tell 2 reasons for why only copper is used in domestic
wires& only alluminium in transmission lines ?

Answer Posted / lakshman

1. copper has better conductivity than alluminium.good
conducters dont produce magnetic flux that is inducyance of
copper is neglegible.as we domestic loads are operate
nearly unity power factor condition much reactive power is
not needed.so copper is suitable for domestic loads.
but transmission lines have to carry reactive power copper
is not suitable .alluminium is used as its inductance is more.

A powerplant has 8 gensets operating in grid parallel mode. In one genset sometimes there is pf variation and kvar variation. The plant operates in pf mode. When this variation is observed the load is stable, voltage is also stable, freq and genset speed is also stable. How will you check the functioning of pf card. What shall be the ideal output vdc of the pfc, from there it is input to AVR?
