Well, you might be well-versed with the word “Vibration”. Mostly we all know what vibration in mobile phones is where it vibrates our mobile when there is a notification or when we receive any call. This is the only scenario that gets into our thought about vibration, but there are many cases where vibration pays attention such as in the compressor rotation in refrigerators, to run the washing machine vibrator. Extending this concept, we need to be clear … [Read more...]
What is Piezoelectric Generator : Circuit Diagram and Its Working
One might surely come across the situation of power supply either they are in the inadequacy of power or difficulty with power generation. Based on the principle of energy conversions, these piezoelectric generators deliver many advantages in multiple applications and industries. As piezoelectricity moves with the concept of conversion of energy from one form to another, generators also work on the same. But, what does a combination of piezoelectricity and … [Read more...]
What is Electrical Conductivity : Working Principle, Formula & Applications
The history of electrical conductance invention takes back to the eighteen and nineteen centuries where Mr. Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790) observed that electrons could travel along the path of the metallic rod; which also resulted in the invention of a lightning rod. Mr. Alessandro Volta (1745-1827) studies on static electricity have led to the discovery of electric potential and the principle behind the development of batteries. Mr. Georg Simon Ohm … [Read more...]
Types of Transformers and Their Working
The development of the electrical and electronics industry seems to be continually progressing with the invention of various electronic devices. The one device that has to be probably discussed is a Transformer. There is a wide range of applications through a transformer and just not with a single type of transformer, scientists have invented various kinds and each one has its own applications and advantages, either in commercial or real-life scenarios. … [Read more...]
What is a Transformer : Construction, Working & Its Applications
Well, the most interesting concept to be known in the domain of electrical is the transformation of electrical energy from one form to another. But, Why to transform. We all know that we use AC currents in many of the applications such as in workplaces, small industries and houses as AC voltages can be simply generated and transformed into increased voltages. Even AC voltages can be easily distributed across the nation through cables for extended … [Read more...]
What is Torque Converter : Components and Its Advantages
Several years ago, Twin Disc Clutch Company stepped in with the idea of hydraulic torque converters and its capabilities to change the operational methodologies of logging and dirt-moving machinery and other industrial drives. In 1938, the company got succeeded with its first torque converter and its application as a drilling rig. In the later stages, it has changed the lives of much high-machinery equipment. The torque converter plays a significant role … [Read more...]
What is Synchronous Generator : Construction, Working & Its Applications
In the previous article, we have discussed the DC generator which works on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction. Similarly, the asynchronous motor also works on the same principle but the only difference is, this generator gives a 3-phase AC output voltage from stator windings whereas the DC generator gives the output like a DC or a single DC. The first synchronous generator was used in the year 1870 when the arc lamp was invented by P.N. Jablochkov … [Read more...]
Pulse Transformer Working and Its Applications
A pulse transformer is also known as trigger transformer, gate drive transformer, gate transformer, signal transformer (or) wideband transformer in some applications, a. The main function of this transformer is to transmit voltage pulses between windings and the load. These transformers are used for galvanic isolation (signal transmission), low-power control circuits, & the major components used in high-power SMPS. By using this transformer, amplitude … [Read more...]
Repulsion Motor Working and Its Applications
In the previous articles, we have discussed different kinds of motors. This article discusses an overview of repulsion motor and how its principle helps in rotating a motor. This motor is a special type of 1-phase AC motor and working of this can be done by the repulsion of related poles. The stator in the motor supplies 1-phase AC supply & the rotor circuit will be shorted using carbon brush. The classification of these motors can be done under … [Read more...]
What is a Stator : Construction and Its Working
At present, the development in motor performance has been increased, particularly with the enhancement of materials employed in motors. Additionally, improvement in performance is provided with the help of optimization techniques for the stator & rotor. The stator is an essential part of electrical machines that can be found in electric motors, generators, biological rotors, mud motors, and sirens. The flow of energy through a stator will be from the … [Read more...]
