It is device the produces refrigeration . 3. What is the most common and frequently used REFRIGERATION CYCLE ? Ans. VAPOUR -COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE. In which refrigerant is vapourised and condensed alternately .  Refrigerant is compressed in vapour phase . 4. What are the various REFRIGERATION  CYCLE ? Ans. a.  VAPOUR -COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE         b.  GAS REFRIGERATION CYCLE in which refrigerant is in gasious phase throughout the        cycle.         c.

Types of circuit fault

There are mainly three types of electrical faults . 1. Earth fault 2. Short circuit fault 3. Open circuit fault       1. Earth fault It happens due to breaking of insulation of wire and conductor of wire comes in contact with ships hull or in  the contact of body /enclosure . B is point marked as shown in figure. 2. Short circuit fault When insulation breaks at two points of same wire or two different wire then very high short circuit current flow through the circuit and it  damages the electrical loads . C is point marked as shown in figure. 3. Open circuit fault When conductor of wire breaks due to mechanical damages or loose connection . A is point marked as shown in figure. Source: Dennis T. Hall
