Economic Choice of Transmission Voltages: It has been shown earlier here that if transmission voltage is increased, the volume of conÂductor material required is reduced. This decreases the expenditure on…
Comparison of AC Transmission and DC Transmission: The electric power can be transmitted either by means of d.c. or a.c. Each system has its own merits and demerits. It is,…
Periodic Intermittent Duty: The class of duty making use of the ability of electric motors to operate with overload is called Periodic Intermittent Duty. The load on the motor is…
Short Time Intermittent Duty: Another class of duty for normally occurring loads is Short Time Intermittent Duty in which the load requires a constant power for a short interval of…
Continuous Duty Motor: There are two types of Continuous Duty Motor — continuous duty at constant load and continuous duty with variable load cycle. In the former the load torque remains…
Electric Motor Cooling and Heating: The geometry of an Electric Motor Cooling is too complex to predict accurately the heat flow and temperature distribution. This is a difficult task. A…
Three Phase Drives: Single phase drives discussed in the previous section are employed for low and medium powers. When the power of the drive is very large the three-phase converter…
Commutation in DC Motor: Commutation and commutator wear and tear of the dc motor must be given due consideration when the motor operates on solid state converters. Spark-less commutation must…
