A solar car is a vehicle powered entirely or partially by solar energy, utilizing photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electrical energy. This energy is stored in batteries and used to run an electric motor that drives the vehicle. Solar cars are designed to be lightweight, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly. They represent a significant […]
An electric bicycle, often referred to as an e-bike, is a bicycle that is equipped with an integrated electric motor and battery system designed to assist with propulsion. E-bikes maintain the general functionality of traditional bicycles, allowing the rider to pedal and use gears, but with the added benefit of electrical assistance. The motor provides
An Electrical Drive is an electromechanical device that uses electrical energy to produce mechanical motion. It consists of a motor, a control system, and other components that work together to regulate and control the speed, torque, and position of the motor. Electrical drives are used in various applications ranging from household appliances to industrial machinery.
Energy-efficient motors are advanced electric motors designed to utilize electrical energy more effectively, reducing energy losses caused by heat, friction, and inefficiencies. These motors meet or exceed international efficiency standards, such as NEMA Premium and IEC standards, ensuring optimized performance and minimal energy consumption.
When the transformer is on load, the secondary winding is connected with load as in figure (1) and current I2 is flowing through load. Operation of Transformer On load Figure (1) shows a transformer with a load connected across the secondary winding. The load current I2 flowing through the secondary turns sets up its own
