difference b/w semiconductor and insulator..

Answer / maroof khan

semiconductor is a conductor which conductivity lies
between conductor & insulator.
insulator does not allow the flow of current.

Is This Answer Correct ?    20 Yes 2 No

difference b/w semiconductor and insulator..

Answer / ramkumar

semiconductor conduct current only a.c positive half cycle
but insulator not allow to carry the current with in the
insulating level of that insulator.

Is This Answer Correct ?    7 Yes 3 No

difference b/w semiconductor and insulator..

Answer / palpandi.a

Semiconductor has 4 electrons in conduction band.due to the
doping it get or lose one electron.so it act as partial
condutor.But insulator has 8 electrons in conduction band.

Is This Answer Correct ?    6 Yes 3 No

difference b/w semiconductor and insulator..

Answer / sunil guru

There is difference in the doping of SEMICONDUCTOR AND
INSULATOR...
IN SEMICONDUCTOR the distance between the upper band and the
lower band is low...so the conduction level is high...

and in INSULATOR the distance betwn U.B AND L.B is HIGH.. so
the conduction level is low..

insulators sre ban conductors and semiconductors are good
conductors

Is This Answer Correct ?    4 Yes 1 No

One of our gas turbine generator unit "1st stage rotor ground fault" alarm was occured several times. we tried to measure some voltage vulue ground fault protection relay (UNS3020a made by ABB and we measured the value of: Ground: 0.9VDC 5V: 5.8VDC 24V: 23VDC u+: 300 – 350mVAC Rf1: 17.5mVAC Rf2: 17.6mVAC The unit still running and the alarm was reset. As of 6pm yesterday and unitl now no alarm happened again. I our protection relay was defective?
