In power point wiring,often,we use less size of earth wire
compared to phase & neutral wire and we use big size pin in
pug top. how is it justified? can we use small size cable
for earthing?

Answer Posted / santosh kawade

We use big size pin and socket for power point to reduce
resistance in earth pat and to alway connect earthing first
to equipment before connecting mains and neutal in system.

Using low size cable for earthing in single phase can not
be justified, we have to use same size cable for neutral,
eathing and mains.

In three phase we can use lower size cable for earthing and
neutral.

A 400 V, 50 Hz, Δ connected synchronous generator has a field reactance of 0.1 Ω and armature resistance of 0.015 Ω. At full load, the machine supplies 1200 A at 0.8 pf lagging. Under full-load conditions, the friction and windage losses are 40 KW and the core losses are 30 KW. What is the machine’s overall efficiency? Ignore any field circuit losses.

hi, in the event earth grounding is not available in a project, is there any other way to make the elcb work? fyi, i have an instant water heater (6.5kw) installed, however if there is grounding in the heating element inside the heater assembly, i will get grounded. thank you in advance to those who will answer my question.
