Types of HT Circuit Breakers.

 There are several types of high-tension (HT) circuit breakers used in electrical systems, including:

1. Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs)

2. Vacuum Circuit Breakers (VCBs)

3. Oil Circuit Breakers (OCBs)

4. Sulphur Hexafluoride (SF6) Circuit Breakers

5. Hybrid Circuit Breakers


Each type has its own characteristics and applications, based on factors like voltage levels, breaking capacity, and environmental considerations. If you need more detailed information about a specific type, feel free to ask!

Types of electrical generator

 Electrical generators come in various types, each with its own working principles and applications. The most common types include: 1. **Alternating Current (AC) Generators:**    - Synchronous Generators: These produce AC voltage with a fixed frequency, typically used in power plants and industrial settings.    - Induction Generators: Also known as asynchronous generators, these are often used in wind turbines and small-scale power generation. 2. **Direct Current (DC) Generators:**    - Homopolar Generators: They produce direct current and are often used in specialized applications.    - Dynamo Generators: These are older, traditional DC generators used in early electrical systems. 3. **Internal Combustion Generators:**    - Diesel Generators: Commonly used for backup power and in remote locations.    - Gasoline Generators: Portable generators often used for residential backup power.    - Natural Gas Generators: Utilized in industrial and commercial settings for standby power. 4. **Ste

6 Differences between HT and LT Cables.

Open in app Sign up Sign In 6 Differences between HT and LT Cables. An electric cable is a bunch of more than one wires bundled together to pass an electric current. They are the most important part of the whole power transmitting systems as they help to transmit the power from one point to another. The cable comes in different sizes, shapes, and voltage range. Difference between LT and HT Cable: The categorization of cables can be done as low voltage cables or high voltage cables. They are also known as high tension (HT) cables and low tension (LT) cable. Further categorization of LT and HT Cables is done as follows: Rating :  LT cables have a rating from 660 V to 1100 V. Cables having a rating of above 3300 V (33kV) are termed as HT cables. Armouring :  Armouring refers to a protective covering for a cable.   Armouring  is present in both the cables either round or flat armouring, but some LT cables are unarmoured. Insulation :  Unlike other cables, LT and HT cables have a layer of i
