    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.0 Definition of Transformer: A Transformer is a static electric device that transfers electrical power from the primary winding to the secondary winding using electromagnetic induction. Transformers can raise or lower the voltage with conforming drop or rise in current. Transformers work on the value of mutual induction. When two coils are positioned so that the flux produced by one coil links to the other coil, then by fluctuating current in one coil the electromagnetic field is induced

  • Transformer Case Study

    806 Words  | 2 Pages

    Introduction: Transformers are widely used in power systems and it is considered as the most essential component of every power system. A transformer is a static device that works on Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction and it is used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another or in other words it is a device which is used for decreasing or increasing the voltage of an alternating current. Basically there are two types of transformer i.e. step up and step down transformer but in general

  • Transformer Oil Quality/Oil Filtration

    1834 Words  | 4 Pages

    Most substation transformer failures, excluding acts of man or nature, can often be traced to poor maintenance of the transformer or its related components. Catastrophic failure of a substation transformer can be prevented by accurately testing the condition of the oil on a yearly basis and by having a monthly visual inspection program in place. Most of the checks on a substation transformer are relatively simple: checks for oil leaks, oil level, temperature, the operation of the on-load tap-changer

In this movie, a civil war broke out in a foreign planet Cybertron between the autobots and the decepticons. And in order to rebuild what was destroyed someone has betrayed their side .It is an action movie with a great soundtrack and I really like how in like every movie they play “Linkin Park”. The direction was

  • X-Ray Circuit Essay

    1732 Words  | 4 Pages

    To trace the energy of an electron from the time it enters the x-ray circuit until it’s converted to light, start with a standard U.S. 60-HZ AC (alternating current) wall circuit with a nominal root mean square (rms) voltage of 220. An alternating current is created by, electrons moving in one direction and then reversing to move in the opposite direction. Because of this process in electron motion the AC is constantly establishing, collapsing, reestablishing, and re-collapsing its surrounding magnetic

  • Tesla Coil Draft

    lightning. I sought out to harness the same power possessed by Zeus by following in the footsteps of Nikola Tesla, arguably the most influential and underrated scientist and engineer in modern history. One of the inventions he created was a resonate transformer that converts low-frequency energy to high-frequency energy in hopes of one day having wireless energy for all. This sparked my interest in building a Tesla Coil. At the genesis of the idea, I did not have any experience with electricity or engineering

  • Essay On Voltage Stability

    603 Words  | 2 Pages

    Voltage stability is defined as the ability of a system to restore steady voltages at all buses in the power system after being exposed by any disturbance from a given initial operating conditions. Voltage stability purely depends on the capability to maintain equilibrium between load supply and load demand from the consumer end. When there will be any progressive fall or rise of voltages of some buses that can cause instability. Power system stability is expressed by the capability of a power system

  • Michael Faraday

    was the first electric transformer. In a second series of experiments in September he discovered magneto-electric induction: the production of a steady electric current. To do this, Faraday attached two wires through a sliding contact to a copper disc. By rotating the disc between the poles of a horseshoe magnet he obtained a continuous direct current. This was the first generator. From his experiments came devices that led to the modern electric motor, generator and transformer. Faraday continued his

    Auto-transformers, step-up transformers, and step-down transformers use electromagnetic induction to change currents therefore being able to produce kVp, mAs, and DC current using rectifiers when it comes to x-rays. The following paper will describe in brief detail a little of Michael Faraday’s life, how electromagnetic induction came about, how MRI uses electromagnetic induction to function, and an explanation on how auto-transformers, step-up transformers, and step-down transformers work and

  • Technical Benefits Of Controlled Switching

    1446 Words  | 3 Pages

    phenomenon of internal winding fault which produces internally has deep effect on the lifetime of a transformer [58]. This kind of faults will lead to generated heat in the faulted region of the winding. Therefore, this generated heat will cause the fault to step rapidly to more critical forms, such as phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults [59] [60]. The internal short circuit currents of transformer may be larger than its terminal short circuit currents [61]. These faults will result in downtime
