1) Explain why we don't link the two earthing system ht and mv on a pole mounted transformer sub-station.

Answer Posted / Vishal Kumar

HT (High Tension) and MV (Medium Voltage) earthing systems should not be linked in a pole-mounted transformer substation due to safety concerns and operational considerations. Here are some reasons:

1. Different voltage levels: HT and MV systems operate at significantly different voltages, which can create hazardous conditions if they are improperly connected.
2. Ground potential rise (GPR): Linking the two earthings can cause ground potential rise, which might induce undesirable currents in nearby neutral conductors, leading to equipment damage or even electrical fires.
3. Insulation coordination: The insulation between phases and between phase and earth is designed based on specific voltage levels. Mixing HT and MV systems can lead to improper insulation coordination and increased risk of accidents.

1. for eg, capacitor is used for many purposes(it act as filter, oscillator, bypass capacitor, memory storage etc...) 2. Please tell me some example circuits for different uses of capacitor( whenever and whereever and however we used capacitor as a filter, oscillator tuning etc..) 3. similarly for inductor and resistors(it act as what?) and when and how we want to act as like that?, and how we can used these components depends upon our requirments with example circuits and explanation? design to act as these components depends
