    Normally, any motors rotates in anticlockwise direction as seen from non driving end. So in ceiling fan blades are attached to non driving end. So it seems to rotate in anticlockwise. While in table f...

  • Limit Short Circuit Current to Twice the Full Load Current

    Full load SLip of a 400vstar connected 50 hz 3ph IM is 3.5 and with locked rotor full load current is circulated if 92v is applied between lines find the necessary tapping on the autotransformer so as to limit short circuit current to twice the full load current.

    Harmonics are produced in machines due to non uniform distribution of flux produced by field winding in the air gap. This leads to trapezoidal wave form instead of sinusoidal wave contains multiple of  fundamental frequncy called harmonics after analysed by fourier series.
