Solid Dielectrics Used in Practice: The majority of the insulating systems used in practice are solids. They can be broadly classified into three groups: organic materials, inorganic materials and synthetic…
Switchgear Equipments: Switchgear covers a wide range of equipment concerned with switching and interrupting currents under both normal and abnormal conditions. It includes switches; fuses, circuit breakers, relays and other…
Continuous Duty Motor: There are two types of Continuous Duty Motor — continuous duty at constant load and continuous duty with variable load cycle. In the former the load torque remains…
Classification of Electric Drive: Classification of Electric Drive are normally classified into three groups, based on their development, namely group, individual and multi motor electric drives. If several groups of…
Surge Voltage and its Distribution and Control: The design of power apparatus particularly at high voltages is governed by their transient behavior. The transient high voltages or surge voltages originate…
Starting Method of Induction Motor: Transient processes involved with the Starting Method of Induction Motor in a variable speed drive require a detailed study. The electric motor and connected load…
DC Motor Electric Brakes: DC Motor Electric Brakes - While operating electrical drives it is often necessary to stop the motor quickly and also reverse it. In applications like cranes…
Characteristics of Synchronous Motor: Characteristics of Synchronous Motor are constant speed motors. The speed of the motor is decided by the number of poles and frequency. Compared to an induction…
