Answer / rakesh sharma
there are two types of towers mainly.
1.self supporting towers 2.stayed or guyed towers
self supporting towers mainly devided into (a)wide base
&(b)narrow base.
foundation cost of the narrow base towers are greater than
wide base towers.
this is also devided into-
.tangent type towers(suspension insulator used in this type
tower)
.deviation type towers(tension type insulator used in this
type tower)
2.stayed type towers classifide into two type (a)portal type
&(b)v type (it redused weight & cost)

I have a situation to design sub-Distribution board/Panel meant for feeding power sockets. In the incomer CAN i Take TP MCCB with Neutral Link and All the outgoing feeders with to sockets with TP MCCB and Neutral Link? P.S : My System is IT Earthing
In secondary transmission i.e., in distribution side, supply for homes are connected through different phases in order to balance the 3 phase load. But in practical we saw nearby house doesn't have power due to single phasing. But other two phases give supply. How it's possible? it doesn't make "single phasing"?
Why it need to form a capcitor when it not been in use from three or two year. Plz describe it technically.
