What is the Required Capacitor KVAR for 50 HP Motor?
The motor draws inductive current when a 50 HP induction motor is run by feeding a three-phase AC supply. At the no-load running of the
Accuracy Limit Factor of Current Transformer
Definition- The accuracy limit factor (ALF) of a current transformer (CT) is a parameter that indicates the highest multiple of the rated current at which
Difference between Active and Passive Components
In this post, we will discuss the difference between Active and Passive components. We can differentiate active & passive components on the basis of the
Difference between Capacitor and Battery
The difference between capacitor and battery lies in how they store and deliver energy. A capacitor stores energy in the form of an electric field,
Why can a 50Hz CT work on 60Hz systems, and why can’t a 60Hz C.T. work on a 50 Hz system?
CT or PT functions on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The electrical energy is first converted into magnetic energy and again the magnetic energy is
What is Battery Acid? Its composition and Roles
Battery acid is a dilute solution of sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) used in lead-acid batteries. Comprising 29%-32% sulfuric acid, it facilitates the flow of electrical current
Why is the Terminal Voltage Less than EMF During Discharging of Battery?
The terminal voltage of a battery is less than its EMF because of the internal resistance inside the battery that causes a voltage drop when
What is the Insulation Class of Transformer oil?
We first discuss what it means by insulation class and what is its importance. The insulating material is classified according to the maximum temperature which
Dry Type Transformers: Types and Applications
What is a Dry Type Transformer? A dry-type transformer does not use any liquid for its cooling and insulation. An oil-filled transformer uses mineral insulating
