what difference between tapping -15% to +5 % and -5% to +15% tap. & how can define HV turns on..

Answer / dinesh

it is the percentage of voltage variation... suppose u take
-15 to +5 means,

From 100% of the transformer voltage u can increase 5%(105%) or decrease 15% (85%).... + defines increase and - defines decrease...

This is done by varying the number of turns by the OLTC...

and the next question, suppose u have 400 turns at 100% then at +5% it is 420 turns and -15% means 340 turns.....

Answer / k.prakashchandra

That is correct.As the tapping is done on primary side, with
+5% tap you are decreasing secondary voltage by 5% or you
use that tap when the primary voltage increases by 5% to
maintain the secondary voltage steady.Then N1/N2 = 105/100

Please clarify, 1. Is it required to lay two runs of GI wire along with Armoured LT cable if it is laid between one big mains (63Amps TPN SDF) to small main (32A TPN SDF) with proper glanding termination? 2. If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from DB to CNC machine, is it required to run two runs of body earthing to the Machine from DB? 3.If the armoured cable with proper glanding is laid from Substation to Hangar, distance is approx. 100 mtrs, is it required to do earthing at shop area though the primary termination at substation is earthed through gland.
