Answer / prabal roy

the current is neither ac nor dc....it is impulse current
of very high amplitude..

the current which flows during lightening is ac or dc,,,,,,,,,,, WHY..

Answer / nishant2110

No dude ..its DC. when cloud is positively charged current
flows from cloud to earth as earth is at 0 potential. so
its unidirectional. sometimes when cloud is negatively
charged, current flows from earth to cloud. But its not
possible that same times same clouds gets + and - charged.
So at any instant current is from either cloud to earth or
earth to cloud. that is unidirectional. it does not changes
direction continuously for particular lightning.

Answer / saroj kayastha

I think DC current flows because, lightening occurs due to collides of positive cloud charges and Negative cloud charges

the current which flows during lightening is ac or dc,,,,,,,,,,, WHY..

Answer / akhil goyal

its AC
IF ITS dc Then we can store itbecause DC can be store but
not possible for AC.
other reason its magnitude is changed which possible for AC

0 Answers Future Group,

Our Alternator nameplate specifies a power factor of 0.8. When the Alternator is on light load, the bus bar voltage rises to 11240 volts, whereas the standard value is 10500 volts. Is it ok to increase the power factor to 0.85 or 0.9. I am afraid because the power factor on the name plate is only 0.8 ?
