What are the disadvantages of corona?

The disadvantages are.....1. Power loss 
                                          2. Unacceptable noise 
                                          3. It causes radio interference.

What is Basic Impulse Level (BIL)?

 Basic Impulse Level (BIL) refer to the peak value of lightning impuse voltage withstand capability of the equipment

What is creepage distance?

Creepage distance is the shortest distance between two conducting points along the surface of the insulating material. 

What are different insulators employed in substations?

Some of the insulators employed in substations are:

  • Pin insulators 
  • Post insulators 
  • Strain insulators 
  • Suspension insulators 
  • Hallow apparatus insulators 
  • Dead-end insulators
  • Solid core insulators

What are advantages of PLCs over RTUs?

  • Advantages of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are they can be used for general purpose can easily set for verity of functions. 
  • Some of the advantages of PLCs over RTUs are: PLCs are reliable, cheap, flexible compared to RTUs, sophisticated control and troubleshooting in PLC is easier. 

What does Central Processing Unit (CPU) of PLC consists?

  •  CPU is the brain of the PLC and that is consists of
                  Microprocessor: To carryout arithmetic and logical operations
                  Memory: The area in the CPU in which the information is stored and retrieved from.
                  Power Supply:  The electrical supply that converts the ac voltage to various DC operating voltages.

What is SCAN in PLC ?

  • The sequential operation of the controller that goes through the ladder diagram from top to bottom of the ladder. 
  • In this process it updates all the outputs corresponding to the inputs. 
  • SCAN takes place from left to right of each rung.
  •  Usually SCAN time is in milliseconds and it is a continuous process.

What are the different components in PLC?

1. Input interface
2. Central Processing Unite
3. Memory section.
4. Programming tools
5. Output Interface.
