Motor Generator(M-G) Set
A motor generator set consists of an electric motor and an electric generator connected by a common coupling. The electric motor converts electrical energy into
Electric Motor Winding and Its Types
An electric motor winding is a coil made up of a conductor wire such as copper or aluminum and used to produce an electromagnetic field
Platinum Resistance Thermometer- Construction and Working
Definition: The platinum resistance thermometer (PTR) uses platinum material as a thermal sensor to measure temperature. The resistance of platinum varies directly with temperature changes.
Armature Winding-Turn, Coil & Winding
Armature winding is the winding in which voltage is induced as the conductors of the coil pass through a magnetic field of the field winding.
Ammeter is Used to Measure
An ammeter is used to measure both alternate current and direct current. It can measure small amounts of electrical current, such as microamperes or milliamperes
Booster Transformer- Definition & Explanation
A booster transformer is commonly used near the end of a power transmission line to increase the voltage to a desired level. It regulates the
Advantages & Disadvantages of Synchronous Motors
The advantages of synchronous motors include constant speed, power factor control, and high starting torque. In this article, we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages
Synchronous Machine
A synchronous Machine includes both a synchronous motor and a synchronous generator. As a synchronous machine, a synchronous generator generates AC voltage, and a synchronous
Parallel Operation of DC Generators
In this article, we will study how to perform parallel operation of DC generators. In practice, electrical power is supplied from multiple generators operated together
Starting Methods of Synchronous Motor
The starting methods of the synchronous motor are damper winding, external prime mover( DC or induction motor), VVVF method, and slip ring induction motor start
