The total number of the conductor in stranded cable is given by N = 3x2 − 3x + 1 Where x = no. of layer For layer 1 N1 = 3(1)2 − 3(1) + 1 N1 = 1 For layer 2 N2 = 3(2)2 − 3(2) + 1 N2 = 7 In layer 2 no. of conductor = N2 − N1 = 7 − 1 = 6 For layer 3 N3 = 3(3)2 − 3(3) + 1 N3 = 19 In layer 3 no. of conductor = N3 − N2 = 19 − 7 = 12
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
The ratio of luminous flux leaving the surface (Reflected Light) to the luminous flux incident on it (Incident Light) is known as the reflection factor. Reflection Factor = Reflected light/Incident light The value of the Reflection factor is always less than 1.
