CB has contacts that can break the circuit, while
The rating of equipment in a substation is crucial for its efficient functioning.
The rating of transformers should be based on the maximum load they are expected to carry.
Circuit breakers should be rated for the maximum fault current they may encounter.
Busbars should be rated for the maximum current they may carry.
Lightning arresters should be rated for the maximum voltage they may encounter.
The rating of capacitors sh...
A power transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
It is used to step up or step down the voltage of an alternating current (AC) power supply.
It consists of two or more coils of insulated wire wound around a magnetic core.
The primary coil is connected to the input voltage source and the secondary coil is connected to the output loa...

Active components require a power source to operate, while passive components do not.
Active components require an external power source to function, such as transistors and integrated circuits.
Passive components do not require an external power source, such as resistors and capacitors.
Active components can control the flow of electricity, while passive components simply store or dissipate energy.
Examples of active comp...
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of current in a circuit, while a capacitor stores and releases electrical energy.
Resistance limits the flow of current, while a capacitor stores and releases charge.
Resistance is measured in ohms, while capacitance is measured in farads.
Examples of resistors include carbon film resistors, while examples of capacitors include ceramic capacitors.
Resistance dissipates energy in the...
SMT stands for Surface Mount Technology, a method of electronic component assembly where components are mounted directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB).
SMT components are smaller and lighter than through-hole components, allowing for higher component density on PCBs.
SMT components are typically mounted using solder paste and reflow soldering techniques.
SMT technology allows for automated assembly pro...

Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points.
Ohm's law is represented by the equation I = V/R, where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance.
It is named after Georg Simon Ohm, a German physicist who first formulated this law.
This law is applicable to all types of circuits, including DC and AC circuits.
It is use...
DOL starter stands for Direct-On-Line starter, used to start motors by directly connecting them to the power supply.
DOL starter is the simplest and most common type of motor starter.
It directly connects the motor to the power supply without any intermediate starting method.
It provides full voltage to the motor during starting, which can cause high inrush current.
DOL starters are suitable for small to medium-sized motor...
APFC PANEL stands for Automatic Power Factor Correction Panel, used to maintain power factor in electrical systems.
