tell 2 reasons for why only copper is used in domestic
wires& only alluminium in transmission lines ?
Answer Posted / madhusudhana reddy
1. Copper is costlier than Aluminium(approximately 4
times). As transmission lines span longer distances,
Aluminium is used to keep the initial cost to a low value.
2. Aluminium has higher resistivity/weight ratio.
3. Losses have to be kept to very low value in domestic
purpose. Copper being better conductor than Aluminium is
used for domestic purposes where initial cost involved is
less.

hi, in the event earth grounding is not available in a project, is there any other way to make the elcb work? fyi, i have an instant water heater (6.5kw) installed, however if there is grounding in the heating element inside the heater assembly, i will get grounded. thank you in advance to those who will answer my question.

For refrigerators the motor current is raised beyond its rating on both conditions when the voltage of the system is more(say 270v) than the rated voltage(220v) as well as when the voltage of system is less(say 160v) than normal voltageof 220v, why explain?
