Where the excitation is given either stator or rotor in
actually in power plants?

Answer Posted / arun

excitation is needed for the AC generator, it cannot be self
excited, so we need a dc supply to excite the field (pilot
exciter, field flashing etc.,), dc supply is given to the
slip rings of rotor through brushes. and then AVR (automatic
voltage regulator) also used to increase or decrease the
level of excitation given the field of the rotor,

L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is located at a place from where transmission line enters the transmitting substation. So L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is the first equipments which has to encounter with lightening, high voltage surges and switching surges. It has to absorb energy of lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges. L.A. (Lightening Arrester) is made up of layers of semiconductors. If these layers can not tolerate energy released by lightening, high voltage surges, and switching surges the L.A. (Lightening Arrester) blasts.

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
