By the term, torque is meant the turning or twisting moment of a force about an axis. It is measured by the product of the force and the radius at which this force acts. Consider a pulley of radius r meter acted upon by a circumferential force of F Newton which causes it to rotate at N r.p.m. The angular speed of the pulley is ω = 2πN/60 rad/sec Work is done by this force in one revolution = Force × distance = F × 2πR Joule The power developed = Work Done/Time = (F × 2πR)/60/N = (F × R) × (2πN)/60 The power developed = T × ω watt or P = T ω Watt pmech = (ωT)
The centrifugal switch is used to disconnect the starting winding of the motor once the motor approaches its normal operating speed i.e 50% – 70% speed.
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.
In Two wattmeter method the current coils of the wattmeter are connected with any two lines, say R and Y and the potential coil of each wattmeter is joined across the same line, the third line i.e. B as shown below in the figure . In the circuit B is the common point for both the wattmeter.
