What do you understand by ASCR cable, and where is it used?

Electrical and Electronic Engineering - Interview Questions

ACSR cable stands for Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced cable. It is a type of high-capacity, high-strength stranded conductor wire typically used in overhead power lines. It is also used in broadcast & distribution. It is best suited for broadcast & distribution because of its good conductivity, low weight, low cost, resistance to corrosion, and decent mechanical stress resistance.

What are the advantages of VSCF wind electrical system?

Advantages of VSCF wind electrical system are :

* No complex pitch changing mechanism is needed.
* Aero turbine always keeps going at maximum efficiency point.
* Extra energy in the high wind speed region of the speed – duration curve can be extracted
* Significant reduction in aerodynamic stresses, which are associated with constant – speed operation.

Why electricity in India is in the multiples of 11 like 11kv, 22kv, 33kv?

Transformer Induced voltage equation contains 4.44 factor.

E=4.44*f*T*phi
E -Induced emf per phase
T -number of turns
f -frequency
phi -maximum flux per pole
From the equation we see that E is proportional to 4.4 and it is in turn multiple of 11.

So always transmission voltage is multiple of 11
