Insulators in power systems are used for carrying transmission line conductors. They are responsible for providing mechanical support as well as electrical insulation to the conductors. Given below are the 5 types of insulators employed on power transmission lines. Pin Type Insulator Pin Type insulators have a metal pin bolted directly above the cross arm … Read more
A closed-loop control system, also known as a feedback control system, is a type of control system in which output is measured and compared to a desired or reference value. Based on this comparison, corrective actions are taken to adjust the system’s behavior and minimize any deviation from the desired output. The design of closed … Read more
The relay is an electrically operated switch. It comprises of a set of input terminals for a single or multiple control signals, and a set of operating contact terminals. The switch may have any number of contacts in multiple contact forms, such as make contacts, break contacts, or combinations thereof. electromechanical relay is an electrical … Read more
CTR stands for Current Transformer Ratio.
While referring to ANSI Standard CT Accuracy Classes, the Code C implies that the transformer ratio can be calculated. The code C classification covers most bushing CTs that have uniformly distributed windings and any other transformers whose core leakage flux has a negligible effect on the ratio, within the defined limits.
Electrical Engineering MCQ Highest pressure generating pump inside the thermal plant is: Correct answer: 1. Boiler feed pump Explanation: The primary function of a boiler feed pump is to supply water to the boiler at high pressure. It takes water from the feed water system and increases its pressure before delivering it to the boiler. … Read more
