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.

How do i perform grounding of star point of Genset (400V) for making connection with step up transformer of DELTA-DELTA (400V to 20KV) ? while Genset itself has its own neutral and grounding bus bar inside genset breaker box whereas we have another neutral and grounding busbar in synchronizing panel next to genset at maximum distance of 6meter, would someone pls advice if we can only perform neutral grounding in synchronizing panel or should we ground neutral on both places inside genset breaker box and synchronizing panel.
