Definition: The static Kramer-drive is the method of controlling the speed of an induction motor by injecting the opposite-phase voltage in the rotor circuit. The injected voltage increases the resistance of the rotor, thus controlled the speed of the motor. By changing the injected voltage, the resistance and speed of an induction motor are controlled. …
The Static Scherbius Drive provides the speed control of a wound rotor motor below synchronous speed. The portion of rotor AC power is converted into DC by a diode bridge. The controlled rectifier works as an inverter and converts the DC power back into AC and feeds it back to the AC source. This drive …
There are several differences between the autotransformer and the conventional transformer. One of the major difference between them is that the autotransformer has only one winding whereas the conventional transformer has two separate windings. The other differences between them are explained below in the form of the comparison chart. Content: Autotransformer V/S Conventional Transformer Comparison …

Definition: The load duration curve is defined as the curve between the load and time in which the ordinates representing the load, plotted in the order of decreasing magnitude, i.e., with the greatest load at the left, lesser loads towards the rights and the lowest loads at the time extreme right. The load duration curve is …
Definition: Load curve or chronological curve is the graphical representation of load (in kW or MW) in proper time sequence and the time in hours. It shows the variation of load on the power station.When the load curve is plotted for 24 hours a day, then it is called daily load curve. If the one …
Definition: The voltage source inverter is defined as the inverter which takes a variable frequency from a DC supply. The input voltage of the voltage source inverter remains constant, and their output voltage is independent of the load.The magnitude of the load current depends on the nature of the load impedance. The figure below shows …
Definition: Tractive effort is defined as the force at the rims or the outer edges of the driving wheels of moving trains. In other words, it is the sum of the tractive force and rolling effort on the road surface. In the main line train, tractive effort is caused by the locomotive, and in a suburban …
Definition: The full load test on a small transformer is very convenient, but on the large transformer, it is very difficult. The maximum temperature rise in a large transformer is determined by the full load test. This test is called, back-to-back test, regenerative test or Sumpner’s test. The suitable load which absorbs the full load …

The conductor and insulator are the types of material. One of the major difference between the conductor and insulator is that the conductor allows the energy (i.e., current or heat ) to pass through it, whereas the insulator does not allow the energy to pass through it. Some other differences between them are explained below …
Definition: The current source inverter converts the input direct current into an alternating current. In current source inverter, the input current remains constant but this input current is adjustable. The current source inverter is also called current fed inverter. The output voltage of the inverter is independent of the load. The magnitude and nature of …
