Why Earthing/grounding testing is Necessary? Testing the quality of the Earthing system has been a critical part of any electrical system maintenance program. Ground electrodes provide a safe path to Earth for the dissipation of fault currents, lightning strikes, static…
The permanent magnet moving coil instruments (PMMC instruments) are suitable for DC quantity measurements only. PMMC instruments working principle based on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that when the current carrying coil is placed in the magnetic field it experiences…
Corona effect (also known as Corona Discharge) is nothing but the ionization of air around the power conductor. The air around the power conductor has free electrons due to radioactivity and cosmic rays. As the potential between conductors increases potential gradient…
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 conservator tank is the main part of the transformer, It provides space for the expansion of oil and acts as a reservoir for transformer oil. In this article, we will explore the construction, function, and working principle of the…
There are different types of lightning arresters like Rod Gap Arrester, Horn Gap Arrester, Valve type, and expulsion type and they differ from each other only in construction details. but they operate on the same principle which is to provide…
The armature will draw a very high current due to the small resistance of the armature winding to avoid this heavy starting current 4 Point starter is used. Here we are going to discuss the 4-point starter it’s working principle and…
The procedure of connecting an alternator to the infinite power grid or with a common bus to which the number of other generators are already connected in parallel is known as synchronizing of the alternator. Here we are going to…
A Slip Ring Induction Motor is a type of asynchronous induction motor. Slip ring induction motors rotor is wound identically to the stator and is connected through rotating electrical contacts known as slip rings. These slip rings let the induction…
Classification of power system Buses In the power system, every bus is associated with four different quantities, real power, reactive power, bus voltage, and phase angle. In load flow, two parameters out of the four are specified and the remaining two…
