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.

because reduce the step potential while short circuit timing
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 8 Yes | 10 No |
Answer / suresh babu
first to prevent the stagnent of water under the transformer
second vibration withstand
third low resistivity i mean rock stones forms low
resitivity path

In CDG type IDMTL realy O/L , E/F, O/C which are used for out going feedrs,on R-phase o/c element, Y-phase , e/f elecment and on b -phase o/c element will be connected . Why the earth fault on center phase only, why not on other two phases?
What are the types of windings present in the ceiling fan? What winding will be effective first when we started the fan?What are the resistance and inductance ratios comparatively at the initial speed and full speed of the fan?
wht is the purpose of the earth electrode other then earthing
