Distance Protection: Both time-graded and pilot-wire system are not suitable for the protection of very long high voltage transmission lines. The former gives an unduly long time delay in fault…
Protective Relay: A Protective Relay is a device that detects the fault and initiates the operation of the circuit breaker to isolate the defective element from the rest of the…
Circuit Breakers Definition: A circuit breaker can make or break a circuit either manually or automatically under all conditions viz., no-load, full-load and short-circuit conditions. This characteristic of the Circuit…
Sequence Networks Unsymmetrical Faults: The analysis of an unsymmetrical fault by symmetrical components method can be conveniently done by drawing sequence networks. A Sequence Networks Unsymmetrical Faults of a particular…
Voltage Control by Synchronous Condenser: The voltage at the receiving end of a transmission line can be controlled by installing specially designed synchronous motors called synchronous condensers at the receiving…
Booster Generator: A Booster Generator is a D.C. generator whose function is to inject or add certain voltage into a circuit so as to compensate the IR drop in the…
Different Types of DC Distributors: Different Types of DC Distributors - In the beginning of the electrical age, electricity was generated as a direct current and voltages were low. The…
Requirements of a Distribution System: A considerable amount of effort is necessary to maintain an electric power supply within the requirements of various types of consumers. Some of the good…
