Test 4 Flashcards
What is a main line?
A distribution line composed of either 3 phases and a neutral or just 3 phases.
Tap line?
Lines going directly to customers fed from the main line.
WYE system?
THREE phase line with a NEUTRAL
Primary?
The high voltage portion of a distribution line.
Secondary?
Is low voltage (120-480) and runs from PADMOUNT TO PEDESTAL
Services?
Also low voltage like secondary but run from pole to CUSTOMER.
Acceptable voltage range?
114-126 volts.
Phase to neutral?
7200 x 1.76
The majority of distribution poles are?
35-55ft high.
Underground is how many times more expensive than overhead?
4 times.
What material are insulators made of?
Porcelain or polymer.
Pole mounted transformer?
A key element used to reduce the voltage to a level that can be used by customers.
Designed to open all three phases but not break load?
Gangswitch
Designed to break fault duty.
Recloser
Used to connect inductive reactants?
Capacitors
