Penstock Penstock pipe is used to bring water from the dam to the hydraulic turbine. Penstock pipes are made up of steel or reinforced concrete. The turbine is installed at a lower level from the dam. The penstock is provided with a gate valve at the inlet to completely close the water supply. It has a control valve to control the water flow rate into the turbine.
Given Data Voltage Va = 200 v Armature Resistance Ra = 0.5Ω Armature Current Ia = 20 A Induced EMF = Ea = ? The Induced EMF of a DC machine working as a Motor is Ea = Va − IaRa Ea = 200 − 20 × 0.5 Ea = 190 V
The average value of the sine wave over one complete cycle is actually zero. Hence, for a sine wave, the average value is defined over half the period. The average value expressed in terms of peak value is given by Average value = 0.637 × peak value
In electrical engineering, the power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power flowing to the load to the apparent power in the circuit ” R/Z”.
