Why we didn’t feel electric shock in an electric train ??
Answer Posted / kaji mustufa
As the source used in trains is from overhead lines and it makes contact with PENTOGRAPH contactor but pentograph contactor is insulated from coaches by mounting insulator discs on the top of train..
summerising, electric train and source (i.e. 25kV dc) is electricaly not connected.. Hence no shock....

Sir, My doubt on cable sizing calculation, Load:74 KW calculated cable 1 run 50mm2. Now client asking us to reduce cable size by increasing runs. Sir, My question now when my mind strikes with 2 options 1) Divide load 74/2 = 36 and calculate cable for 36+36 making it 2 runs or 2) Simply i can divide 50mm2 /2 ie. 2 runs of 25mm2 Please suggest me sir

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

During Testing of Maintenance Free Earthing, How deep should be the Spikes of Earth Test Meter should be inserted in the soil(one spike is 15 Meter & Other spike is 30 Mtrs away from the Main Earth Electrode. Because, recently, we observed that when spike is inserted 3-4 Inch in the earth- results are better, If spike is inserted 1 feet deep than results are increasing.
