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 conductor in a bundle is defined as a sub conductor. Bundled conductors in transmission lines are commonly used to increase electrical capacity and reduce corona and radio noise at voltages … [Read more...] about Bundled Conductors in Transmission Lines

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 secondary. However, the following differences between the two are worth noting: 1. Air Gap Unlike a transformer, the magnetic circuit of a 3-phase induction motor has an air … [Read more...] about Comparison between Induction Motor and 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 the electric power utilities that the load on their systems should be estimated in advance. The estimation of the active load at various load buses in advance is commonly known as load … [Read more...] about Load Forecasting – Purpose, Classification and Procedure
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 linking a conductor changes, an emf is induced in the conductor. Alternators are the primary source of all the electrical energy we consume. These machines are the largest energy converters … [Read more...] about Working Principle of Alternator
