Insulating Materials Types: There is no piece of electrical equipment that does not depend on electrical insulation in one form or an other to maintain the flow of electric current in desired paths or circuits. If due to some reasons the … (Read More)

Applications of Power Transformers: Transformers are the first to encounter lightning and other high voltage surges. The transformer insulation has to withstand very high impulse voltages many times the power frequency operating voltages. The Applications of Power Transformers insulation is broadly … (Read More)

Applications of Rotating Machines: Applications of Rotating Machines are normally divided into two categories: those with voltage ratings less than 6,600 V are called low voltage machines, and the others are high voltage machines. Because of the difficulty of insulating high … (Read More)

Applications in Circuit Breaker: A circuit breaker is a switch which automatically interrupts the circuit when a critical current or voltage rating is exceeded. A.c. currents are considerably easier to interrupt than d.c. currents. A.c. current … (Read More)

Applications of Cables in Engineering Works: In the recent years natural rubber has been completely replaced by synthetic rubbers and plastics as cable insulation. The physical properties required for wire and cable insulation depend on the type of Applications of Cables … (Read More)

Use of Power Capacitor: In most of the industrial applications, the power requirements are reactive in nature and a lagging current is drawn from the power lines. This requires additional generating capacity. This can be compensated by using capacitors which take … (Read More)

Applications in High Voltage Bushings: At rated voltages higher than 52 kV, the condenser or capacitance graded bushing principle is generally used. The insulating material for such a Applications in High Voltage Bushings is paper which is treated. There are three … (Read More)
