On which part of the power system the occurrence of failure / abnormal condition is more? The probability of occurrence of failure / abnormal condition is more in the on…
A short circuit is a situation in which two or more different lines (having different voltage levels/ different phase/ different terminals) come in contact and finally leads to the flow…
Buchholz relays are generally used to sense abnormal conditions occurring inside a transformer. It is a type of oil and gas actuated protection relay. It can be seen in all…
Conventional energy is obtained from the conventional energy resources such as coal, diesel, gas and nucleus. These are non-renewable resources and may exhaust in few decades if consumed at the current rate. The burning of fossil fuels produces harmful gases such as nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur-di-oxide etc and pollutes the environment. The comparison of various factors of power production from the conventional resources is listed below. (more…)
LCDs are not new to us since we always use devices made up of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) like computers, digital watches and also DVD and CD players. The invention of LCD was has changed the world of electronics from bigger CRTs to portable tablets.
Metal halide (MH) lamp provides high efficiency, long service life and excellent colour rendition. It consists of an arc tube enclosed in a glass chamber made up of borosilicate glass. Arc tube is also called as discharge tube or “burner”. The arc tube consists of argon gas, mercury and metal salts such as sodium iodide. They operate at higher temperatures and pressures.Ballast is used to supply a high starting voltage. The ballast also regulates the lamp starting current and lamp operating current. (more…)
Modern fridges are available in various sizes with different features incorporated by the manufacturers. Apart from these features the basic principle of refrigeration of course remains the same. The method of deployment hasn’t changed much since from the aforementioned Frigidaire unit in 1923.It is a property of a circuit element called inductor to store energy in the magnetic field when current passes through it. A basic inductor can be made by…
