What is the difference when selecting a cable between AC
and DC current?
Answer Posted / hdk
For DC, current distribution is uniform in all over cross section of cable so electrical cross-section = physical cross-section.
For AC, current distribution is non uniform due to the time varying nature of magnetic flux produces. So that Electrical Cross-section < physical cross-section. So Rdc<Rac.
So for AC to to transmit same current as of DC we need too select a cable which has more cross-section area than DC.
Rac=K×Rdc, where K=nearly 1.2

how we control automatic generator i'e with to supply (main supply and local generator) when the main supply was break to supply the local supply automatically to begin supplying power.I now this control circuit is the combination of contactor time delay contactor switch and overload relay .but my question is how we combine those component thank you
