While estimating the overhead lines, if the number of poles required is 14, then what is the estimated number of earth sets required?
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
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.
Atoms or ions with unpaired electrons are attracted to a magnetic field; the more unpaired electrons, the greater is the attraction. Such substances are called paramagnetic. Molecular oxygen is a paramagnetic gas by virtue of its two unpaired electrons.
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.
