Why reverse power relay is used?

Answer Posted / abdul nazir

Normally reverse power relay is used for generator side.
when ever we will synchronise the generator with grid or
other generator, immediately we will increase the generator
load other wise the generator will take load from the other
side(grid or other generator). So the generator will run as
a motor.
to avoid these conditions,the reverse power relay will act
& trip the generator circuit breaker.

Can u explain : what is supply for train (whether a,c or d.c ).I know that supply is 25000v a.c .But there is rumour that supply is D.C. And also explain how lights and fans inside the trains are working ,and what type of motors are used in trains whether D.C motors or induction motors .If d.c motor, how it gets supply.If traction motors are used then what are traction motors and its functions and how it differs from other motors and also explain about locomotive . y d.c series motor in train.train wheels r driven by D.C shunt motor ,at what voltage,and at what speed. please reply..............
