what is over frequency protection

Answer Posted / aditya

over frequency occurs when the RPM of prime mover goes above the rated speed. This protection is basically for prime mover and gives a trip signal to the prime mover in case of overspeed so that the centrifugal forces dont damage the prime mover and alternator rotor. This is generally a result of faulty speed governor or sudden throw off or throw in of large magnitude. In addition overspeeding will also result in increase of supply frequency. certian electronic equipments are very sensitive to freq and get damaged hence over freq protection is given.

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir
