when DC is passing through it. When Alternating Current(AC) is passing through a conductor, the current is non uniformly distributed over the cross section in a manner that the current density is higher at the surface of the conductor compared to the… Read More: Why Skin Effect Occurs in Transmission Lines? »
