A contactor is an electrical device that is used for switching on or switching off electrical circuits. Contactors are employed for controlling electric motors. In this article, you’ll learn the basic construction and working of contactors. To start up and shut down a three-phase AC induction motor, any three-pole switch with a suitable current rating … Read more
Programmable Logic Controller Questions with Brief Explanatory answers. What is programmable logic controller A programmable logic controller or PLC is a general-purpose controller that can be programmed or instructed by the end-user. A PLC may be instructed to do almost anything with the signals it receives from the input device. In the beginning, PLCs were … Read more
Variable frequency drives are the high-power circuits that are designed to produce varying frequencies by which they provide useful power over a wide range of speeds for an AC motor to run. This article briefly explains the working of VFDs and its practical applications and working. Synchronous speed, frequency, and poles of the induction motor … Read more
Switchgear Questions with Answers What is a fuse A fuse is a short piece of metal that is inserted in the circuit, which melts when excessive current flows through it thus breaking the circuit. What is a circuit breaker A circuit breaker is a protection element which can make or break a circuit either manually … Read more
Question: What is the bandwidth of the circuit OR What do you mean by bandwidth of circuit? Answer: Bandwidth or BW of the resonant circuit is defined as the difference between the frequencies at which the circuit delivers half of the maximum power. Consider the figure below: The graph is the power response of a … Read more
If we add a voltage divider to the negative feedback wiring so that only a fraction of the output voltage is fed back to the inverting input instead of the full amount, the output voltage will be a multiple of the input voltage (please bear in mind that the power supply connections to the op-amp have been omitted once … Read more
The overall efficiency of a steam power station is approximately 33 to 48%. There are two major reasons behind this low efficiency. Heat is lost in condenser when converted into mechanical energy Heat losses at various stages of the plant Thermal efficiency of Steam Power Plant It is defined as the ratio of corresponding heat … Read more
