A phase sequence is an order or sequence in which the currents or voltages of different phases attain their maximum values. In a three-phase system, there are only two possible phase sequences: R-Y-B (positive Phase Sequence) and R-B-Y (Negative Phase Sequence).
No of disc required for 11 kV transmission line = 1 disc Since the transmission line is 3-phase, therefore, the number of discs required for a single-pole will be 3. Total no. of poles = 80 No of disc = 3 × 80 = 240
Lap Winding:-In a lap winding the number of parallel paths (a) is always equal to the number of poles (p) and also to the number of brushes. In the given question number of poles is 4 hence the number of brushes will be 4. Wave Winding:- In wave windings, the number of parallel paths (a) is always two and there may be two or more brush positions.
Skin Effect The steady direct current distributes itself uniformly over the whole section of a conductor but the alternating current does not distribute uniformly rather than it tends to concentrate near the surface of a conductor. In fact in the AC system, no current flows through the core and the entire current is concentric at the surface regions. This phenomenon is called skin effect. The skin effect causes the effective resistance of the conductor to increase with the frequency of the current. The skin effect is due to eddy currents set up by the AC current. The skin effect has practical consequences in the design of radiofrequency and microwave circuits and to some extent in AC electrical power transmission and distribution systems.
