What is a Transistor The transistor is a three-layer semiconductor device that consists of: two n-type layers and one p-type layer of material which is called npn transistor two p-type layers and one n- type layer of material which is called an pnp transistor There are two basic types of transistors i.e.bipolar junction transistor or… Read More »
Before discussing the types and importance of busbar protections let’s see what is a bus bar? The word bus is derived from Latin word “OMNIBUS” that means common for all, so busbar is actually a common and main part of a power distribution system that serves as nerve center of the power system where various… Read More »
What is Electricity? Electricity is a form of energy that can be easily changed to other forms. Electricity comes mainly from 2 sources i.e. Power stations and generators that supply a lot of electricity and normally used in many electrical appliances and industrial applications. From Electric Cells or batteries which are used for portable purposes. To… Read More »
Single Phase power circuits Single phase electric power or circuit refers to the distribution of alternating current electric power using a system in which all the voltages of the supply vary in corresponding exactly. Single-phase distribution is used when loads are mostly used for the purpose of lighting and heating which can also be for… Read More »
What is a Diode? Di+Ode is a semiconductor device with two terminals allowing the flow of current in one direction only, diodes are made up of Silicon, Germanium & GaAs. The perfect diode would be a perfect conductor in one direction (forward bias) and a perfect insulator in the other direction (reverse bias). In many situations, using… Read More »
What is the Wheatstone Bridge? The Wheatstone Bridge consists of a dc voltage source, four resistors and a detector. The detector is a type of ammeter called a galvanometer. The galvanometer is used to detect the condition ig = 0 .When the circuit satisfies this condition we say that “the bridge is balanced”. A Wheatstone bridge… Read More »
