In power system protection, circuit breaker tripping is crucial if any fault occurs in the system. If the trip circuit is unhealthy and the fault occurs, the circuit breaker will not trip, the fault will pass through the circuit breaker…
Double Revolving Field Theory The double field revolving theory of single phase induction motor is proposed to explain this problem of no torque developed at starting and yet torque once rotated. Double revolving field theory is based on the fact…
Zener Diode is a special type of diode that can conduct in forward as well as in reverse bias mode. This special diode is named after American physicist Dr. Clarence Melvin Zener. We will discuss working principles that underscore its…
Types of insulation classes used in electrical motor/ transformer There are three main categories of insulating materials, gases, liquids, and solids. The types of insulating materials are classified mainly based on thermal capability. types of insulation classes for electric motors…
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…
