Why effective AC resistance is more than DC resistance of a
transmission line?
Answer Posted / mohd. kashan wali
AC resistance is greater than DC resistance.
The reason is:-
In AC, Skin effect occurs which means that current tends to flow through the skin of the wire than through the inner core,so net area of current flow in AC tends to reduce.
And Resistance is inverse proportional to Area, and as the net area of current flow decrease, so NET AC RESISTANCE INCREASES.
Now in DC current, there is uniform current flow.So net area of current flow through conductor is greater than AC,
THUS DC RESISTANCE IS LESS THAN AC

In our plant we have installed new MCC with ELR and CBCT which is detecting some leakage current in the system but it leading to some confusion when to check that in which feeder which is drawing current we put off the whole panel itself but still CBCT detecting some leakage current so can anybody ans me , where i am going wrong or how to detect whether its actual leakage or CBCT malfunctioning.

What are marginally stable systems?
We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
