Why Induction Motor is called Asynchronous Motor?
An induction motor is called an asynchronous motor because the actual speed of the motor is not equal to the synchronous speed of the motor. The synchronous
Machines
An electrical machine converts mechanical energy into electrical energy or vice versa. The transformer is also an electrical machine which transform the voltage without changing the frequency. We will discuss about the;
- DC Motor
- DC generator
- Induction Motor
- Transformer
- Electrical drives
- Alternator or synchronous generator
Why the Slip never Zero in an Induction Motor?
A rotating magnetic field is produced when the three-phase supply is fed to the stator. The magnetic field travels the air gap length and cuts
What is Synchronous speed? Relationship between speed and Frequency
Synchronous Speed When three phases which are 120 degree-electrical apart are fed to the stator winding of the induction motor, a rotating magnetic field is
Slip Speed in an Induction Motor
A rotating magnetic field is produced when three phase supply is fed to stator of an induction motor. The rotating magnetic field has constant magnitude
Single Phase Transformer and Application of Single Phase Transformer
The transformer transforms voltage from one level to another without changing the power and frequency. The transformer is static electrical equipment, and it does not
Ideal Transformer-Properties, Phasor Diagram, Working
What is an Ideal Transformer? An ideal transformer is free from all losses. It has zero copper and iron loss and zero leakage flux, and
Shell Type Transformer- Construction, Working & Applications
The HV and LV winding is wound around the central limb. The central limb carries the entire flux (Ф ). The flux (Ф ) divides into two equal part and thus each side limbs carries the half (Ф/2 ) of the total flux(Ф ). As a result, cross section area of the central limb is two times of the side limbs area.The arrangement of the winding around the central limb is as given below.
Transformer Ratings- Formulas and Solved Problems
The maximum current a transformer can deliver to loads at the rated voltage is known as a transformer rating. It is expressed in VA, kVA,
Voltage Regulation of Transformer-Definition, Formula
What is the Voltage Regulation of a Transformer? Voltage regulation of the transformer is defined as the percentage change in the transformer’s secondary voltage from
Open Delta Connection of Transformer
When two single-phase transformer is connected in an open delta connection, the arrangement can provide a three-phase supply to the load. The open delta connection
