What is the purpose of main switches?

The main breaker limits the overall current to the building. Most buildings have many branch circuits that sum to more current than the service is rated for. This is not a problem as all the branch circuits are not used under high current draws at the same time. The main breaker protects the main wiring in the meter and to the transformer, and the transformer itself, from heavy current loads. It also protects from shorts in the main distribution panel.


What is a main distributors service cable and what is it connected to when first enering a build?

The main supply will first come from the power company to a transformer to reduce the voltage then from the transformer to the weatherhead then through the house meter to the main disconnect on the outside of building then to the switchgears main. The cable coming from the transformer to the meter and to the top of the main disconnect is the Main service cable


What is the purpose of transformer core?

yes core is usefull in transformer since it it increase the permeability for the flux (i..e,it offers less relucyance path thanj air ).Their by decresing the losses in the transformer.
