Murray loop test is performed on a faulty cable 300 m long. At balance, the resistance connected to the faulty core was set at 20 Ω and the resistance of the resistor connected to the sound core was 40 Ω. Calculate the distance of the fault point from the test end.
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. Thermopiles are used to provide an output in response to temperature as part of a temperature measuring device

Dielectric faults occur in the winding due to turn-to-turn insulation breakdown. It is the insulation between the turns of the winding. Insulation breakdown commonly occurs due to high current and voltage which are high above the rated values. The breakdown of the insulation results in the flashover of the winding turns and cause a short circuit.
Deterioration of oil may occur due to the result of prolonged overloading of the transformer. Excessive oil temperature produces the formation of sludge, water, and acids. Moisture entering the oil as a result of the breathing action greatly reduces its dielectric strength so that breakdown from coils or terminal leads to tank or core structure may take place.
