Can the transformer be operated on current source instead of voltage source ??if ,, what will happen ?

somnath paul

• Feb 2nd, 2013

In case of an ideal current source , it will deliver same current irrespective of the load connected to the secondary terminals thus proper transformation will not take place in order to maintain constant flux.

I assume that by current source you mean constant current source. In such case the primary and secondary voltage of the transformer will depend on the impedance of the transformer and the load. The lo...

Salient pole rotor has larger diameter than cylindrical rotor. In thermal power plant rotor should rotate in high speed so that salient pole will unstable due to larger diameter so that we cant use salient pole in thermal power plant.

Why capacitors are used in 1 phase induction motors?

SONY RANJAN MAHAPATRA

• Jun 25th, 2013

Basically function of capacitor is to improve the power factor and make the single phase motor self start having made split phase between both the winding(starting & running winding)

In generally capacitors are playing main role in electrical system.And also power factor improvement done by capacitors so therefore capacitors mainly using for increase the starting torque of the motor.

Why isolation tranformer used in mcc panel?

Niaz

Isolation transformer at MCC are usually Y-Delta connected, so a fault on low voltage Y side would not travel towards high voltage delta circuit, so providing isolation to HV side

You should have stepped it up to a higher voltage level then finally stepped it down to this desired voltage level, because stepping up to the actual voltage you need may give u a lower voltage level due to losses in the transformer, and losses in the wires you used in connecting

Ground and earth is basically the same thing. Its all about providing the least path of resistance to the earth mass. Neutral is connecting the star point of three phase equipment out which serves as a return path for the flow of electricity.
