Windmill Wind Turbine | Wind Energy Power & Electricity Explained

What is Windmill or Wind Power Turbine? Windmill or wind turbines are very simple devices which are used to generate wind electricity by using the wind power. The principle of wind mill is very simple i.e. convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy which further converts the mechanical energy to electricity so the overall… Read More »

List of Functional Tests Required for Electrical Systems

Electrical functional testing is very important and critical part of any electrical project. Most of the times it is necessary to hire a third party in order to conduct the function testing of electrical systems. Big electromechanical companies are having their own testing and commissioning teams that can perform the electrical tests depending upon the… Read More »

Why Skin Effect Occurs in Transmission Lines?

The distribution of current throughout cross section of  a conductor is uniform only when DC is passing through it. When Alternating Current(AC) is passing through a conductor, the current is non uniformly distributed over the cross section in a manner that the current density is higher at the surface of the conductor compared to the… Read More »
