Ohm's Law states that the voltage (V) in a circuit is equal to the current (I) multiplied by the resistance (R).
V = I * R
Voltage is measured in volts (V)
Current is measured in amperes (A)
Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω)
Example: If a circuit has a current of 2A flowing through a resistance of 5Ω, the voltage would be 10V (2A * 5Ω = 10V)

A star-delta starter is used to reduce the starting current of a motor by initially connecting the motor windings in a star configuration and then switching to a delta configuration.
The motor windings are initially connected in a star configuration during starting to reduce the starting current.
After a certain period, the windings are switched to a delta configuration to achieve full speed and torque.
This transition fr...
Undervoltage faults occur when the voltage in a system drops below the normal operating level, leading to potential equipment damage or malfunction.
Undervoltage faults can be caused by issues such as power supply fluctuations, equipment failures, or overloaded circuits.
