COMPARISON OF SQUIRREL CAGE AND SLIP RING MOTOR

A wound-rotor motor (Slip Ring Motor) is a type of induction motor where the rotor windings are connected through slip rings to external resistances. Adjusting the resistance allows control of the speed/torque characteristic of the motor. Wound-rotor motors can be started with low inrush current, by inserting high resistance into the rotor circuit; as the […]

GENERATION OF AC HIGH VOLTAGE BY CASCADED TRANSFORMERS

For voltages higher than about 300 to 500 kV, the cascading of transformers is a big advantage, as the weight of a whole testing set can be subdivided into single units and therefore transport and erection becomes easier. Also, with this, the transformer cost for a given voltage may be reduced, since cascaded units need
