What is the difference between regulator and stabiliser.

Asked By: Venkata Narasimhan | Asked On: Nov 14th, 2007

Answered by: eeemalik on: Jul 19th, 2008

Regulator : Is a control the current using resistance, u can adjust the power output (min to max).

Stabiliser : Stabiliser is a stable the constant power output depends on rating of a stabiliser

Answered by: haveasafeday on: Feb 5th, 2008

Cotinuing with earlier answer I want to add something that regulator is nothing but a part of stabiliser.

Tranmission and distribution

Asked By: nivej1 | Asked On: Mar 6th, 2008

Why are we employing star type transformer at transmission end and delta type transformer at receiving end?

Answered by: luckwithme on: Jul 10th, 2008

Delta star transformer used in distribution purpose because of earthfault on star side do no reflect on delta side of winding. Zero phase current is eleminated in delta side of transformer and another...

Answered by: chinnakalupukuri on: Apr 11th, 2008

by having the y-type on receiving end, we can get 3-phase,3-wire supply or 3-phase,4-wire supply.we can also get 1-phase supply.b'coz in y-type we have neutral point.whereas in delta type transfor...

Describe how energy is stored in a inductor on electronic level

Asked By: rajeshofficial | Asked On: Apr 10th, 2007

Answered by: smitha.p on: Jun 20th, 2008

energy stored in an indoctor = (1/2)L* I2

Answered by: George on: May 14th, 2007

Energy is stored in an inductor in the form of a magnetic field.

Why the generators are made such that they generate only sinusoidal wave?

Asked By: srishiva | Asked On: Sep 4th, 2007

Answered by: rahulr30 on: Jun 8th, 2008

Sine wave is best suited for commercial generation purposes because it will have a single unique frequency. I f we genrate a square wave ( by using concentrated windin in alternator) the problem of harmonics would arise.

Answered by: cvk on: Oct 5th, 2007

It is by the natural construction that a sine wave form is generated.

What is magnetic levitation ?How maglev (trains based on magnetic levitation) works ?

Answered by: arunkpkrn on: Apr 15th, 2008

Magnetic levitation, maglev, or magnetic suspension is a method by which an object is suspended with no support other than magnetic fields. But train operating on Magnetic levitation is unknown to me.

Potentiometer and rheostat

Asked By: thicman101112 | Asked On: Mar 26th, 2008

What is difference between potentiometer and rheostat?

Answered by: bittu123 on: Nov 9th, 2011

Rheostate is variable resistance has only two leads. potentiometer differs in working principal as it has three leads and works on potential divider method

Answered by: s.v.vijayaraj on: Mar 31st, 2008

The difference between potentiometer and rheostat is that the potentiometer can be used for high range of voltage and current but the rheostat cannot be used for high range of voltage or current. Size of the potentiometer is large, rheostat is less.

Capacitive load

Asked By: thicman101112 | Asked On: Jan 24th, 2008

Why we cannot use the capacitive load?

Answered by: haveasafeday on: Feb 5th, 2008

capacitive load means a load with leading power factor which is very rare in electrical equipment.though syncronous motor is used as a capacitive load.

Why less loss occurs when we use DC supply than AC supply?

Asked By: Venkata Narasimhan | Asked On: Nov 14th, 2007

Answered by: haveasafeday on: Feb 5th, 2008

Frequency of DC system is Zero. how can f is there?

Answered by: er.vikasharma on: Jan 5th, 2008

in DC, frequency is constent not zero,we say Skin effect & no corone loss occur is the main reason of less losses in DC then AC supply.
