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 / j@ru ( sati)

as we know from R =pl\A bigger the size of area lesser the
resistance of conductor...so b using this concept earth pin
provides less resistance to leakage current compared to
other two pin hence leakage current by pass to earth without
damagng appliances..
thats all thank you

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
