The electrical energy is produced at generating stations, and through the transmission network, it is transmitted to the consumers. Between the generating stations and the distribution stations, three different levels of voltage (transmission, sub-transmission and distribution level of voltage) are used. The high voltage is required for long distance transmission and, the low voltage is …
The squirrel cage induction motor is the most popular type of AC motor. It is very commonly used in industries because it is very cheap, robust, efficient, and reliable. The slip ring motor has very little application in industries. Rarely 5% – 10% slip ring motors are used in industries because it has several disadvantages …

Definition: The transformer vector group show the phase difference between the primary and secondary sides of the transformer. It also determines the high voltage and low voltage windings arrangement of three phase transformers.The three phase transformer is connected in various ways. On the basis of connection, the vector group of the transformer is determined. Three …
A three phase transformer is used to transfer a large amount of power. The three phase transformer is required to step-up and step-down the voltages at various stages of a power system network. The three phase transformer is constructed in two ways. Three separate single phase transformer is suitably connected for three phase operation. A …
The three phase transformer consists three transformers either separate or combined with one core. The primary and secondary of the transformer can be independently connected either in star or delta. There are four possible connections for a 3-phase transformer bank. Δ – Δ (Delta – Delta) Connection Υ – Υ (Star – Star) Connection Δ …
Definition: The transformer is the static device which works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It is used for transferring the electrical power from one circuit to another without any variation in their frequency. In electromagnetic induction, the transfer of energy from one circuit to another takes places by the help of the mutual induction. i.e …
The power supply system is mainly classified into two types, i.e., single phase and the three phase system. The single phase is used in a place where less power is required and for running the small loads. The three phases are used in large industries, factories and in the manufacturing unit where a large amount …
The ideal transformer has no resistance, but in the actual transformer, there is always some resistance to the primary and secondary windings. For making the calculation easy the resistance of the transformer can be transferred to the either side. The resistance is transferred from one side to another in such a manner that the percentage …
Step-up Transformer A transformer in which the output (secondary) voltage is greater than its input (primary) voltage is called a step-up transformer. The step-up transformer decreases the output current for keeping the input and output power of the system equal. Considered a step-up transformer shown in the figure below. The E1 and E2 are the …
Definition: The Scott-T Connection is the method of connecting two single phase transformer to perform the 3-phase to 2-phase conversion and vice-versa. The two transformers are connected electrically but not magnetically.One of the transformers is called the main transformer, and the other is called the auxiliary or teaser transformer. The figure below shows the Scott-T …
