Grounding of Impulse Testing Laboratories

Grounding of Impulse Testing Laboratories: An earth or ground system means an established stable .reference potential normally taken to be zero. There are three types of Grounding of Impulse Testing Laboratories are: the ideal ground, single point ground (Fig. 11.4a), and the bus ground (Fig. 11.4b). Of all these, the best ground is the ideal …

High Voltage Test on Radio

High Voltage Test on Radio: Many electrical apparatuses like transformers, line conductors, rotating machines, etc. produce unwanted electrical signals in the radio and high frequency (television band, microwave bands, etc.) ranges. These signals arise due to corona discharges in air, internal or partial discharges in the insulation, sparking at commutators and brush gear in rotating …
