A single phase 240 V, 1 kW heater is connected across single phase 240 V, 50 Hz supply through an SCR. For firing angle delay of 90˚, calculate the power absorbed in the heater element.
Equivalent resistance of the circuit, Req = (12||18) + 8 Req = 7.2 + 8 Req = 15.2 ohm Source current = current through 8 ohm resistor, I = Vr/R8 I = 20/8 I = 2.5 A Supply votage V = I*Req V = 2.5*15.2 V = 38 V
Feeder automation is a constituent of distribution automation system, which principally focuses on remote monitoring and control of the distribution systems & their equipment. Feeder automation is an essential part of distribution automation systems that primarily handle aspects like remote monitoring and the efficient management.
Buchholz relay is gas operated relay. It will operate when internal fault occurs in transformer. It is placed between tank to main conservator. It has two contacts trip and alarm. Use of Buchholz relay in distribution transformer is not economical.
