  • Synchronous Motor Vs Induction Motors Speed

    Synchronous motor rotates with constant speed but induction motor is not like that, Why? What is the construction difference between Synchronous motor and Induction Motor?

    Voltage drop in 3 phase circuits is Vd=(1.732xI(RcosФ + XsinФ)L)/(1000xno.of runs)
    I is full load current,
    R resistance of the conductor,
    x resistance of the conductor,
    L length of conductor in meters.

    According to me this is how the voltage drop in a cable is calculated.If*SQRT(Rf Cos(phi) + Xf sin(phi)) / no. of runswhere....If is the full load currentRf and Xf is the resistance and reactance of the feeder. (Rf = R *L/1000; L= length of the feeder).

  • Transformer Capacity

    If the capacity of a Transformer is 20/26 then what does 20/26 shows? what is its purpose?

    If 20/26 is in kva 20kva indicates capacity of transformer under ONAN cooling.

    If the capacity is 26kva it is provided with ONAF cooling.

    If 20/26 is voltage 20 indicate primary side voltage, 26 indicates secondary voltage, it is stepup transformer.

  • Induction Motor

    Why transformer does not rotate like induction motor. Inspite both having same principle?

    Actually in 3 phase induction motor the windings are displaced with angle of 120 degree in space that is why a rotating magnetic field is produced while in transformer the windings are concentric rather than displaced

    Transformer winding is made of concentric winding but the stator winding of induction motor is made of distributed winding over inner periphery. Hence flux in transformer is pulsating in nature and st...
