form factor of alternating current is 1.1, which is the
ratio of rms value to average value of alternating current.
so generation of ac is in multiple of11, like
11kv,22kv,33kv,44kv etc
It is nothing but a joke.
If HT voltage rating is always in multiple with 11, then
how we get 25kV,400kV,800kV?
It is a standard of AC voltage to maintain.
The value of form factor is 1.1 which is calculated for the
sine wave. At this value of form factor, leakage flux is
minimum and efficiency is maximum for any electrical
machines. These machines are operated at sine waves.
it seems that it is due to form factor but Actually it is
not due to form factor,if there is necessarily multiple of
11 then how can we get 400,127 or etc etc....
i think by changing factors and certain conditions it is
possible to minor change in form factor then how we are
getting same form factor since the production of
electricity....
it is just a misconception of introduction of form factor....
At the time of generation there are many type of losses
therefore earlier use to write 10(+/- 1%)kv so thats why we
generally use to write it as 11kv.Since our ancestral make it
a standard of 11kv,33kv,66kv and as the year pass,many
engineers added a new myth of form factor,10% loss of actual
power.....and thus it make us to suffer a lot.
Since there is 230kv and still like 765kv which are not
multiple of 11.
and production in 11kv and 33kv is more ecnomical
how calculate external illumintion in a compound area. for
e.g. there is one open park having 600m2 area and i have to
put 40w flouresent tube fitting with pole. how shall i
calculate the numbers of fitting.
