How do you measure the current and voltage in high tension line?

To measure high voltage use suitable instrument transformer (potential transformer) Very carefully. It can kill you. The higher the voltage the more the danger or arcing over even when two conductors are not touching. Voltage meters are rated and the rating should not be exceeded. Depending on the voltage you will need the proper meter and a high voltage probe rated for the voltage you are measuring. If you don't know what you are doing, don't mess with high voltage. Leave to the pros.


What are the differences between high voltage switch gear and medium voltage switch gear?

a switchgear is a term used with the electric power distribution system, and is basically a large switch or set of switches used in switching very high voltages at very high currents and can occasionally have arc overs, though they are ushually supressed by a number of safety measures. medium voltage probably being under 100KV but more than 5KV, but that's just a guess as to voltage ratings...


What is the medium voltage of circuit breaker?

low is below 600V medium 600 to 2500V High above 2500V usually medium and high voltage equipment is called switchgear the current is monitored and 3 shorts within 10 minutes will open the switch overloads are usually 200% for over 20 minutes but the big stuff is programable

High Voltage Festival was created in 2010.


What color is used for phasing medium voltage?

In the electrical trade, there is no such thing as "medium" voltage. Line voltage is broken down into "low" and "high". Low line voltage is 220/110 volt power. In a single phase supply the only required colors are white or grey for the neutral or grounded conductor and green or bare copper for the earth ground, or grounding conductor.In three phase power supplies, low line voltage (220/110) is marked : Phase A -black, Phase B - red, Phase C - blue.In three phase high line voltage (480/277) conductors are marked : A -brown, B - orangeC - yellow. Neutrals are still marked white or grey. White is normally used for low voltage neutrals and grey for high voltage neutrals.In the trade, "low voltage" is considered circuits below 50 volt, such as 12 and 24 volt control circuits, fire alarm, etc.

How many volts in medium voltage electricity?

Medium voltage is hard to determine. There are different levels of voltage in different fields. Though many say medium and high voltage can be interchanged it is as shown to be anything from 300-600V .

What are the difference between high voltage and low voltage?

Hi, The main difference is Fuel consumption. High current genertors always consumes much fuel because the load on the engine will be high. The high voltage low current generators doesn't need much fuel to run. You can understand this by comparing 1 kva and 5 kva single phase generators. For both generators voltage will be same (230v) But output current differs. So the fuel consumption also differs. But you get a high current source. Low voltage high current generators can be used for welding kind of stuffs which needs high current to do the job. If you have step down transformer then you can save the fuel.

Does the distance between electrodes affect the voltage?

Not materially. The voltage is determined by the composition of the electrodes and the medium in which they are placed.
