Introduction A universal motor is a special type of motor which is designed to run on either DC or singlephase AC supply. These motors are generally series wound (armature and field winding are in series), andhence produce high starting torque (See characteristics of DC motors here). That is why, universalmotors generally come built into the … Read more
Fuse An electrical fuse is a simple device used to interrupt an electrical circuit during over currentcondition due to short circuit and/or overload. An electrical fuse operates on the principle of heatingeffect of electric current. During normal operating condition, the current flowing through the fusingelement is such that the rate of heat production in the … Read more
What is a Circuit Breaker? A circuit breaker essentially consists of fixed and moving contacts, called electrodes. Undernormal operating conditions, these contacts remain closed and will not open automatically until andUnless the system becomes faulty.The contacts can be opened manually or by remote control whenever desired. When a fault occurs on anypart of the system, … Read more
A Complete Introduction Three-phase transformers are passive machines that pass electrical energy between circuits. In the secondary circuit, a magnetic flux induces an electromotive force (emf), thus stepping up (increase) or stepping down (decrease) voltages without altering the frequency. Transformers are the unsung heroes of modern electrical power systems, silently stepping up or stepping down … Read more

Difference Between Power And Distribution Transformer: Complete Guide, Key Differences, Applications & Cost Analysis Electricity travels a long journey before reaching our homes and industries. From large power plants to the small transformers installed in our neighborhoods, each component of the power system plays a critical role. In this journey, power transformers and distribution transformers … Read more
Introduction and Importance of Power Factor In today’s electrical systems, electrical energy is almost entirely generated, transmitted, and distributed in the form of AC (Alternating Current).This makes power factor an important topic in electrical engineering. Most loads—such as induction motors, arc lamps, and other inductive equipment—generally have a low and lagging power factor. When the … Read more
