what type of euse we should use ?
1- High resistance & low temperature
2- High temperature low resistance

high resistance and low melting point material must be used
as fuse because, a fuse (from the Latin "fusus" meaning to
melt) is a type of "sacrificial over-current" protection
device. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip
that melts when too much current flows, which interrupts the
circuit in which it is connected.
So as high current/ over-current flows through the fuse due
to high resistance high (I^2*R)power loss will take place
thus generating heat in the wire and the wire will melt
quickly as its melting point is low
Material used in fuse wire
Fuse wire is a thin wire made of different types of alloys
of chromium, aluminum, iron, nickel etc. The fuse wire
alloys are:
* Aluchrom alloy
* Cronifer alloy

Where double earthing is required? Is there any power specification to have double earthing?
please let me know , we have installed two separate motor for fire fighting system 1) 60 hp and 2) 15 hp the load is 74 AMPS and 20 AMPS then tell me the main power cable in Aluminum will be what thickness , the length is 225 mt from the main utility to fire pump house
What size cable is used for HT cable to the transformer of 630kVA, and the supply voltage is 11kV
how does the terminal voltage of transmission lines increase when a capacitor is connected???? This happens not only in transmission lines but also in all circuits. How??? When a capacitor is connected in a transmission line, capacitor also takes energy from the same supply. But how is it able to increase the terminal voltage??? Practically What sequence of events happen during increase in voltage???
