Gases and Gas Mixtures for Insulation Purposes: Over the years, considerable amount of work has been done to adopt a specific gas for practical use. Before adopting a particular gas…
Corona Discharges: If the electric field is uniform, a gradual increase in voltage across a gap produces a breakdown of the gap in the form of a spark without any…
Voltage Surge or Transient Voltage: A sudden rise in voltage for a very short duration on the power system is known as a Voltage Surge or Transient Voltage. Transients or…
Booster Transformer: Sometimes it is desired to control the voltage of a transmission line at a point far away from the main transformer. This can be conveniently achieved by the…
Booster Generator: A Booster Generator is a D.C. generator whose function is to inject or add certain voltage into a circuit so as to compensate the IR drop in the…
Different Types of DC Distributors: Different Types of DC Distributors - In the beginning of the electrical age, electricity was generated as a direct current and voltages were low. The…
Requirements of a Distribution System: A considerable amount of effort is necessary to maintain an electric power supply within the requirements of various types of consumers. Some of the good…
AC Distribution System: Now-a-days electrical energy is generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. One important reason for the widespread use of alternating current in preference to…
