The AC supply is applied to the load for only a controlled fraction of each cycle. The triac is held in an OFF condition for a portion of its cycle then is triggered ON at a time determined by the circuit. Each time the triac is turned on‚ the load current changes very quickly - a few micro seconds – from zero to a value determined by the lamp resistance and the value of the mains voltage at that instant in time. This transition generates Radio Frequency Interference. It is greatest when the triac is

Electrical Q&A Part-3 Questions and Answers related to Transformer: 1. What is a transformer and how does it work? * A transformer is an electrical apparatus designed to convert alternating current from one voltage to another. It can be designed to “step up” or “step down” voltages and works on the magnetic induction principle. * A transformer has no moving parts and is a completely static solid state device‚ which insures‚ under normal operating conditions‚ a long and trouble-free

produced based on same fundamental principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic induction where whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux‚ dynamically induced electromotive force is produced‚ and this causes current to flow if the conductor/conductors is closed. The direction of induced current is given by Fleming’s right hand rule. A DC generator consists of these vital parts: o Yoke- It is the outer frame of a DC and it is made up of cast iron or steel. It carries the magnetic flux produced by field

to obtain a graph of output voltage-load current characteristic at 700 rpm which is 50% rated speed for all the generators. From the results‚ we analyze the characteristics of each type of generator. The separately excited‚ is driven at constant speed and has a fixed field current‚ the output voltage will decrease with increased load current. Moreover for series wound generator‚ the external characteristic curve shows‚ the voltage output starts at current equal to zero and increase until a peak point

Ryan Gemmell ENG201 – 12pm Nikola Tesla (1856 - 1943) Growing up in America‚ most children will learn about the history of electricity‚ telephones‚ engines‚ and other mechanical inventions. Almost everybody has heard of Benjamin Franklin and his discovery using lightening and a kite‚ Thomas Edison manufacturing the first plausible indoor light bulb‚ and other revolutionary discoveries. Unfortunately‚ here in the US‚ a Belgian mastermind that helped to shape the modern technological world is quite

Nikola Tesla By Karoline A. Woodhouse Introduction Although the use of electricity dates back to Benjamin Franklin’s days‚ it was not practical for use in the home until one person changed the way science thinks about it- Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla’s childhood‚ greatest inventions‚ and position as the electrician for the World’s Fair all shaped how he revolutionized the use of electricity and brought it to everyone in America. Childhood and Personal Life Born in a farm house on July 9‚ 1856

Cathode-Ray Oscilloscope OBJECTIVE: To learn how to operate a cathode-ray oscilloscope. APPARATUS: Cathode-ray oscilloscope‚ multimeter‚ and oscillator. INTRODUCTION: The cathode-ray oscilloscope (CRO) is a common laboratory instrument that provides accurate time and aplitude measurements of voltage signals over a wide range of frequencies. Its reliability‚ stability‚ and ease of operation make it suitable as a general purpose laboratory instrument. The heart of the CRO is a cathode-ray tube

locations—power flow analysis allows one to determine other quantities. The most important of these quantities are the voltages at locations throughout the transmission system‚ which‚ for alternating current (a.c.)‚ consist of both a magnitude and a time element or phase angle. Once the voltages are known‚ the currents flowing through every transmission link can be easily calculated. Thus the name power flow or load flow‚ as it is often called in the industry: given the amount of power delivered and
