Fault of Electric Cable
It can be of three (3) types of electric cable faults found. They are There may be a short circuit between two conductors, There may be earth fault, i.e., fault between conductor and ground, There may be open circuit caused due to disconnection of the conductor. There can be more than one of the faults…

Electric Poles
For carrying of overhead line, wooden poles, concrete poles, steel poles and rail poles are used. Which poles are to be used, depending on the importance of load, location, and place, cost effect of such construction, including maintenance cost, and keeping its profit element in mind. In low voltage line for all phases, natural and…

Load Factor
What is Load Factor? In electrical engineering, the Load Factor is defined as a ratio of the average load divided by the maximum (or peak) load in a given time of period. In other words, the Load Factor is the ratio of total energy (kWh) used over a specific period of time to the total…

Impedance Matching
What is Impedance Matching? Impedance matching is defined as the process of designing the input impedance and output impedance of an electrical load to minimize the signal reflection or maximize the power transfer of the load. An electrical circuit consists of power sources like amplifier or generator and electrical load like a light bulb or…
