Answer / deepa
it is used to prevent from shocks at fault.ie,for example
over cuttent occurs in the s/m means large amt of current
flowing,it will go to the s/m failer and shock.earthing
means the exessive current flow through neutral.

Earthing is done for personel and equipment protection
purpose . Earthing provides the conducting path for fault
current through neutral to ground

Earthing is nothing but is used to remove unwanted/ harmful current/ Voltage by sending it to earth via. earth pit, either it come in the body of any instrument (washing machine, Freeze, AC or any lathe machines, electrical motors..) or in the shield of the signal cable via interference.
This is also known with different-2 names.
Like: Electronic earthing, panel earthing, system earthing, Instrument earthing, Shield earthing...... .
But the purpose is same....
This is not only to protect the Human and equipment but also for better communication in case of 4-20ma, 0-10V signals.... removed by using shielded cables with one end earthed.

If 11 KV breaker on the primary side of a 11 KV/3.3 KV 12.5 MVA transformer can be installed at a distance of 1000 mtrs through a 11 KV cable. If no what are the probable reasons.
if an insulated power and control cables of a running gas diesel gensets laid direct in an open trench i.e, trench bed is not rcc of a power house in which rain water, spillage water alwas exists and all power control cables remains submerged even when gas gensets of 480 kw each runningin on load. These power &control cables runs from power house to switchgear room through these trenches in which water remains most of the time. pl explain its merit & de-merit
two parallel conductors are carrying the current in the same direction.which of the following statements is true? (a)there is arepelling force between the conductors (b)the force increases when the distance between the conductors is increased (c)there is an attaracting force between the conductors (d)the force increases when the distance between the conductors is decreased
11 kv metering is done in my factory.Meter show PF 1.000 but kvarh lag&lead show 24&94 respectively & Avg.PF is .956 .? is what i do for inproove my PF to 1.000
