Bundled Conductors in Transmission Lines
The combination of more than one conductor per phase in parallel suitably spaced from each other used in an overhead transmission line is defined as a bundled conductor. The individual …

Comparison between Induction Motor and Transformer
An induction motor may be considered to be a transformer with a rotating short-circuited secondary. The stator winding corresponds to the transformer primary and the rotor winding to the transformer …

Load Forecasting – Purpose, Classification and Procedure
What is Load Forecasting? Electrical energy cannot currently be stored in large amounts. It has to be generated whenever there is a demand for it. It is, therefore, imperative for …

Working Principle of Alternator
The machine which produces 3 phase power from mechanical power is called an alternator or synchronous generator. The working of an alternator is based on the principle that when the flux …
4 Advantages of Stationary Armature in Alternator
An alternator operates on the same fundamental principle of electromagnetic induction as a DC generator i.e., when the flux linking a conductor changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the conductor. Like …

Objective Questions on Alternators | Part 2
16. A winding is having a number of slots is equal to the number of poles, then this winding is called (A) concentrated winding. (B) short pitch winding. (C) full pitch …
Armature Reaction in Alternator
Armature reaction in alternator is the effect of armature flux on the field flux (i. e., rotor ampere-turns). Read this article to learn more. We have already discussed the effect …
Parallel Operation of DC Series Generator
The interesting thing about the parallel operation of the DC series generator is that DC series generators are not usually employed for the supply of power. Instead, DC series motors …
