Pumps have a long period of history and they were into existence from 2000 B.C. To fetch water, the initial tool that was invented was called shadoof. Even it does not function in the mechanical approach, it was widely accepted by many and best serves the pumping activity. The construction of all these stood as the basis for the development of diaphragm pumps and they were into the market from 1854 onwards. The basic invention of the diaphragm pump was … [Read more...]
What is a Motor Winding : Design and Its Connections
These days human life is completely revolving around machines and technology. Advancement of technology has shown invention for multiple kinds of machines. And an electrical machine is the one which is crucial to transform one form of energy into another form. So, a machine will generate the output when there is a connection between the electric current and the magnetic field and this connection happened through coil windings. Motor windings hold utmost … [Read more...]
What is a Vibrator Motor : Circuit, Types and Its Specifications
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 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 a Cooling Tower – Types, Working, Uses
Generally, in a steam power plant, boilers are used for the production of steam by heat water. The heated water is converted to steam which in turn converted to Electrical Energy by rotating a turbine. The steam generated after this operation instead of exhausting to the atmosphere can be reutilized. For utilization, we depend upon the process of condensation. The steam generated is sent to a cooling tower to convert the steam into cold water. The data of … [Read more...]
Fire Tube Boiler – Types, Operation & Uses
Steam boilers were used earlier for the production of steam in trains. Later on, with the development in the construction of these boilers, these boilers are classified into different types based on the generation of steam. The steam generated should be of high pressure in order to increase efficiency. So, to generate more steam, steam boilers are classified as water tube and fire tube boilers. The water tube boiler generates more steam of high pressure … [Read more...]
What is a Water Tube Boiler – Explain its Construction & Working
A Boiler is a device that produces steam by boiling water. This boiling of water is classified into different to the machine. The steam from the boiler in turn rotates a turbine such that it drives a generator. This generator changes this rotational ME to EE. The amount of energy that is developed in this process to supplied to the bus bars. From Bus bars the energy is transmitted to several other areas through the transmission lines. In this article, we … [Read more...]
What is Power Factor – Importance, Methods Used to Improve It.
The generated power in a power system should be utilized without wasting. The amount of power that is generated at the station is not received at the end point because of wastage of power. This wastage of power is mainly because of the reactive power absorption. This affects the power factor (pf) of the system. To increase the reliability and life expectancy of the system this pf plays a crucial role. To utilize the maximum amount of power that is … [Read more...]
What is Load Factor : Formula and Its Methods
At present, everything is dependent on electricity from mobile phones to every electronic device used in daily. Because day by day the demand for electricity is increasing and there are efficient and better ways are available for generating electricity through Power Plants. The electricity usage can be observed annually in a 24-hour format & the demand for peak load can be noted to examine. Because of doubtful demands by the consumer regarding power, … [Read more...]
What is Electrical Earthing – Types, and Applications
Earth is used as an electrical conductor for electricity by man over 270 years back. The other name for Electrical Earthing is Grounding. Electrical earthing is done to protect ourselves from shock during fault conditions. The common electrode used for Earthing is copper, which is used for grounding. The basic requirement of every household or industry is to maintain proper Earthing. The main purpose of the grounding or earthing systems is to provide a … [Read more...]
