THREE PHASE TRANSFORMER WINDING CONNECTIONS

A three-phase transformer bank can be easily created by using three single-phase transformers. The two sides of these three transformers can be either connected in a wye or a delta configuration, thus allowing four possible types of connections. These are: • WYE WYE: With the wye-wye (Y-Y) connection, the secondary side is in phase with the […]

REVERSING DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF UNIVERSAL MOTOR

The direction of rotation of a universal motor can be changed by either: (i) Reversing the field connection with respect to those of armature; or (ii) By using two field windings wound on the core in opposite directions so that the one connected in series with armature gives clockwise rotation, while the other in series with the

STARTER FOR TWO VALUE CAPACITOR TYPE SPLIT PHASE MOTORS

This type of split phase motors have two capacitors of different values in the auxiliary winding. The motors develop a high starting torque with one capacitor of a higher value and gives a quite running performance with the other capacitor of comparatively lower value. The circuit for forward / reverse operation of a two value

STARTER FOR A TWO VALUE CAPACITOR MOTOR USING A CURRENT RELAY AND AN AUTO TRANSFORMER

This type of starter uses a current relay in series with the main winding and an auto-transformer in the auxiliary winding to increase the effective value of the capacitors in the auxiliary winding circuit. The circuit has been shown in Figure. In this circuit, when contactor M is energized, a high inrush current flows through
