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 […]

Lightning Arresters Types | Electrical Darwaza
The lightning arrester protects the electrical equipment from lightning. It is placed very near to the equipment and when the lightning occurs the arrester diverts the high voltage wave of lightning to the ground. The selection of arrester depends on the various factors like voltage, current, reliability, etc. The lightning arrestor is mainly classified into […]
Types of Insulators | Electrical Engineering Facts
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 […]
Difference Between Pump and Motor | Electrical Engineering
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 […]
Difference between DC Motor and AC Motor | Electrical Engineering
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 […]
Different Types Of Transformer | Electrical Darwaza
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 […]
Difference between a Contactor and a Relay | Electrical Darwaza
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 […]

In general way of common people’s understanding: These both words are used interchangeably by persons belonging to a different field than power electronics. They essentially mean to convey the functionality of the device (DC to variable freq AC) and as long as this is done, power electronics people (like me) do not bother to correct […]
What is Sensor?Different Types of Sensors Application | Electrical Engineering FACTS
Different Types of Sensors We live in a World of Sensors. You can find different types of Sensors in our homes, offices, cars etc. working to make our lives easier by turning on the lights by detecting our presence, adjusting the room temperature, detect smoke or fire, make us delicious coffee, open garage doors as […]
Difference Between Neutral and Earth | Electrical Engineering Facts
Neutral Vs Earth Neutral : Neutral is the normal ” return ” wire. In systems where the load is supplied from only one Hot (or “Live”) wire, the Neutral completes the circuit and carries current back from the load to the power station. Neutral is a conductor that carries current in normal operation. Neutral represents […]
