Desperate.

well, 2molo will be our 2nd test for this semester.
and it's by mr ruhaizad. sigh~

Power Quality...
i've got a strange feeling we haven't
learn that much to actually
go through a test...
just feeling clueless...

I NEED TIPS!!! hahaha...

i bet the 6 methods to
prevent fault will be out.
so, heads up guys!

so, since i'm being nice, this is the answer!

lightning arrester
- placed every two or three poles along the feeder and the distribution lines.
- non metal oxide devices which can withstand high flashover voltage due to gaps in the path of discharge current

tree trimming
- to avoid branches from touching the line due to strong wind
- the branch will cause a short circuit towards the ground

animal guards
- to avoid nests formation. bird dropping are acidic hence, corroding the cable line
- to deter other animals such as monkeys, squirrels and foxes hanging on or biting the lines.

pole grounds
- to check tower footing resistance
- when resistance is relatively high, lightning energy will take more time to dissipate.
- hence, it has to be kept low

shielding wires
- placing grounded neutral line on top of power lines and stretched between adjacent towers
- it diverts lightning energy to ground

insulator washing
- using distilled water to reduce salt contamination in coastal areas
- contaminated wires will form conductive layer that causes flashover voltage.


well, these are not tips. but just something to help you guys.
for extra answers on your question.
