    Difference Grid
AI Thread Summary
The discussion clarifies the distinction between a grid and a substation in electrical systems. A grid refers to the interconnected network that delivers electricity from producers to consumers, while a substation is a facility that transforms voltage levels and facilitates the distribution of electricity within the grid. Participants are encouraged to explore additional resources for a deeper understanding. Questions related to electrical concepts are welcome, provided they are not schoolwork-related. Engaging in the forum can enhance knowledge about electrical systems and their components.

I should not ask any question in this forum?
 
You are very welcome to ask questions, but only questions that are not schoolwork or homework.

If you have questions like that, you can ask them in the homework section, but only after you have made a reasonable effort to find the answer yourself.

You should take any electrical homework questions to this place:

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'What happens if shielded cable has a short to the shield?'

While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
