In the two wattmeter method, the readings of the two wattmeters are 500W, 500W respectively. The load power factor in a balanced 3-phase 3-wire circuit is:
Constantin‘, also known as ‘Eureka wire‘, is the trade-name for a copper-nickel alloy (approx. 60:40 ratio) formulated in the late 1800s by Edward Weston.
When variable loss becomes equal to the constant loss, efficiency is maximum. Losses = Pi + Pc Since copper loss is a variable loss therefore Losses = Pi + Pi = 2pi Thus at a maximum efficiency of this transformer total loss = 150 x 2 = 300 W
Isolator or disconnecting Switch: An isolator is a switch that is designed to open a circuit under no-load condition. Its main purpose is to isolate one portion of the circuit from the other and is not allowed to be opened while current is flowing in the line. Such switches are used on both sides of a circuit breaker so that its repair works or replacement could be done. Note that an isolator is never opened until the circuit breaker in the circuit is opened and it is closed before the circuit breaker is closed. If an isolator is switched OFF when a high current is flowing through the circuit, a heavy spark will be produced. This heavy spark may break the supporting insulator of the isolator which may cause a fatal accident to the operator.
The resistance R3 & R4 are connected in series = (30 + 70) = 100Ω Now three resistor i.e 100Ω, 100Ω & 50Ω is connected in parallel 1/Rp = 1/100 + 1/100 + 1/50 Rp = 100/4 = 25 Ω Resistance 50Ω and 25Ω are connected in series. Rtotal = (50 + 25)Ω Rtotal = 75Ω
Galvanized steel conductors do not corrode, and possess high resistance. Hence such Wires are used in telecommunications circuits, earth wires, guard wire, stray wire, etc.
