How do you think they do earthing or grounding in ships and aeroplanes?..

Answer / piero

most of cruise ships use NGR (Neutral Grounding Resistor)
connected from the star point of the generators to the hull
of the ship, so the ship is a giant grounding electrode

Answer / ram niveth

neutral is connected to the body of aircraft/ship.so body
is considered as earth for sensing earth fault

Answer / bimal

ONboard ship they use insulated neutral system ie the neutral is not having a 4th cable thats grounds it.hence the distribution system is 3 phase 3 wire system instead of 3 ph 4 wire as in shore systems

Answer / s.arunachalakumar

i think aeroplanes earthing provid by using air. Beacase
air can act as a conductor.ships earthed by using sea
water. beacase water is a conductor.

I hv a question regarding power factor improvement just after transformer. I request you to reply me plzz. thank you sir. My friend has a small unit of fabrication. in his factory the main load is a welding machine, lathe machine, grinding machine. this load is not continuous type. now our electricity board has installed 16 KVA, 11000/433 V transformer for our factory. In the energy meter (trivector meter) at LV side of transformer, i hv seen power factor value of 0.15 only when only 3 KW load was flowing. Further electricity board has suggested to install 4 KVAR capacitor at LV side after energy meter. Now my question is that if we permanantly install and switch on 4 KVAR capacitor after energy meter, during some load on transformer and also without any load on transformer, wht will be the power factor shown in energy meter?i dont want to get any penalty by electricity board, so plz suggest me if i can permanantly install and switch on the 4 kvar capacitor or not at LV side of transformer just after energy meter? Thank you again and awaiting for ur positive reply soon.
