Q1. What is transformer ?
Ans. 
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
• Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current (AC) signal.

• They consist of two or more coils of wire, known as windings, that are wound around a core made of magnetic material.

• The primary winding receives the electrical energy from the input circuit a...read more

Q2. How to work 3 phase induction motor?
Ans. 
A 3-phase induction motor works by creating a rotating magnetic field that interacts with the rotor to produce motion.
• A 3-phase induction motor requires a 3-phase power supply.

• The stator windings create a rotating magnetic field.

• The rotating magnetic field induces currents in the rotor, which in turn creates a magnetic field.

• The interaction between the stator and rotor magnetic fields produces torque and rotation.

• The s...read more

Q4. What are the types of losses in transformer ?
Ans. 
The types of losses in a transformer are copper losses and iron losses.
• Copper losses occur due to the resistance of the transformer windings.

• Iron losses occur due to the magnetic properties of the transformer core.

• Copper losses include both the I^2R losses in the windings and eddy current losses.

• Iron losses include hysteresis losses and eddy current losses in the core.

• Copper losses can be reduced by using larger conduc...read more

Q1. Why transformer rating in kva not kw ?
Ans. 
Transformer rating is in kVA instead of kW because it takes into account both the real power and the reactive power.
• kVA represents the apparent power of the transformer, which is the combination of real power (kW) and reactive power (kVAR).

• Reactive power is required to magnetize the transformer's core and establish the magnetic field.

• The real power (kW) is the power that is actually consumed or used by the load.

• The app...read more

Q1. What is inductor and capacitor ?
Ans. 
An inductor is a passive electronic component that stores energy in a magnetic field, while a capacitor stores energy in an electric field.
• Inductor: stores energy in a magnetic field

• Capacitor: stores energy in an electric field

• Inductors resist changes in current flow

• Capacitors resist changes in voltage

• Inductors are used in filters, transformers, and energy storage systems

• Capacitors are used in timing circuits, power fa
