When the potential difference between two conductors of a transmission line is raised beyond a certain limit, a point is reached when a violet glow appears around the conductor surface with a hissing noise and ozone gas smell this phenomenon…
3 point starter is used for shunt and compound DC motor. it is called a three-point starter because it has three terminals named L, F, and A. The terminal named L must be connected to either side i.e the positive or negative side…
Single-phase salient pole synchronous motors are called reluctance motors. the stator of the reluctance motor has the main winding and the auxiliary winding the same as the single-phase induction motor. The motor starts as an induction motor. It is pulled…
WHAT IS AN ELECTRICAL LOAD? An electrical load on a power system is any electrical appliance that consumes electrical energy and converts it into heat or in other forms. Different electrical devices use electrical power to convert it into another…
In the Delta connection, the dissimilar terminals of three phase windings are connected together. The finishing end of one phase is joined to the starting end of the other phase to obtain mesh or delta-connected winding. Delta connection in the…
A fuse is a small wire connected between two terminals that are mounted on an Insulating base and connected in series with a circuit. A fuse is the simplest and cheapest current interrupting device used to protect equipment from overload…
There are in general two types of transformer Shell type and core type transformer These two types differ from each other in the manner in which winding wound on the magnetic core. Core type Transformer In core type, the magnetic…
Step down transformer is an essential component of many electrical systems. They are used to convert high voltage, low current power into low voltage, high current power. This is important because many devices and appliances require lower voltage than what…
All electrical devices run on electrical power, the consumed energy is measured in terms of watts. the device used to measure consumed power is called a watt meter. to measure three-phase power mainly two methods are used namely two wattmeter…
Voltage control is performed by changing the transformer turn ratio. This is achieved by providing Tapping on the transformer winding. In a tap changing transformer, taping is either provided on the primary or on the secondary winding of the transformer.…
