A power transformer is usually employed for the purpose of converting power, from one voltage to another. If it is used for converting power from a high voltage to a low voltage, it is called a step-down transformer. The conversion efficiency of a power transformer is extremely high and almost all of the input power […]
There are main three categories of insulator that is used as an overhead insulator: Pin Insulator Suspension Insulator Strain Insulator Pin Insulator Pin Insulator is one the youngest overhead insulator, that has a capacity up to 33 KV system. It has one part, two parts, and three parts type, which totally depends upon voltage that has been […]
The motor is an electromechanical device, which consists of rotating conductors and magnetic field to transform electrical energy into mechanical torque. Whereas pump is a hydro-mechanical device that converts mechanical torque into hydraulic/pressure energy. Motoring action ( electric one ) obtained based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and motor law. Whereas pumping action achieved […]
A DC motor works in the same principle as an AC motor, with a mechanism to allow it to rotate even if the supply is not alternating. After all, simple motors work because the direction of current reverses (alternates) every half cycle, rendering the armature to rotate. Now, why does the current have to alternate to […]
A transformer is a device working on mutual inductance principle to convert electrical energy from one voltage/ current level to another. There are different types of transformers used for different purposes. (1) POWER TRANSFORMER Laminated core Transformer Toroidal Transformer Auto transformer Variable auto transformer Induction regulator Transformer(high voltage transformer) Polyphase transformer Grounding transformer Phase-shifting transformer Variable-frequency […]
A contractor is an electromagnetic device which is used to make or break of an electrical circuit. there is two type of contractor. power contactor. auxiliary contactor. Power contactor is used in power circuit like switch on/off of a motor capacitor. while auxiliary contactor is used to switch on or off of a control circuit. a power contactor have 3 main contacts while an auxiliary contactor has many contacts like 1no+1nc 2no+2nc ect..power contactor is generally used where we required to make and break a large current carrying circuit. The Relay is similar to an auxiliary contactor which is used […]
Here is some Basic Electrical Terms Full Form that Every Engineering Should know this: 1. HT = High Tension (Transformer HT Side) 2. LT = Low Tension 3. AB Switch = Air Break Switch 4. DO Fuse = Drop Out Fuse 5. ACB = Air Circuit Breaker 6. VCB = Vacuum Circuit Breaker 7. SF6 […]
There are so many differences between these two by feature and application, however, few of them are as below: 1- MCB(Miniature Circuit Breaker) is for basic protection device to limit the current and fault in a circuit whereas ELCB(Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) is advanced one which responds only when the circuit leaks current to earth […]
The stator is an unmoving component of an electrical machine that’s going around the rotor. It’s derived from the word ‘’stationary’’ as the ‘’stator’’ implies. It contains the windings and provides mechanical support and protection for the motor. […]
People walking one behind the other in a long chain are walking in Series. People walking side by side across a broad front are walking in Parallel. The same terminology applies to whatever it is that you are connecting up. You don’t say what context you are in. Series Circuit Only ONE path for current […]
How inverters work. In this video, we take a look at how an inverter works to convert direct current (DC) into Alternating current (AC). Inverters are used increasingly throughout the industry as well as building services for HVAC systems to achieve precise control of AC induction motors connected to AHU fans, compressors pumps etc. Inverters […]
In this video we learn how electricity works starting from the basics of the free electron in the atom, through conductors, voltage, current, resistors, led, to capacitors and transformers Read More: How Does Transformer WORKS
Let us come from basics. We call flow of charge is called current. And in order to create the flow, we need a force. That we are achieving the positive charge and negative charge. As positive charge and negative charge attract each other we create a circuit and makes it flow. Consider the diagram: Here […]
