Closing resistors are also intended to allow shunting of
over-voltages power surges that cause that can damamge the
system protected.

Dear All, I am new in construction company , my boss ask a question at time of interview , If we have 60MW generation and Single Power Transformer step-up we have. if CMR 50/60MVA , ONAN, ONAF respectively , is it sufficient or not ? for that much power to transfer,
During Load testing of battery charger with temporary AC Generator .When reach 70% load Generator immediately shutdown .we could not able to Recognize ,what is exactly problem .Please kindly clarify us
how generator avr give to the input?
