how could we findout the lightning arrester failed or not in
live circuit? Is there any instrument to measure the high
voltage at the time of sky lighting?

Answer Posted / k.prakashchandra

If the L.A. is intact ,you have to assume that it in working
condition.There is no need to test it with high voltage ,as
it is already subjected to working voltage .Only physical
examination may help you.In case of E.H.T,LA ,it is usually
provided with stay-put pointer ammeter to measure leakage
current.You have to replace the L.A. when the pointer enters
the red region.

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
