why earth hole size is biggest in plug point?
Answer Posted / mahendra
earth hole size is biggest in plug point because, when we
took out the plug from socket the phase & neutral terminals
of socket comes first then the earth contact. Due to safty
purpose Earth contact should be disconnect at the last
moment this prevent any damage to human being and equipment
as well for any abnormal conditions. Another reason for
that is to keeping large contact area for earth because in
fault like earth & short circuit a large current
approximately 6 times flows through circuit.

I have a drawing of a wound rotor induction motor for a crane. This crane motor has 5 forward speeds & 5 reverse speed implemented of course with different amount of resistance for each speed setting selected. What has got me scratching around is the fact that 8 of the 10 speed selections switch in uneven (unbalanced) amounts of resistances on each of the 3 connections to the motor's rotor.Can this be possible? I would have assumed this would produce unbalanced rotor currents and therefore vibration in the motor. I would greatly appreciate anyone's comments on this. Many thanks, Confused.

If the rated speed of a d.c. Shunt motor is1440 r.p.m, which method of speed control would you suggested to obtain a speed of 1500 r.p.m?
why co incidence factor considered in transformer sizing?
ii) A shunt motor supplied at 230V, runs at 900 rpm when the current is 30A. The resistance of the armature is 0.4 ohms. Calculate the resistance required in series with the armature to reduce the speed to 600 rpm, assuming that the armature current is then 20A. [12]
