Advantages of Adopting High Voltage | Electrical Engineering

There are following advantages of adopting high voltage for transmission and distribution of electrical energy in dc system: (i) It reduces the size (area of x-section of the core carrying the current) of the feeders and distributors. Consider first of all a feeder. As no consumer is taped off from a feeder so voltage drops in feeder will not be [...]

Voltmeters and the Measurement of High Voltages | Electrical Engineering

In this article we will discuss about the connection of voltmeters for the measurement of high voltages. If the supply voltage is high, the resistance of the coil alone may not be sufficient enough to prevent flow of heavy current through the voltmeter. In order that a short-circuit may not occur between the lines at the point of connection, the [...]
