How to Electrical winding step by step

Electrical winding Step One Choose stator side with 3 points. Use 2mm wire and fold it double. Leaving 10cm as lead wire, start winding clockwise. Electrical winding Step Two Wind 16 turns on the first tooth, with

Difference between power transformers and distribution transformers

Those transformers installed at the sending or receiving end of long high-voltage transmission lines are the power transformers. The distribution transformer (generally pole mounted) are those installed in the localities of the city to provide utilization voltage

Power Formulas for AC and DC Circuit

Following are the Power Formulas in AC & DC Circuit Sr. Description Formula 1 Power in DC Circuits P = V X I P = I2 X R P = V2 / R 2 Power in AC

Filters

Need of filter circuit Filters are the electronic circuits used along with rectifiers to get a pure dc voltage. From all the rectifiers circuits get pulsating dc o/p. Where pulsating means some ac part or some ripples

Difference between Resultant and Equilibrants

Following are four main difference in Resultant and Equilibrants force No. Resultant Equilibrant 1. Definition: A resultant of number of forces acting on a body is a single. Force which can produce the same effect on the
