What is Synchroscope? Working, Construction, Diagram & Applications

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

What is Ohmmeter? Construction, Circuit Diagram, Types & Working

Ohmmeter is used to directly measure resistance of a device, element, circuit or any portion thereof. This meter is used to determine approximate (not too accurate) resistance of the circuit components. It can be used to measure the resistance of heating element of heater, electric iron, field coil resistance, sorting resistors used in electronics circuits. It can also

What is Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT)? Working Principle, Diagram & Applications

A constant voltage transformer (CVT) works on ferro-resonant principle. The variation in the primary flux with an unsaturated iron core does not affect the secondary flux with saturated iron core. Thus, the secondary induced voltage remains relatively independent of the voltage impressed upon the primary winding. Fig. 1: Constant Voltage Transformer (CVT).
