when we r using 3.5 cable for a bldg. and put laod on each
phase using the neutral and neutral is the return paht for
the phase so the current of the neutral must be Ir+Ib+iY
(return).But the size of the netural is .5 as comper to the
phase.

Answer / k.p.sharma

IN 3PH. NEUTRAL CARRIES ONLY UNBALANCE CURRENT MEANS IF ALL
PHASE ARE CARRYING SAME FOR EXAMPLE 20AMPS THEN CURRENT IN
NEUTRAL WILL BE ALMOST ZERO AMPS.

Answer / saireen

3.5 c cable neutral is not the return path for the face but only that current which r unbalance among 3 phase, and that is sufficient to keep size 1\2 as compare to phase.

I have a shop heater with a 1/3 hp capacitor start, induction motor driving the fan. Intermittently, the fan motor speeds up significantly for several seconds (15-60 sec) then slows to normal operating speed. The manufacturer suggested changing the capacitor which made no sense, but I did it to no avail. Could this possibly be caused by the centrifugal switch intermittently reconnecting the start winding?

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?

Why different types of connection in transformers are used? (star/star,star/delta,delta/star,delta/delta)Why we are only taking in consideration of star/delta type transformers? if only star/delta is good in practice where doses other type of transformers are used? Note: i want to know place of using different types of transformers other than Star/delta type with brief description.
