Chapter 1 The History of Electric Transformer INTRODUCTION: Transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one circuit to another‚ usually with a change in voltage. Transformers work only with a varying electric current‚ such as alternating current (AC). Transformers are important in the distribution of electric power. They raise the voltage of the electricity generated at a power plant to the high levels needed to transmit the electricity efficiently. Other transformers

Regenerative Braking Regenerative braking is used on automobiles to recoup some of the energy that is lost while the vehicle is stopping. This technology is used on hybrid vehicles that use both gas and electricity as sources of power. The energy that is recouped during braking is saved in a storage battery and used later to power the motor whenever the vehicle is using its electric power source. Conventional Braking Systems In braking systems on conventional vehicles‚ friction is used to counteract

transmission.HVDC Light requires only two elements namely a converter station and a pair of ground cables. The new HVDC Light cable is an extruded‚ single-pole cable. It is ideally suited for feeding power into growing metropolitan areas from a suburban substation. HVDC Light is inherent environmentally friendly cables instead of OH transmission lines. Virtually no magnetic field. The environmental gains would be substantial‚ since the power supplied via the DC cables will be transmitted from efficient power
