What is Shaded Pole Induction Motor? Working Principle, Diagram & Applications

Shaded pole induction motor is more or less similar to single-phase induction motor. The stator poles of this motor are wound only with main winding, so as to make them electromagnets. The pole has a slot cut at one third for one end for housing high reactance but low resistance copper bars enclosing a part

Open Circuit and Short Circuit Test on Transformer – Experimental Set-up & Procedure

The Open Circuit and Short Circuit Test on Transformer can be used to determine the efficiency and regulation of a transformer at any predetermined load for that we do not have to actually load the transformer. The parameters of the equivalent circuit of a transformer can be obtained by using the open circuit (O.C.) test

What is Permanent Magnet DC Motor (PMDC Motor)? Construction, Diagram & Applications

Permanent magnet motors are similar to conventional DC motors except the use of permanent magnet to produce flux instead of field winding. The use of high energy permanent magnet in the motors which advances in the field for the purpose of simplicity and low initial cost has led to the formation of new class of

What is Plugging Braking? Connection Diagram & Working

Plugging is the simplest type of braking which involves re-connection of motor to supply in such a way that motor develops torque in opposite direction to the movement of rotor system, speed will decrease till zero speed is reached where mechanical brakes are applied and then it will accelerate in opposite direction. This method is

What is a Current Transformer (CT)? Working Principle, Connection Diagram, Construction & Advantages

A current transformer (CT) is nothing but a coil wound on a toroidal core. When a large current carried by a conductor is to be measured, it is advisable to avoid the direct connection of ammeter in this high current circuit. For this purpose a current transformer is used. Fig. 1 : Connection of Current
