In large oil immersed transformers, we can find a cylindrical object installed in the pipe connecting the conservator to the main tank. This cylindrical object, that looks like a solenoid…
Before getting into the topic, we have to keep two points in mind.1. Conventional Current flow. (The way Current is said to flow historically)Use this following online tool to convert kilovolt ampere to kilowatts. Enter the kVA Enter the Power Factor Convert Also Try: Convert kW to kVA Kilowatt is the unit of…
Programmable logic controllers are electronic devices used to control a process. It consists of CPU; Input and output devices, power supply, communication and redundancy units. PLCs are preprogrammed based on their application and put into operation. A PLC accepts inputs from the field, process the input based on the programming done and outputs the commands to the field equipment. It can also accept commands from the plant operators through SCADA and give commands to the field equipment. The features of PLCs vary from one manufacturer to the other but the basic architecture remains the same. (more…)
Stalling is a condition at which a motor stops rotating even when there is sufficient voltage at it’s terminals. This condition occurs when the torque required by the load is more than the maximum torque (Breakdown torque) that can be generated by the motor. At this condition, the motor drains the maximum current and the speed comes zero.
Horsepower and kilowatt are two different units of measuring power. Watts is the SI unit of power. It is a well-defined and normally used unit.This is a simple tool to…
