what is the difference between a feeder and a cable?

Answer Posted / nitin narwal

u can consider every feeder as a cable but u cant say same
as in case of cable.
a feeder is related with load i.e current or we can say
that current capacity i t can bear.
e.g
1.trunk feeder
2.sub feeders
a trunk feeder is a feeder which comes directly 4m the
grid,,,,for e.g lets say 11kv
sub feeders are originated from trunk feeder e.g a11 kv
line is connected to a bus bar and 4m that several 11 kv
feeder are originated.
3*300 size cable we use in feeders now days for 11kv
3 means 3 core and 300 sq mm cross section area of each
core.
while in case of distribution we generally relate it with
voltage regulation,,and it is again with the help of cables.
so we have concluded that all are cables but when we
specify their roles we just call them with seprate names

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
