Why single-phase induction motor is not self-starting? Single-phase induction motor Starting winding to make self starting A single phase induction motor is very similar to a three phase squirrel cage induction motor except for single-phase motor, not self-starting.It has (i) a squirrel-cage rotor as to a…
An induction generator is also called an asynchronous generator. An induction machine can work as a generator. For working as a generator initially, the three-phase induction motor is started as a motor. During motoring operation, it draws reactive volt-amperes from…
The efficiency and regulation of the transformer can be calculated using open circuit and short circuit test on the transformer but to measure temperature rise during operation, it is necessary to conduct a full load test on the transformer. for…
Synchronous motors play a crucial role in various industries, although their usage is relatively limited compared to induction motors. While induction motors are widely used because of their cheap prices, rugged construction, and low maintenance, synchronous motors offer unique advantages…
The dielectric strength of transformer oil is known as BDV or break-down voltage. A Transformer Oil BDV test is performed to find the dielectric strength of transformer oil. BDV is the minimum voltage withstand the capacity of transformer oil without…
What Is Buchholz Relay? Buchholz relay is a mechanically operated relay that is used to protect the transformer from internal faults that occur inside the transformer tank like an inter-turn fault. Buchholz relay is an oil and gas-operated device. The…
Auto transformer is a transformer in which part of the winding is common to both the primary winding circuit and a secondary winding. In normal two winding transformers, primary and secondary winding are electrically isolated but in the case of an autotransformer,…
What is Soft Starter? Soft Starters are starting devices, used for the acceleration, deceleration, and protection of the three phase electrical induction motors through the controlling applied voltage to 3 phase motor.Induction motor is the most frequently used motor for industrial…
A star delta starter is a type of motor starter that is used to control the starting and stopping of three-phase induction motors. It is commonly used in industrial applications where motors of large power ratings are used. In this…
What is a Lightning Strike and the Phenomenon of lightning Lightning has been a source of curiosity for humans for thousands of years. lightning is a discharge of electrical charge between cloud and ground, the height of the cloud above ground…
