tower?

Answer / eng_entropy
For tension tower:-
It located between every three or four suspension tower to
pull the conductors which are re-tied in tension tower
insulators.
For suspension tower:-
The conductors just hung-up on it's insulators and not to
re-tied on it (I mean it just pass through a ring at the
end of the insulator).

Answer / pankaj singh khetwal
when routing of tower deviates an angle more than 2 degrees
then tower at point of deviation faces tension due to pull
in conductors and hence known as tension tower where as
tower with angle is less than 2 degrees line deviation is
known as suspension tower

Answer / vaidy
The tension tower carries both horizontal and vertical load.
The supporting tower carries only vertical loads.

Answer / malik
tension tower = (Road crossing,deviation in transmission
line )wr conductor is tied up firmly by means of tension
insulator
suspension tower = to minimize the sag the conductor s just
tied up with suspension insulators

Answer / dipanku goswami
Suspension tower is used where the angle of deviation of the TL route is 0-2 degrees. Here the conductor is simply suspended on the insulators.
where as tension towers (B,C,D type) are used where angle of deviationof the TL route vary from 2-60 degrees.Strain type insulators are usedc in this case.

Answer / gunasekaran
if u use insulator as a suspension type that is suspension
tower.use as a strain type that is tension tower. in strin
type sag is less than suspension.

Answer / simhachalam
Tension is above 90kn
Suspension is below 90kn

how to calculate AH of a battery?
Sir we have 12.5 MVA(110/11KV) transformer (Y-Y) connected,which tripped showing earth fault,when we charged transformer it stood OK ,but on connecting 11 KV feeders it tripped showing earth fault.our service engineers found that the B phase and R phase phase connecting to neutral broken from HV OLTC(on load tap changer),and R phase and Neutral is ok.Dissolved gas analysis shows that accetline content is high,tan delta value is 12.My dout is it is an internal fault of transformer,why REF or diffrential relay is not acted?
