Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction

FARADAY’S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION According to the Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction, emf gets induced in the rotor. As the rotor circuit is closed one so, the current starts flowing in the rotor. This currents called the rotor current. This rotor current produces its own flux called rotor flux. Since this flux is produced… Read More »

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 »

Electric DC Motors Principle Of Operation & Types

First of all we should understand the concept of electric DC motors, an electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most of the electric motors operate through the interaction between electric motor’s magnetic field and winding currents to generate force within the motor. In certain applications, such as in the… Read More »

Electromagnetic Induction | Faraday Law & Lenz’s Law Explained

To best understand the Electromagnetic Induction lets first have a look on two important laws relating to the subject of this article. Lenz’s law is named after a Russian physicist of Baltic German descent Heinrich Lenz in 1834, and it states that, if an induced current flows, its direction is always such that it will… Read More »

Power Factor Improvement & Correction | Power Triangle & Capacitor Banks

The electrical energy is almost exclusively generated, transmitted and distributed in the form of alternating current. Therefore, the question of power factor immediately comes into picture. Most of the loads (e.g. induction motors, arc lamps) are inductive in nature and hence have low lagging power factor. Low power factor is highly undesirable as it causes… Read More »

Gear Motor Types Operating Principle and Applications

What is a Gear Motor?  Gear motor is a special type of electrical motor. The main purpose of gear motor is to produce high torque while using a low horsepower, or low speed, motor output. You can find gear motors in many different applications including in many devices or appliances in your home. Gear motors… Read More »
