The thickness of the layer of insulation on the conductor, in cables, depends upon___________?
Correct answer: C. voltage
- A. reactive power
- B. power factor
- C. voltage
- D. current carrying capacity
Explanation
Insulation thickness is primarily determined by the voltage stress that the insulation must withstand. Current capacity mainly determines conductor cross-sectional area, not insulation thickness.
