Copper loss is proportional to the square of load current. At half load, load current becomes half as voltage remains the same, so the copper loss will become (1/2)2 i.e 1/4 times of full load copper loss. At full load copper Loss = I2R At half load copper Loss = (I/2)2 × R = I2/4 × R 400 = I2/4 × R I2R = 4 × 400 I2R = Full load copper Loss = 1600 W
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The total number of the conductor in stranded cable is given by N = 3x2 − 3x + 1 Where x = no. of layer For layer 1 N1 = 3(1)2 − 3(1) + 1 N1 = 1 For layer 2 N2 = 3(2)2 − 3(2) + 1 N2 = 7 In layer 2 no. of conductor = N2 − N1 = 7 − 1 = 6 For layer 3 N3 = 3(3)2 − 3(3) + 1 N3 = 19 In layer 3 no. of conductor = N3 − N2 = 19 − 7 = 12
The inductance of the coil is given by the relation L = Nφ/I Where N = number of turns = 50 φ = flux = 200μWb I = current = 8 A L = 50 × 200 × 10−6 ⁄ 8 L = 1.25 mH
Magnetic Field Strength (H) gives the quantitative measure of strongness or weakness of the magnetic field. H = B/μo Where B = Magnetic Flux Density μo = Vacuum Permeability Magnetic field due to infinite Linear current-carrying conductor is B = μoI/2πr B/μo = I/2πr H = (I/2πr)A/m
