Lap Winding:-In a lap winding the number of parallel paths (a) is always equal to the number of poles (p) and also to the number of brushes. In the given question number of poles is 4 hence the number of brushes will be 4. Wave Winding:- In wave windings, the number of parallel paths (a) is always two and there may be two or more brush positions.
No of disc required for 11 kV transmission line = 1 disc Since the transmission line is 3-phase, therefore, the number of discs required for a single-pole will be 3. Total no. of poles = 80 No of disc = 3 × 80 = 240
We use universal motors in mixer grinders. Universal motors can run both on a.c. and d.c. The universal motor works on the same principle that DC series motor works. DC series motor has the characteristics of operating at high-speed when there is no load and operating at low-speed when the load is applied. It has high starting torque characteristics. So it is used in mixers, where initially we put some load at starting.
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.
A phase sequence is an order or sequence in which the currents or voltages of different phases attain their maximum values. In a three-phase system, there are only two possible phase sequences: R-Y-B (positive Phase Sequence) and R-B-Y (Negative Phase Sequence).
