What is the function of Lightning Arrester & Wavetrap in
Power system ??

Answer Posted / jay prakash

a wawe trap is the device which trap the high frequency
signals to enter into substation.
As XL =2 Pi w f L as impedence is directly proprtional to
frequency thus provide high impedane for high frequency
(carrier frequency)& vice versa.

lightning arrester prevent the substation from lightning
impulse, under normal condion impedace of air gap is high
enough for the voltage i.e no discharge, in case of
lightning high voltage appears around air gap and cause a
discharge through air and go to ground and prevent from
fault

A 7 storey building has a floor area of 35,000sq.ft on each storey. On the ground floor 11KV electrical sub-station is to be erected. A load of 3kw for every 400sq.ft (p.f is 0.8) is proposed for each floor. fire pump 7.5hp, water pump 5hp, lift 2 nos, each 10hp and 20shop load of each shop is 5kw. calculate a. load each floor b. total load of building c. L.T feeders for aech floor and from transformer to main. d. distribution diagram e. capacity of sub-station/capacitor bank f. line diagram
