Answer / somnath sharma
The use of earth switches is to send any trapped charge in the line into ground after the line is switched off.
Mainly what happens, when the line is switched off, some charges remain trapped in line due to their own capacity and also due to influence of side by X-line. This trapped charge is dangerous if someone goes for maintenance of that very line. So it is very much required to neutralise that much charge and here comes the use of earth switches.

Earthing Switch is necessary to earth the conducting parts
before maintenance and also to provide deliberate
short-current while testing.This enables various tests to be
performed on the Switchgear or item of equipment, such as
testing the current Transformer of measuring the operating
time of breakers, without having to open the enclosure.
During normal operation the insulation is bypassed by a
short-circuit-proof link.

Hi, We facing one similar problem in our computers i.e we are newly constructed our design department after that shifted our computers but our computer desktop screen is vibrating. we are conducted our electrical maintainance person he told that is UPS problem, then we changed the UPS also again we are facing that problem in that room only. then we put lcd monitors that problem is solved.

why generator one end side star neutral point given? if this point not given what happen?
1. If we apply dc supply to the primary winding of transformer it will be burnt out. similarly dc supply is given to field winding of syn. motor and armature winding of dc motor, they are safe. (Remember both windings inductive nature) what is the reason behind that?
