Three phase Transformer Bank of Single phase Transformers

Three-phase Bank of Single-phase Transformers

Three phase Transformer Bank of Single phase Transformers: The different Three phase Transformer Bank of Single phase Transformers are namely, Delta/delta connection: The supply voltage provides only sinusoidal magnetizing current so that core flux is flat-topped; but the third-harmonic emfs induced (cophasal) cause circulating currents in deltas restoring the flux to almost sinusoidal. The third-harmonic […]

Difference between Static Relays and Electromagnetic Relays

Difference between Static Relays and Electromagnetic Relays: The conventional electromagnetic relays are robust and quite reliable, but are required to operate under different forces under fault conditions. This leads to delicate setting small contact gaps, special bearing systems, special clutch assemblies and several measuring problems. These require instrument transformers (CTs and PTs) with high burden

Voltage Balance Differential Relay

Voltage Balance Differential Relay

Voltage Balance Differential Relay: In this voltage balance differential relay arrangement, two similar current transformers are connected at either end of the system element under protection (such as a feeder) by means of pilot wires. The relays are connected in series with the pilot wires, one at each end. The relative polarity of the CTs

Classification of Relays

Classification of Relays

Classification of Relays: The protective relay may be defined as an electrical device interposed between the main circuit and the circuit breaker in such a manner that any abnormality in the circuit acts on the relay, which in turn, if the abnormality is of a dangerous character, causes the breaker to open and so to

Basic Requirements of Protection System

Basic Requirements of Protection System: Protection system is an extremely important part of the power system as it is provided to operate under abnormal conditions to prevent failure or isolate trouble and limit its effect. Every protection system which isolates a faulty element is required to satisfy four basic requirements: (i) reliability; (ii) selectively; (iii)

Auto Transformer Starter – Working Principle, Advantages and Disadvantages

Circuit diagram of Auto Transformer Starter

Auto Transformer Starter – Working Principle, Advantages and Disadvantages: In auto transformer starter method the reduced voltage is obtained by taking tappings at suitable points from a three phase auto-transformer, as shown in Fig. 1.70(a). The auto-transformers are generally tapped at the 50, 60 and 80 per cent tapping points, so that adjustment at these
