Answer / srinivasa rao talasila
It is a high magnitude pulse in micro seconds discharge.
so many mega volts of supply will discharge in 10 power -6
seconds.

Answer / sarfaraj shaikh
Its just a pulse.......its not D.C. or A.c.

Answer / tarun aggarwal ymca(tarun.agga
Lightning is an atmospheric electrostatic discharge (spark),SO Initially It is DC with an extremely fast rise time which gives it a high frequency AC component at the initial strike. Once the arc is established it contains all frequencies in the RF spectrum which makes it AC.

Answer / k.prakashchandra
It is a discharge between the oppositely charged and hence
can be considered as DC pulse as the 'only AC' appliances
burn out due to even small voltages caused by lightning
strokes and incandescent lamp remains unaffected.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 6 Yes | 3 No |
Answer / koti
it is purely pulse with a time period in seconds
by using high voltage engineering methods we can use this
power
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 0 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / sanjay rawat
all of u says that it is a pulse of high magnitude for micro sec
so this pulse is a spike
so we can concidered as ac

What happens with squirrel induction machines if the ends of rotor conductors are kept open? Explain
I have 2500KVA transformer delta/star,13.8KV/380V provided with LV 4000A breaker. Already I have 2300KW motor feeder with a full load 90%. Is it possible to connect another 1600A from that breaker? If so how the calculation is done?
what is meant by transformer differential protection ?

what is the resultant phase shift in a 3 phase power system including neutral if on or more phases gets grounded or short circuited. kindly explain in detail for the reasons...
Let's say I have 2 current carrying conductors C1 and C2 carrying currents of 5A and 10A. They are brought close to each other from a distance of infinity to a distance of 10cm away from each other - 1. What would be the values of current flowing in each conductor when (taking into account effects of interference of each conductor on the other) - a. The currents are AC b. The currents are DC c. C1 is AC and C2 is DC Please explain your answer with mathematical equations and formulas. Please specify the final numeric answer. Please make assumptions and clearly specify them.
