Why is the voltage of the supply decreased before entering our homes ?

Physics
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

After power is generated at a power plant, its voltage is increased by a step-up transformer. The power then travels through transmission lines to a neighborhood where it will run homes, offices, and factories. But before entering the neighborhood, the power's voltage is decreased by a step-down transformer

Transformers can be used either to increase the voltage (called "stepping up") or decrease the voltage ("step down"). When electrical energy travels long distances in wires, some of the energy is lost. ... Later, the voltage is stepped down before it enters your home - once again using transformers

Conductors, type SIS, for switchboard wiring, have a maximum operating temperature of: _______
Sati [7]

Conductors, type SIS, for switchboard wiring, have a maximum operating temperature of: 194 degree Fahrenheit.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A Panelboard or Switchboard wire is known as SIS.This type of SIS, have tin coating and it is manufactured with a copper conductor insulation.  It is helpful for facilitating solder and also it will be easy to fix them in tighter spaces because for their flexible nature.

As they are insulated with XLPE  they can be used at a voltage operating at 600 V and can be used at a temperature of 194 degree Fahrenheit or 90 degree Celsius. of The XLPE(Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulation is rated for use at 90°C in either wet or dry locations at an operating voltage of 600 V. They can be used for distribution, panel and switch board wiring.
