Consider an AC voltage of magnitude “V” having frequency “f” is applied to the primary side of the transformer. ac flux Φm is set up in the transformer core, this flux links with the both primary and secondary winding of the transformer.…
Mainly two tests are carried out on the electrical transformer which are the open circuit test and short circuit test of the transformer also known as the SC and OC tests. Key takeaways: The purpose of these tests is to…
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…
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…
A machine that converts DC power into mechanical power is known as DC motor. Dc motor has different types, dc motor has been used in industrial applications for years. Connecting with DC drive, dc motor provides very accurate control over…
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…
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…
Definition: The difference between the true value and the measured value of the quantity is known as an error in measurement. The error in measurement can not be eliminated completely but it can be minimized. there are various types of…
Autotransformer starter working pdf The squirrel cage induction motor started on full line voltage using D O L starter as a starting method draws a very large starting current which can damage motor winding and also create a current surge on the power system.…
A synchronous motor is a machine that rotates at a constant speed called synchronous speed and converts electrical power to mechanical power. Synchronous motors Starter winding fed with a three phase AC supply and field winding is excited using a…
