why the generating voltage in India is 11kV or why is it be
transmitted as multiples of 11

Answer Posted / a.mohanasundaram

i) Generating voltage strength (11KV) depends on dielectric strength of insulating materials to withstand heat loss produced by the main HV winding (armature). India has developed insulating material to generate maximum of 11KV (rms)
i.e) magV directly proptional to insulating material thickness

ii) Transmission votage is multiples of 11 bcaz
form factor = Vrms / Vavg=1.11 (sine wave)
to make average voltage 10 KV , rms sent as 11KV or 10% drop in voltage considered

In Air circuit breaker LSIG protection unit is used. Without fault in cables (2 runs 3Cx150Sq.mm Copper, 1Kv grade, XPLE armored cable IR value is more than 550Mohm @ 500V Megger) and load section Long time Overcurrent protection is triggers and trips the unit. We changed LSIG protection with new factory tested unit. Even then fault is persisting. Please suggest the possible causes

Is there any problem about which the drive (inverter) doesn't show/display the alarm and/or fault but instead of this , it doesn't work ? I want to know that could there be any kind of problem in the drive when the drive doesn't display the alarm and/or fault ?

Actually I have a doubt on neutral and earth.we use Ac power without taking neutral by connecting to earth,but at that time does it affects on efficiency of any electrical components or no? If yes how?
