the distance from my office to d.g is aprox 400mtrs and
voltage drops ibn my office near about 40 volt what should
i do p[ls suggest.

Answer Posted / m.p.rajan

Friend
You can either shift ur DG near to ur office, or u change
the size of the cable connecting from DG terminal to switch
board, preferably with a copper cable. Present cable size
is very low compared to the distance and the load taken by
the cable, and hence u have a voltage drop of 40V.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
