What Is Voltage Unbalance?
Definition of Voltage Unbalance as per NEMA: The voltage unbalance is defined as the maximum deviation from the average of three-phase voltage or current, divided
Neutral Conductor Size Selection For Non Linear Loads
Neutral sizing for nonlinear loads: Single-phase non-linear loads like personal computers, electronic ballast, and other electronic equipment generate odd harmonics (i.e., 3rd,5th, 7th, 9th, etc.
Copper Loss In Transformer
The copper loss in the transformer is equal to the I2R loss. The copper loss is very important for the calculation of the transformer efficiency.
Effects Of Harmonics in Induction Motor
Harmonics in induction motors adversely affects motor performance, leading to temperature rise and increased losses, decreased torque, and noise problems. Due to simplicity in construction
Adverse Effects Of Harmonics On Electrical Equipment
In this article, we will discuss the adverse effects of harmonics on electrical equipment. The harmonics deteriorate the operational life of the electrical equipment. The
True Power Factor
What is True Power Factor? The true power factor is the product of the displacement power factor and the distortion power factor. The displacement power
No Load Losses in Transformer
What are No-Load Losses in Transformers? No load losses occur when the transformer is energized at the rated voltage and frequency, keeping its secondary open
Impact Of Harmonics On Power Quality
In the earlier years, harmonics were not prevalent in most industries as most of the loads were linear loads, such as three-phase induction motors, incandescent
Starting Torque Of DC Motor
The Starting torque is the maximum torque that a motor can deliver to the mechanical load for its rotation. DC motor is capable of delivering
What is True RMS Measurement? RMS Vs True RMS
What is True RMS? True RMS measurement is more reliable and accurate than RMS measurement. We express the AC voltage and current in its effective
