Linear induction motor, Moving Secondary Fixed Primary Single Sided LIM

Moving Secondary Fixed Primary Single Sided Linear Induction Motor As from the name suggests, in this type of linear motor the secondary is moving and the primary is fixed as shown in the Figure The operating principle is same as that of that the above Moving Primary Fixed Secondary Single Sided LIM. The only difference is … Read more

LEM Propelled Traction

LEM Propelled Traction A Linear induction asynchronous linear induction motor that works on the same principle as that of other conventional induction motor but it is typically designed to directly produce motion in a straight (Linear) direction. Electric Motor (LEM) is an Whenever there is a relative motion between the field and the short circuited … Read more

Induction Motor Operating as a Generator

Induction Motor Operating as a Generator When run faster than its synchronous speed, an induction motor runs as a generator called a Induction generator. It converts the mechanical energy it receives into electrical energy and this energy is released by the stator (Figure 2). (Figure 1) shows an ordinary squirrel-cage motor which is driven by … Read more

What is Potential Transformers (PT), CT and PT Connection with Wattmeter

Potential Transformers These transformers are extremely accurate-ratio step-down transformers and are used in conjunction with standard low-range voltmeters (usually 150-V) whose deflection when divided by voltage transformation ratio, gives the true voltage on the high voltage side. In general, they are of the shell-type and do not differ much from the ordinary two-winding transformers discussed … Read more
