Single Phase Induction Motor A single-phase induction motor in its physical appearance is similar to a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor. The 1-Φ phase induction motor has a distributed single-phase winding while in the case of the 3-Φ induction motor the stator has distributed three-phase windings. On comparing the performance characteristics of the single-phase induction … Read more
WHAT IS SEMICONDUCTOR? A semiconductor is defined as a substance whose electrical conductivity is intermediate between metallic conductors and non-metallic insulators. In other words, we can also define semiconductor as the substance which has resistivity (10-4 to 0.5 Ωm) in between metallic conductors and non-metallic insulators. Examples of semiconductors are germanium, silicon, selenium, etc. Properties … Read more
MAXIMUM POWER TRANSFER THEOREM The Maximum Power Transfer theorem is one of the useful methods in circuit analysis to find the value of load resistance when there would be the maximum transfer of power from the source to load. Statement of Maximum Power Transfer Theorem According to this theorem, a resistive load that is being … Read more
