In a test by Murray loop for ground fault on 600 m of cable having a resistance of 1.5 Ω/km, the faulty cable is looped with a sound cable of the same length and area of cross section. If the ratio of the other two arms of the testing network at balance is 3 : 1, find the distance of the fault from the testing end of cables.
Where, d is distance in m Q is value of variable resistor in ohm P is variable resistance in ohm Here Q/P = 1/3 is given, d = Q/(P + Q)*Loop length = 1/4*(2*600) = 300 m
A thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy. It is composed of several thermocouples connected usually in series or less commonly, in parallel. Thermopiles are used for contactless temperature sensing. The function of a thermopile is to transfer the heat radiation emitted from the object to a voltage output. The output is in the range of tens or hundreds of millivolts.
A term brown out means it is an intentional or unintentional drop in voltage in an electrical power supply system. Brown outs are long-term (hours-long) voltage sags caused by system overload. Deviations from the regular sinusoidal wave, both on the utility side and on the customer side, result in poor power quality.
