Q: What is electric traction?
A:Electric traction
means using the electric power for traction system (i.e. for
railways,trams, trolleys etc). Electric traction means use of the
electricity for all the above machines. Now a days, magnetic traction is
also used for bullet trains.and basically dc motors are used for
electric traction systems.
Q: How can you start-up the 40w tube lite with 230v AC/DC without using any choke/Coil?
A:It's
possible by means of Electronic chokes,otherwise it's not possible to
ionize the particles in tube light with normal voltage.
Q: What is "pu" in electrical engineering?
A:Pu stands for per unit and this will be used in single line diagram of power distribution and
it is like a huge electrical circuit with no of components (generators,
transformers, loads) with different ratings (in MVA and KV). To bring
all the ratings into common platform we use pu concept in which, in
general largest MVA and KV ratings of the component is considered as
base values, then all other component ratings will get back into this
basis.Those values are called as pu values. (p.u=actual value/base
value).
Q: Operation carried out in Thermal power stations?
A:The
water is obtained in the boiler and the coal is burnt so that steam is
obtained this steam is allowed to hit the turbine , the turbine which is
coupled with the generator generates the electricity.
Q: Why link is provided in neutral of an ac circuit and fuse in phase of ac circuit?
A:Link
is provided at a Neutral common point in the circuit from which various
connection are taken for the individual control circuit and so it is
given in a link form to withstand high Amps. But in the case of Fuse in
the Phase of AC circuit it is designed such that the fuse rating is
calculated for the particular circuit (i.e load) only.So if any
malfunction happen the fuse connected in the particular control circuit
alone will blow off.
Q: What is the difference between electronic regulator and ordinary electrical rheostat regulator for fans?
A:The difference between the electronic and ordinary electrical regulator
is that in electronic regulator power losses are less because as we
decrease the speed the electronic regulator gives the power needed for
that particular speed but in case of ordinary rheostat type regulator,
the power wastage is same for every speed and no power is saved.In
electronic regulator, triac is employed for speed control by varying the
firing angle speed and it is controlled but in rheostatic ,control
resistance is decreased by steps to achieve speed control.
