Answer Posted / sk.raffique
When two current carrying contacts are separated in a
vacuum module, an arc is drawn between them. An intensely
hot spot or sparks are created at the instant of contact
separation from which metal vapor shoot off, constituting
plasma. The amount of vapour in the plasma is proportional
to the rate of vapour emission from the electrodes, hence
to the arc current. With alternating current arc, the
current decreases during a portion of wave and tends to
zero. Thereby the rate of vapour emission tends to zero and
the amount of plasma tends to zero. Soon after natural
current zero, the remaining metal vapour condenses and the
dielectric strength builds up rapidly, and restriking of
arc is prevented.
This principle is used in vacuum circuit breakers

I have been using an 600VA with 0.6 p.f UPS with my desktop which has 450W power supply unit. Can anyone explain how can this happen . Because the output of the UPS is 360W (600*0.6) (<450W)

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
