The modern steel plant receives low current‚ high voltage power from the generators of the electrical utility company. The purpose of the steel plant primary transformer is to step-down this voltage. The transformer thus provides high current‚ low voltage power for the EAF furnace. Large furnaces with transformers rated at 100MVA or higher is not uncommon. There are usually two stages to this process. The transformer first steps-down the voltage from high to medium levels. There are different

Some materials have a feature known as ferromagnetism. The prefix "ferro" refers to Iron‚ which is one such material. Ferromagnetic materials have the ability to "remember" the magnetic fields they have been subjected to. An atom consists of a number of negatively charged electrons‚ orbiting around a positively charged nucleus. These electrons also possess a quantity known as spin‚ which is roughly analogous to a spinning top. The combination of orbital and spin motions is called the angular momentum

SUMMARY Magnetic levitation is the process of levitating an object by exploiting magnetic fields. If the magnetic force of attraction is used‚ it is known as magnetic suspension. If magnetic repulsion is used‚ it is known as magnetic levitation. In the past‚ magnetic levitation was attempted by using permanent magnets. Earnshaw’s theorem however‚ proves that this is mathematically impossible. There exists no arrangement of static magnets of charges that can stably levitate an object. There

Sustainable Energy 1. How can electricity be defined? Electricity can be defined as the flow of electrical power or charge. It is a type of energy fuelled by the flow of electrons from positive and negative points within a conductor. 2. What is an electrical circuit? 3. What components are required to create an electrical circuit? In order to create an electrical circuit‚ you need: a) A source of electric power (battery or generator) b) A load to absorb the power (lamp

WIRELESS VIBRATION MEASUREMENT SYSTEM Vibrations are caused due to mechanical oscillation of a structure about an equilibrium point. There will be vibrations involved everywhere where there is any rotating system‚ mechanical system is involved. The vibrations involved at in these places will of high frequency. There will some places where the vibrations of lo0w frequency will be present which will also disturb the normal operation of the system or faultiness in the values measured by the system

The electron charge to mass ratio is a widely known in the scientific field as a value that measures the charge of a standard electron versus its mass. Once the electron is accelerated by a voltage difference the potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy. When an electron is placed into a magnetic field it experiences a force that is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron and the magnetic field. This causes the electron to move in the pattern of a circle‚ and centripetal force is
