What is the role of link in neutral in a three phase ac
system?

Answer Posted / kevin fowke

The role of the link in a three phase system is to allow
complete safety isolation of the system for maintenance
purposes. When a 3 phase 4 wire system is used to supply
single phase loads between phases and neutral
disconnecting the neutral could cause a single phase load
to be subject to the same voltage as the phase to phase
voltage. Normally all 3 phases should be completely
disconnected BEFORE the neutral is disconnected. For this
reason a fuse is never placed in the neutral line of a
3phase 4-wire system. In a single phase system the
disconnection of the neutral before the phase line is not
that important.

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.

54 Comments Alok and Bhanu play the following min-max game. Given the expression N = 38 + X*(Y – Z) where X, Y and Z are variables representing single digits (0 to 9), Alok would like to maximize N while Bhanu would like to minimize it. Towards this end, Alok chooses a single digit number and Bhanu substitutes this for a variable of her choice (X, Y or Z). Alok then chooses the next value and Bhanu, the variable to substitute the value. Finally Alok proposes the value for the remaining variable. Assuming both play to their optimal strategies, the value of N at the end of the game would be?
