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.

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.
