In the PMMC type instrument, the deflection is directly proportional to the current flowing through the instrument, we get a uniform scale for the instrument. It gives a uniform scale of upto 270° or more. Td ∝ I
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.
The strength of a magnetic field is specified by the magnetic induction B or by the magnetic field strength H. A current I through a long, straight wire produces a magnetic field with strength H = I/2πr at a distance r from the wire. Given H = 1 A/m I = 10 A H = I/2πr 1 = 10/2πr r = 10/2π
