Feeders are commonly used to supply power to or from a radio antenna. A feeder can be a pair of parallel wires with closely controlled spacing (twin-wire feeder), or a single wire inside a hollow cylindrical conductor (coaxial feeder.

In Canada the electrical term "feeder" is usually used incorrectly as a substitution for the terms wire or conductor. It is correctly defined is, any portion of an electrical circuit between the service box or other source of supply and the branch circuit over current devices.

In the U.S. of A, a feeder definition taken directly from the National Electrical Code: All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.

What is electrical graphics?

Electrical graphics refer to the visual representations of electrical systems, such as circuit diagrams, schematics, and wiring diagrams. These graphics are used to illustrate the connections between electrical components and help designers, engineers, and electricians understand and troubleshoot electrical systems.


What do you mean by electrical divice electrical appliances?

Electrical devices are devices that operate through electricity, while electrical appliances are specific types of devices that are designed to perform a particular household function, like refrigerators, TVs, or microwaves. Essentially, all electrical appliances are electrical devices, but not all electrical devices are necessarily classified as appliances.

What is electrical grading?

Electrical grading is a process used to determine the appropriate voltage levels for different sections of an electrical system to ensure proper coordination and protection. It involves analyzing the insulation strength and coordination of electrical equipment to prevent electrical breakdown and ensure safe operation of the system. Proper electrical grading helps maintain the reliability and efficiency of the overall electrical distribution system.

How you check the stability of the cable feeder?

To make sure that a feeder cable is secure it must be supported. The support distance is stated in the electrical code book. The code also gives support of cable trays, conduit and all the different ways to support cables.


WHAT is FCBC with DVR on dg electrical panel?

FCBC stands for &quot;Feeder Circuit Breaker Control,&quot; which is a system used in electrical panels to manage and protect feeder circuits. DVR refers to &quot;Dynamic Voltage Regulation,&quot; a technology that helps maintain a consistent voltage level despite fluctuations in supply or demand. In a DG (Distributed Generation) electrical panel, FCBC with DVR ensures that the feeder circuits operate efficiently and safely, providing better voltage stability and improving overall system reliability. This combination is particularly beneficial in systems that integrate renewable energy sources or other distributed generation technologies.
