There are many ways to measurement of a physical quantity. While the selection of transducers, and how to select a transducer for a particular application, the following points should be kept in the mind. Unfortunately, most transducers are not sensitive to just one quantity. If measurements are to be made under conditions where there is a likelihood of two or […]
Hi friends, In this article, I am going to discuss the thermocouple instrument working principle, its types and applications. So let us start with our topic. When two metals of different work functions are placed together, a voltage is generated at the junction. This generated voltage is proportional to the temperature and this junction is known as
Hi friends, In this article, I am providing you some basic information about Brushless DC motor i.e. BLDC motor. With the help of this information you can easily understand the BLDC motor working principle and operation. The torque-speed characteristics and the flexibility of the dc motor have made it a very attractive choice for applications
The most common schemes employed for the protection of a three-phase generator stator windings from earth faults phase-to-phase faults make use of circulating current principle. In these protection schemes, currents at the two ends of the protected section are compared. Under normal conditions, these currents are equal became different on the occurrence of a fault in

In this system, a delta/star-connected transformer is used. Three wires are taken from the phases and the fourth wire (i.e. neutral wire) is taken from the star point. If the voltage of each phase conductor to neutral is V then line to line voltage between the phases will be √3V. The 3 phase 4 wire
Hi friends, In this article, I am discussing the moving coil galvanometer working principle, its construction and conversion into voltmeter and ammeter. So let us start our topic. A moving coil galvanometer is an easy and sensitive instrument to detect and measure electric current. Galvanometer Working Principle The working principle of galvanometer is based upon the
The Kirchhoff’s Laws are very useful in solving electrical networks which may not be easily solved by Ohm’s Law. In this article, I will describe these laws and will show some of Kirchhoff’s voltage law examples to make these laws easily understandable. Kirchhoff’s Laws, two in number, are as follows: Kirchhoff’s Current Law: This law
Hi friends, in this article, I am going to explain the electroplating process steps and hope you will find it very informative and interesting. The electroplating is an art of depositing a superior or more noble metal on a base metal by means of electrolysis. For example, metals like iron are coated with deposits of nickel or
A transistor can also act as a switch and can turn ON and OFF power in an electrical load. The action of the transistor, while using a transistor as a switch is explained below: Switching Action of a Transistor To understand the switching action of a transistor in detail, consider the collector characteristics for a
Hi friends, in this article, I am going to describe the linear induction motor working principle. This article will provide you answers of various questions about the LIM. A linear induction motor is a developed version of cylindrical induction motor. It is special type of induction motor which gives linear motion instead of rotational motion
