Best Answer

You can reduce induced voltage in control cable by applying the following methods.

1. While laying control cable keep a minimum distance 300mm from the power cable.

2. If possible try to lay control cable on the separate cable tray.

3. Earth the Armour/ screen of the control cable on both side of the cable or at-least at one side.

Some times it is not important to reduce the the induced voltage in control cable, but it's effect on relay or contactor as the contactor or relay does not pick-down even after the removal of the control supply. In that case it is recommended to use two relay/contactor in parallel and use the contacts in series or parallel for control circuit interlocking.

How do you reduce voltage in a circuit?

You reduce voltage in a DC circuit with a resistor. If the power demands are high, however, you may need a switching voltage regulator.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of instrumentation amplifier?

Advantages:Even a small value of input voltage can be amplified using instrumentation amplifier.Disadvantages:For transmission purpose for long range, noise also gets superimposed along the original wave. Therefore specific cables are used to reduce noise.


How do you reduce a ripple voltage?

You reduce ripple voltage by adding a low-pass filter. In the simplest case, you put a capacitor after the rectifier. The peak voltage will be the rectifier output voltage less the forward bias of the rectifier, while the minimum voltage will depend on current and capacitance. In a more complex case, you could use an LC filter, making the peak voltage smaller. Specifics are dependent on the power and performance requirements.


How do you reduce the Power dissipation?

Answer for mechanical systems:Use oil or grease to reduce friction!Answer for electrical systems:Making the voltage as high as possible is a good way to reduce power loss.ExplanationThe voltage drop along a conductor is proportional to the resistance and to the current carried. (V=IxR) So, for a given quantity of Power (W=VxI), if the voltage is made as high as possible there will be less current flowing and therefore less power loss.

Why is the core is laminated alternatively in motor?

Cores are laminated to reduce circulating currents, called 'eddy currents', which are caused by voltages induced into the core. As each lamination is effectively insulated from its neighbours, its cross-sectional area and, thus, its resistance is increased. Additionally, the voltage induced into each lamination is much lower than would be induced into an unlaminated core -so, the combination of lower induced voltages and higher resistances significantly reduce energy losses in the core.
