Illumination Levels for Domestic Lighting, Residential Lighting

Residential Lighting (Illumination) : A residential lighting system is not same as a commercial lighting system. From design and product selection to installation, there are several factors that distinguish the two types of lighting systems. When planning the lighting design, it is necessary to understand the difference to avoid the wrong application and an inefficient … Read more

Advantages of Three Phase Transformer over Single Phase Transformer

Three Phase Transformer Generally, electrical energy is generated in generating stations by 3-phase alternators. 3-phase system is used for transmission and distribution of Electric-energy. For stepping down or stepping up the voltage of these systems, 3-phase transformers are used. Advantages of 3-Phase Transformer over 1-Phase Transformer (For Same Capacity) Q. State the advantages of three … Read more

Pulse Transformer Working, Important Parameters, Advantages and Application

Pulse Transformer For coupling square wave or a pulse from primary to secondary the conventional transformer need change of shape of signal. Pulse transformer is a transformer which is designed to couple pulses from primary to the load connected to secondary without changing the shape of the pulse. Pulse transformers are used for coupling pulses … Read more

High Frequency Transformers (Audio Frequency Transformer and Intermediate Frequency Transformer)

High Frequency Transformers In this category we study (1) Audio frequency (AF) transformer (2) Intermediate frequency (IF) transformer. (1) Audio Frequency (AF) Transformer Audio frequency range is 20 Hz to 20 kHz These transformers are especially designed for connecting different telephone systems to each other keeping their respective power supplies ‘isolated’. Following are the functions … Read more
