What is Harmonics in Power System,Generation,Effect

What is harmonics in power system? A power system harmonic is defined as a component of a periodic wave having a frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental power line frequency of 60 Hz. distortion in electrical current and voltage waveforms due to power system harmonics is shown in below image  Fundamental and 5th […]

Suspension Type Insulator and advantages

Electrical Insulators are used in an overhead line to provide insulation to power conductor from ground and tower or supporting structure. Generally, insulators are connected to cross arm of supporting structure and power conductor pass through the clamp of the insulator. In this article, we are going to discuss suspension type Insulators and its advantages. Suspension type insulator […]

What is power factor and current? Power triangle

  What is the power factor and power triangle? In the modern electrical distribution system, most of the loads are inductive in nature like motor,transformer, electrical furnace. when induction motor run on no load or light load, create lagging power factor. Reactive power is important because inductive loads required a magnetic field for functioning. Inductive […]

Advantages of HVDC power transmission over AC

Advantages of Direct current transmission compare to AC transmission  Why we use HVDC transmission instead ac transmission? 1) HVDC Transmission can operate with one conductor and ground as return path.on other hand AC transmission required 2 or more conductor, Hence conductor material saved.  Each conductor operate independently. 2)DC power  transmission is use for long distance […]
