Thyristor Control of 3 Phase Synchronous Motor: The synchronous motor is a constant speed motor and it develÂops torque only at synchronous speed which is directly proportional to supply frequency. Therefore, variation of frequency of…
Speed Control of Single Phase Induction Motor using Triac (Fan Regulator): The conventional speed regulator for a fan uses a resistance regulator. The regulator resistance is in series with the fan motor. The speed of…
Protective Devices and Interlocks: Protective devices must be incorporated in the control circuit (or circuits) to interrupt the flow of current to the motor to guard against overloads or other conditions dangerous to the motor…
Electromagnetic Relay - Definition, Construction and Working Principle: Electromagnetic Relay - A relay, in the general sense of the word, is any apparatus which serves to actuate or control the regime of a high power…
Magnetic Contactor - Definition, Working Principle and Types: Magnetic Contactor is a electromagnetically operated switches that provide a safe and convenient means for repeatedly making and breaking branch circuits. The principal difference between a contactor…
Various Pilot Devices in Motor Control: Motor control devices may be classified as primary control devices and pilot control devices. Pilot devices control the primary control devices which in turn controls (connects or disconnects) the…
Magnetic Amplifier - Working Principle and Applications: In a magnetic amplifier, the basic component is a steel-cored coil with an additional winding energized by direct current. It is intended for controlling alternating current of relatively…
Amplidyne (Rotary Amplifier) - Definition, Construction, Connection Diagram, Workings and Applications: The amplidyne is a rotary amplifier in which a small amount of power supplied to excite the field is amplified in the generator output.…
Ignitron Working Principle: Ignitron is a gaseous tube and consists of carbon anode, boron carbide ignitor tube and mercury pool cathode. It is a cold cathode tube and does not have any heating element or…
Dielectric Heating - Working, Advantages and Applications: When non-metallic parts such as wood, plastics, bones are subjected to an alternating electrostatic field dielectric loss occurs. In dielectric heating use of these losses is made. The…
