A direction overcurrent protection relay is a type of relay that is able to discriminate between current in one direction versus current in the other direction. It is used for power system protection where alongside magnitude, the direction of line current is also important. In this article you’ll learn working of directional overcurrent protection relay. … Read more
Induction Motor MCQs part 5 For induction motor the relation among synchronous speed (Ns), rotor speed (N) and slip (s) is given by For induction motor the relation among synchronous speed (Ns), rotor speed (N) and slip (s) is given by: N = (s – I) Ns N = ( I +s) N N = … Read more
One of the very simple method for controlling the speed and torque characteristics of a wound-field DC motor is by varying current through the field winding. In this article, you’ll learn the DC motor speed control using PWM from a variable-speed drive or VSD. The solution employs a electronic power control circuit very rapidly switch … Read more
In this article you’ll learn DC motor speed control by varying current through field winding. A very simple method for controlling the speed and torque characteristics of a wound-field (nonpermanent magnet) DC motor is to control the amount of current through the field winding. Decreasing the field control resistor’s resistance allows more current through the … Read more
When two dissimilar metal wires are joined together at one end, a voltage is produced at the other end that is approximately proportional to temperature. That is to say, the junction of two different metals behaves like a temperature-sensitive battery. This form of electrical temperature sensor is called a thermocouple: This phenomenon provides us with … Read more
A protective relay is an electrical device that detects the electrical fault and initiates the operation of the circuit breaker to isolate the defective components from the power system. In this article you’ll learn the difference between Instantaneous and Time Overcurrent Relay Protection. Perhaps the most basic and necessary protective relay function is overcurrent: commanding a circuit breaker to trip … Read more
