What is the difference between Ac curent & DC current

Answer / amit kumar singh
The major differences in AC and DC are as follows:
1)The magnitude of DC does not change as long as load and
source voltage remain same and its mgnitude depends only on
resistance of load. But, in AC it varies as a function of
cosine and its magnitude depends on Impedence (R+jX) of the
load.
2)DC flows in only one direction in a circuit, but AC
changes its direction every half cycle.
3)Due to variable magnitde and direction of AC (oscillating
nature), it has a frequency of oscillation. But, DC has no
frequency (i.e. f=0).
4)AC has Skin Effect (i.e., it flows more at the surface of
conductor and lesser inside the conductor which is the
effect due to its frequency). But, as DC has zero
frequency, it flows throughout the volume of the conductor.

What are various modes for Mechanical interlocking of breakers (for both MCCBs & ACBs)
I am designing new project sub station with 220 kV / 11 kV, 40 MVA capacity. This project have many recifier sets, which can generate 3rd harmonics. Now I have to select vector group of This transformer. To minimise 3rd harmonics, what care should I take in selection of Transformer Vecrtor group? If it is Y-Y with open Delta tertiary then what should be the rating & voltage of Tertiary Winding?

We have a couple of oil tanks at our plant. One of them does not have a lightning arrester installed. My question is it necessary to install an arrestor on every tank or will this particular one be covered by the arrestor installed on the ajdacent tank, Since all the tanks are close to each other. Basically, I want to know that if these arrestors or protection works in a parituclar area of effect or influence. Thanks
