PRIMARY AND BACKUP PROTECTION

In the event of failure or non-availability of the primary protection some other means of ensuring that the fault is isolated must be provided. These secondary systems are referred to as ‘back-up protection’. Back-up protection may be considered as either being ‘local’ or ‘remote’. Local back-up protection is achieved by protection which detects an un-cleared […]

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

TYPES OF SINGLE PHASE MOTORS

Single phase motors are manufactured in fractional kilowatt range to be operated on single phase supply and for use in numerous applications like ceiling fans, refrigerators, food mixers, hair driers, portable drills, vacuum cleaners, washing machines, sewing machines, electric shavers, office machinery etc. Single phase motors are manufactured in different types to meet the requirements

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
