Please next time do show the connectorS from switch room to transformer, current transformer and onto switchgear over the busbar and out onto the outgoing line and I take it the 33kV will connect to a 33kV transition line right? Or it gets boosted or lowered

    We’ve just recently switched to the repl terms on the 11kv and I’m not much of a fan. They never land in the right place on the lug and they’re instantly tight as soon as they’ve shrunk so there’s no movement up and down. Looks like the 33’s are the same crack 🙄 Don’t tell anybody but I put a very thin smear of silicone grease around the bit of the lug that they land on and you can then get a bit of movement so they’re in the right place 🤫

    Just wondering with this high voltage works that you often do is it often high current or is the cable simply very big because it runs along distant at high voltage as it seems kind of counterintuitive to use a very big cable whilst being high voltage or is it all about voltage drop?

    • @hvsparky
      @hvsparky 2 месяца назад

      Im not the person that designs what cable goes in where, but usually to do with loading in terms of what size cable goes in.

    • @TronicUK
      @TronicUK Месяц назад

      It’s a 185mm conductor but it’s made of aluminium . The copper equivalent would be roughly half the size . At this voltage a 2MVA transformer only needs around 100 amps per phase on the primary side to output 2000 amps on the secondary side. To conclude 185mm aluminium isn’t very big …
