The transformers which are particularly designed to provide electrical isolation between primary and secondary circuits, without a change in voltage and current level are called isolation transformers. The turns ratio of such isolation transformers is 1:1 i.e N1 and N2. Hence, isolation transformers are also called 1:1 transformers. The isolation transformer greatly reduces any voltage spikes that originate on the supply side before they are transferred to the load side. Some isolation transformers are built with a turns ratio of 1:1. A transformer of this type has the same input and output voltages and is used for the purpose of isolation only. The main function of the isolation transformer is to reduce the voltage spike before it reaches the load.
While estimating the overhead lines, the first and last pole is always earth connected and after every 3rd electrical pole, the fourth pole is earthed. Therefore, the approximate number of required ground set = 4
This type of motor is designed to operate with the start winding and it’s series capacitor permanently connected to the supply. lt has two capacitors connected in parallel in the start winding circuit for starting purposes. The running capacitor is employed to correct the power factor. As a result, this motor has a higher starting torque as well as a higher efficiency. These motors are employed in sizes ranging from 375 W to 7.5 kW. The power factor of these motor is upto 80% to 100%.
In nuclear power plant the graphite is used as a moderator. The job of the moderator is to absorb some of the kinetic energy of the neutrons to slow them down. This is because slow neutrons are more easily absorbed by uranium-235. A neutron slowed In this way can start the fission process.
