Figure 1: Sumpner’s Test (Back to Back Test) of Transformer. Sumpner’s test is the improved method of determining the regulation, efficiency and heating on load conditions than O.C and S.C tests. This test requires two similar transformers, which can be connected to the supply in such a way that one is loaded on other. The

When a single-phase induction motor is supplied from a source, the flux produced will be alternating in nature. Due to transformer action, an e.m.f is induced in the stationary rotor bars and the flux produced will also be alternating. As the stator flux and the rotor flux have the same magnetic axis, they lack to

Synchroscope instrument is used for synchronization process. i.e. Connecting 3 phase alternator for parallel operation. Necessity of Synchroscope In power system, the 3 phase alternators, transformers are connected in parallel with system. When 3 phase alternator are connected to the line or system, the correct instant of connecting it to the system is important. That

The ratio of the phasor sum of E.M.Fs induced in all the coils distributed in a number of slots under one pole to the arithmetic sum of the E.M.Fs induced is known as distribution factor (Kd). It is also known as breadth factor (Kb).

A single phase non-salient pole synchronous motor with no D.C excitation is known as hysteresis motor. This motor is so called because it runs on torque produced by the hysteresis loss induced in the rotor. Figure 1: Hysteresis Motor.
