When the potential difference between two conductors of a transmission line is raised beyond a certain limit, a point is reached when a violet glow appears around the conductor surface with a hissing noise and ozone gas smell this phenomenon…
Electrical safety is the main aim of any residential or commercial electrical installation. To prevent electrical shocks and identify insulation failures of electrical appliances, the ELCB full-form Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker is used. Generally available at different ratings 16A,32A, 40A,…
VFD is a short form of a variable frequency drive also called Frequency converters, which has undergone extremely rapid changes, largely as a result of the development of microprocessor and semiconductor devices and their reduction in prices. However, the basic…
A three-phase AC induction motor is a constant-speed motor as a DC shunt motor. But the speed of the DC shunt motor can be changed smoothly simply using rheostats. This maintains the speed regulation and efficiency of the DC shunt…
Differential protection is used to protect the transformer and generator against internal fault but for larger generators, additional protection is provided called Restricted earth fault protection. also known as REF protection. When the neutral of the transformer or generator is…
Reading Induction Motor Nameplate sometimes very difficult and challenging because the nameplates Often get dirty, painted, and rusted as they get old. So reading motor information becomes frustrating. You will need motor information for installation of VFD, starter design, power…
The transformer is the main device of the power system and its reliability is more important. Hence protection must be provided to the transformer. Buchholz relay is used to provide protection to the transformer against fault that occurs inside the…
Transformers are said to be connected in parallel operation when their primary connected to a common supply and secondary connected to a common load. The function of the transformer is to deliver power to the locality, city. But in some cases, a…
How to test relay? Methods for testing electric relay A relay is defined as an electrically controlled device that opens and closes electrical contacts with the help of electromagnetic switching and performs ON and OFF operations of other devices in…
Induction motor is mostly used motor in the industry as well as in domestic application because it’s a simple design, reliable operation, rugged construction, and simple control gear for starting, speed control, and three phase induction motor braking like plugging, dynamic…
