Universal Motor Definition A Universal motor is a special type of motor especially designed to work on AC and DC supply. Construction and working of a universal series motor is the same as the construction of a DC series motor because the armature winding and the field winding of the Universal motor are connected in … Read more
Difference Between Star Connection and Delta Connection Star & Delta connections are two different configuration methods of the interconnection of the three-terminal of a three-phase system. Both the above said types of connection are discussed below one by one. Star Connection or Way Connection(Y) In the star connection method, the similar terminals of the winding … Read more
Three Phase Induction Motor In the case of 3- phase AC operation three phase induction motor is the most widely motor. As this type of induction motor does not require any starting device so for this reason three phase induction motors are called self-started induction motors. Three phase induction motor is one of the most … Read more
What is a Star to Delta starter? Star to Delta starter or star-delta starter is one of the most common methods used for starting of three-phase induction motor. When the stator winding of the motor is directly connected with the supply, it will draw a very high current, and to control this high current Star-Delta … Read more
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 an Autotransformer? An Autotransformer is a one winding transformer in which a part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary circuits. The general construction and operating principle of an Autotransformer are the same as that of the conventional two winding transformers. The Autotransformer differs from a conventional two winding transformer … Read more
What is a Transformer? Let’s start our new article on what is a transformer? In this article, we will discuss the transformer principle, construction, and working, and also the advantages of a transformer. A transformer is a static device (has no rotating parts) that consists of two or more stationary electrical circuits interlinked by a … Read more
