what is the purpose of using semiconductors in HT cables..

Answer / bhavuk sharma

The semi conducting material is used in HV cables to reduce the stress caused on insulation due to high electric field.
This can be achieved by gradually reducing the electric stress. Now to gradually reduce this stress a layer of semi conducting material (since it is neither a complete insulator or a complete conductor) is used just before the main insulating compound of cable. This will reduce the electrical stress on this main insulating compound.

Answer / k.prakashchandra

The semiconductor layers are not doped and are intrinsic
.They influence(confine) electric field within the
insulation layers.

I BOUGHT A HAVELLS ACCL WITH GENERATOR STOP FASCILITY(i.e- BASICALLY IT IS A AUTO CHANGE OVER SWITCH) FOR MY HONDA EXK 2000S HOME GENERATOR (WHICH START IN PETROL & RUN IN KEROSENE). ACCL HAS 8 POINT. 2 FOR MAINS(PH & NUE), 2 FOR LOAD, 2 FOR GEN AND 2 FOR IGNITION POINT(X1 & X2). THE IGNITION POINT IS SPECIALLY FOR AUTO ENGINE STOP WHEN MAINS POWER RESTORE. I CONNECT THIS X1 & X2 POINT TO THE GENERATOR STATER MOTOR & EARTHING POINT. BUT WHEN MAINS FAILS THE GENERATOR COULD NOT START, BUT WHEN DISCONNECT THOSE X1 OR X2 POINT, THEN THE GENERATOR START. BUT WHEN MAINS ON THEN THE GENERATOR SHOULD START, AND WHEN I OFF THE MAINS THE GENERATOR AUTOMATICALLY STOP. PLESE HELP ME HOW I STOP THE GENERATOR AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE MAINS RESTORE.
