#18 Why back emf used for a dc motor? highlight its significance?

Why back emf used for a dc motor? highlight its significance. The induced emf developed when the rotating conductors of the armature between the poles of magnet, in a DC motor, cut the magnetic flux, opposes the current flowing through the conductor, when the armature rotates, is called back emf. Its value depends upon the speed of rotation of the armature conductors. In starting, the value of back emf is zero.

#17 What are the various kind of cables used for transmission?

What are the various kind of cables used for transmission? Cables, which are used for transmitting power, can be categorized in three forms: • Low-tension cables, which can transmit voltage upto 1000 volts. • High-tension cables can transmit voltage upto 23000 volts. • Super tension cables can transmit voltage 66 kV to 132 kV.

#16 How can you relate power engineering with electrical engineering?

How can you relate power engineering with electrical engineering? Power engineering is a sub division of electrical engineering. It deals with generation, transmission and distribution of energy in electrical form. Design of all power equipments also comes under power engineering. Power engineers may work on the design and maintenance of the power grid i.e. called on grid systems and they might work on off grid systems that are not connected to the system.

#15 Why AC systems are preferred over DC systems?

Why AC systems are preferred over DC systems? Due to following reasons, AC systems are preferred over DC systems: a. It is easy to maintain and change the voltage of AC electricity for transmission and distribution. b. Plant cost for AC transmission (circuit breakers, transformers etc) is much lower than the equivalent DC transmission c. From power stations, AC is produced so it is better to use AC then DC instead of converting it. d. When a large fault occurs in a network, it is easier to interrupt in an AC system, as the sine wave current will naturally tend to zero at some point making the current easier to interrupt.

#14 State the difference between generator and alternator?

State the difference between generator and alternator Generator and alternator are two devices, which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Both have the same principle of electromagnetic induction, the only difference is that their construction. Generator persists stationary magnetic field and rotating conductor which rolls on the armature with slip rings and brushes riding against each other, hence it converts the induced emf into dc current for external load whereas an alternator has a stationary armature and rotating magnetic field for high voltages but for low voltage output rotating armature and stationary magnetic field is used.

#6 Moving Iron Instrument

                                        MOVING IRON  • Moving-iron instruments are generally used to measure alternating voltages and currents.  • In moving-iron instruments the movable system consists of one or more pieces of soft iron, which are so pivoted as to be acted upon by the magnetic field produced by the current in coil. Components  • Moving element: a small piece of soft iron in the form of a vane or rod.  • Coil: to produce the magnetic field due to current flowing through it and also to magnetize the iron pieces.  • In repulsion type, a fixed vane or rod is also used and magnetized with the same polarity.  • Control torque is provided by spring or weight (gravity).  • Damping torque: the damping device consisting of an air chamber and a moving vane attached to the instrument spindle.  • Deflecting...
