ydeepak297@gmail.com Gas Filled Incandescent Lamp : Construction : Construction is same as vacuum lamps. Working : A metal filament can work in an evacuated bulb upto 2,000°C without oxidation and if it is worked beyond this temperature it vaporizes quickly and blackens the lamp. For higher efficiency it is necessary to use … Read more
Types of Lamps : There are various types of lamps used in lighting (illumination system). The lamps can be listed as below :(1) Incandescent lamp : (a) Vacuum lamps (Filament lamp) (b) Gas filled incandescent lamp (2) Arc lamps : (a) D.C. Carbon arc lamp. (b) A.C. carbon … Read more
Extra High Voltage Direct Current Transmission System A high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission system uses direct current for the bulk transmission of electrical power. The above figure shows the simple block diagram of HVDC system. Generated voltage is stepped up with the help of step up transformer and then converted in to DC … Read more
Incandescent Lamp (a) Vacuum Lamps / Filament Lamps : These lamps can operate upto the temperature of 2000°C. The construction is shown in the Figure (A) The filaments used for this type of lamp are carbon, osmium, tantalum or tungsten. Tungsten is best of all. The filament materials have the properties: High melting point. Low … Read more
HRC Fuse (High Rupturing Capacity Fuse) HRC means “High Rupture Capacity”. The rupture capacity is the maximum current that can safely be interrupted by the fuse. A fuse is designed to melt and break the circuit if a preset “trip current” is exceeded. However, most fuses not designated HRC can only reliably break up to … Read more
Explain importance and purpose of earthing. To save human life from shock due to current leakage of installation. To protect large buildings from lightening fall. To isolate the faulty, section. This is achieved by providing path of leakage current through earthing system at this instant protective gearing operates. To protect installed machines fed from O.H. … Read more
