Electricity does not exist naturally in any useful form. It has to be generated from any other sources of energy such as solar, wind, hydro, thermal, atom, etc. Photovoltaic cells help us trap energy from the sunlight and generators are used to convert mechanical power available in other forms to electricity. The mechanical power can … Read more
Induction motors are one of the major power-consuming loads on the planet today and are widely used for all industrial and domestic applications. Plugging is one of the braking techniques performed in induction motors. Dynamic braking and regenerative braking are the other two braking methods. What is meant by plugging an induction motor? Plugging is … Read more
