The capacity factor is the ratio of an actual electrical energy output over a given period of time to the maximum possible electrical energy output over that period. Nuclear power plants are at the high end of the range of capacity factors
When voltage changes occur in rapid succession, with magnitudes large enough to cause lighting level variations. The human eye-brain response is most sensitive to periodic r.m.s. voltage changes that occur at around 8 - 10 cycles per second.
Buchholz relay is used for protecting transformer against incipient or internal faults. Buchholz relay is a gas-actuated relay installed in oil immersed transformers for protection against all kinds of faults.
