Understanding & mitigating the proximity effect is significant in the electrical system design & operation which uses high-frequency AC. The strength of this effect can be influenced by the conductor's structure, diameter & material. The impact of this effect can be reduced by right conductor spacing and geometric arrangement and also decrease power loss, its detrimental effects on resistance & performance of inductor. It is achievable to … [Read more...]
Eddy Current : Working, Advantages, Loss, Braking System & Its Applications
We know that electromotive force & current will generate when the magnetic flux is flowing throughout a coil changes. Similarly, once the magnetic flux is passed throughout a solid coil, then it will induce current & emf. So the induced current through the conducting body is called the eddy current. This current is named an eddy current because of the flow of the current look like eddies/whirlpools. This article discusses an overview of an eddy … [Read more...]
What is ACSR Conductor : Design,Types & Properties
Aluminum Conductor Steel Reinforced (ACSR) conductors are popular among different conductor configurations for transmission of voltage. These conductors are known for their strength and durability. As compared to other configurations like All Aluminum Conductors (AAC), ACSR conductors are known to have more strength and conductivity. Also, ACSR reduces undesired phenomenon such as skin effects, proximity effect, etc. Used almost extensively in all … [Read more...]
What are Electrical Conductors : Types and Their Properties
In the period of the 18th and 19th centuries, the concept of electrical conduction took place. And in the scope of electrical and physical engineering, conductors are most necessary to generate the current flow. The concepts of conductors, insulators and electric field came up with the thoughts and experiments done by many scientists and the person who stood behind the invention of these was Stephen Gray in the year 1734. From then the theories such as … [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...]
