Murray loop test is performed on a faulty cable 300 m long. At balance, the resistance connected to the faulty core was set at 20 Ω and the resistance of the resistor connected to the sound core was 40 Ω. Calculate the distance of the fault point from the test end.
Dynamic voltage restoration (DVR) is a method of overcoming voltage sags and swells that occur in electrical power distribution. Devices used for DVR include static var devices, which are series compensation devices that use voltage source converters (VSC). The DVR is used to inject three phase voltage in series and in synchronism with the network voltages in order to compensate voltage disturbances with a benefit of active /reactive power control.

Type B MCB: Type B devices are generally suitable for domestic applications. They are designed to trip at fault currents of 3 - 5 times rated current.
Type C MCB: Type C devices are the normal choice for commercial and industrial applications These devices are designed to trip at 5 - 10 times rated current
Type D MCB: The Type D devices have more limited applications, normally in industrial use where high inrush currents may be expected. Type D devices are designed to trip at 10 - 20 times.
