Answer / rajeshsan
There are many reasons for using gravel stones of 60mm size below transformer. Few are:-
1. During oil spillage from transformer or during sprinkler system act the water draining from soak pit it will be easier.
2. To avoid the grown of grass and entry of animals etc.,
3. To reduce the step potential
You can please refer the NFPA 850 for details.

How many types of AC current?
in a delta-star with neutral grounding on star side what will happen if one star limb got opened at star point
We use ungrounded DC system (220V/110V) for control and protection system in substations etc. Suppose we have long 2 core DC cables running from our DCDB in control room to the load (length of around 2 to 3 km). Do we need to protect these long DC cables from earth leakages or not? If yes how?
why it is so called as xlpe(cross linked poly ethyline) cable?
what is the preventing maintenance of transformer

If I want to connect a capacitor bank on the HT side of a 11kV/415V, 3 phase delta-star distribution transformer to supply Reactive power to it..what practical specifications of a Capacitor bank that can i've??please reply..
We are dealer in Maharashtra State & We have recd. form C from dealer of Maharashtra State against our E-1 form. Now assessing authority is asking for counterfoil of our E-1 form. But, our E-1 form counterfoil is misplaced somewhere & assessing authority is disallowing the C form which is recd. from Maharashtra State.Please let us know the option for allowing C form?
i am BSEE student, my project study is to synchronize the generator of an hospital, it have a one 313KVA standby-power diesel gen.,and three 100kva transformer.The generator system is operated manually and no ATS or UPS. one more new building is being build so the transformer will be upgrade to a higher vale. 1)how i can connect the new gen. to the old gen. and to the synchronize panel? 2)what is the new gen. to be buy?(rating, etc.) These is my title: To synchronize the generator system of the ____ Hospital. Anyone have a good title? Thanks.
