when earth fault occurs very near to the neutral point of wye winding, the voltage available for driving earth fault current is small. Hence fault current is low. Relay has to be too sensitive and then it can operate for spurious signals like external faults, switching surges etc.

How does current transformer works in a substation?

A current transformer works on the same principle as that of a simple transformer however it steps down the high current into a low level so that it can be measured using an ammeter of a suitable range. In some current transformers extra cores are provided. This is done in order to prevent the faulty currents i.e. the over currents, earth faults, differential protections. The extra cores of a C.T. gets saturated as soon as the faulty currents starts flowing and thereby does not harm the main core of the transformer and the ammeter connected. The C.T. is always connected in the line carrying current. It first steps down the current to a measureable form and further gives this current to the ammeter.

What is the function of restraining coils in differential relay?

Restraining coils are also called as bias coils. Due to the difference in the magnetizing currents of the upper and lower current transformers the current through the operating coil will not be zero even under normal loading conditions or external fault conditions. therefore to provide stability on external faults bias coils are provided. To obtain the required amount of biasing a suitable ratio of the biasing coils with restraining coils to be provided.

Are alpha particles suitable for detecting underground leaks in pipes?

Alpha particles are simple helium nuclei, and form the bulk of ionizing radiation. However, since alpha particles are much larger and heavier than beta radiation (electrons) and gamma radiation (photons), they are easily blocked by lightweight solids, such as paper. Therefore, they would be a poor means of detecting underground leaks in pipes, since they would not travel well through dense ground or metal.

Has the world ever shook?

Yes, even explosions can be felt round the world by suitable equipment. This is one of the bases of detecting nuclear explosions anywhere in the world. And of course, larger earthquakes can be felt and measured most places in the world and this forms an important part of determining the exact location and size of them.
