A DC Generator is an electrical device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. It mainly consists of three main parts, i.e. magnetic field system, armature and commutator and brush gear. The other parts of a DC Generator are magnetic frame and yoke, pole core and pole shoes, field or exciting coils, armature core and …
A DC Machine is an electro-mechanical energy conversion device. There are two types of DC machines; one is the DC generator, and another one is known as DC motor. A DC generator converts mechanical power (ωT) into DC electrical power (EI), whereas, a DC motor converts d.c electrical power into mechanical power. The AC motor …
The Two Wattmeter Method is explained, taking an example of a balanced load. In this, we have to prove that the power measured by the two wattmeter i.e. the sum of the two wattmeter readings is equal to root 3 times of the phase voltage and line voltage (√3VLIL Cosϕ) which is the actual power …
Two Wattmeter Method can be employed to measure the power in a 3 phase, three-wire star or delta connected the balanced or unbalanced load. In two wattmeter method, the current coils of the wattmeter are connected with any two lines, say R and Y and the potential coil of each wattmeter is joined on the …
Power measurement in an AC circuit is measured with the help of a Wattmeter. A wattmeter is an instrument which consists of two coils called Current coil and Potential coil. The current coil having low resistance is connected in series with the load so that it carries the load current. The potential coil having the …

The conversion or transformation or replacement of the star connected load network to a Delta connected network and similarly, a delta connected network to a star network is done by Star to Delta or Delta to Star Conversion. Contents: Star to Delta Conversion Delta to Star Conversion Star to Delta Conversion In star to delta …
Power in 3 Phase Circuits The three-phase power is mainly used for generation, transmission and distribution of electrical power because of their superiority. It is more economical as compared to single-phase power and requires three live conductors for power supply. Power in a single-phase system or circuit is given by the relation shown below: Where, …
The electrical system is of two types i.e., the single-phase system and the three-phase system. The single-phase system has only one phase wire and one return wire thus it is used for low power transmission. The three-phase system has three live wire and one returns the path. The three-phase system is used for transmitting a …

In Delta (Δ) or Mesh connection, the finished terminal of one winding is connected to start terminal of the other phase and so on which gives a closed circuit. The three-line conductors are run from the three junctions of the mesh called Line Conductors. The connection in delta form is shown in the figure below: …
In the Star Connection, the similar ends (either start or finish) of the three windings are connected to a common point called star or neutral point. The three-line conductors run from the remaining three free terminals called line conductors. The wires are carried to the external circuit, giving three-phase, three-wire star connected systems. However, sometimes …
