What is Grey Code? Binary to Grey and Grey to Binary Conversions

Gray Code is one of the most important codes. It is a non-weighted code which belongs to a class of codes called minimum change codes. In this codes while traversing from one step to another step only one bit in the code group changes. In case of Gray Code two adjacent code numbers differs from… Read More: What is Grey Code?

Transformers Maintenance & EMF Equation of a Transformer

Power transformer is most costly and essential equipment of an electrical system. It is well known fact that power transformers are the heart of the power systems which enables to establish very large power systems networks. Failure of any transformer will create critical situation in power distribution network hence extra attention is required in commissioning,… Read More: Transformers Maintenance & EMF Equation of a Transformer »

Sinusoidal Voltage Equation

A sinusoidal voltage can be described by the equation: v(t) = VM sin (ωt + Φ) or v(t) = VM cos (ωt + Φ) where v(t) Instantaneous value of the voltage, in volts (V). VM Maximum or peak value of the voltage, in volts (V) T Period: The time taken for one cycle, in seconds… Read More: Sinusoidal Voltage Equation »

CIRCUIT BREAKERS WORKING PRINCIPLE & TYPES

It is well known that Circuit Breakers are devices which are used to break a circuit continuity and restore it again when required. Normally these are known as switching devices that can be activated manually or automatically to control the electrical power systems. In case of short circuiting or leakage of the larger amount of… Read More: CIRCUIT BREAKERS WORKING PRINCIPLE & TYPES »

Explanation of Hysteresis Loss & Eddy Current Losses in Transformers

Transformer is very simple and basic part of electrical system and considered most efficient of electrical components of machines. If we consider experimental models which are using superconducting windings then we may talk about achieving the the performance of 99.75 percent as well. In practice, energy is found to be lost in the windings, core and… Read More: Explanation of Hysteresis Loss & Eddy Current Losses in Transformers »
