What is squirrel cage rotor
In this type of rotor, the rotor drum is provided with a number of circular holes, which are parallel to the shaft. Solid copper or aluminium bars are placed in these holes and all bars are welded
Working principle of sodium vapour lamp
Scientists have long been familiar with fact high luminous efficiency could be obtained by the use of sodium resistant glass, the sodium vapour lamp has now reached the practical stage. Working and construction Principally the sodium vapour
What is wound rotor induction motor
The rotor windings are star-connected like a three-phase star connected transformer. Rotor winding is present inside rotor drum. Rotor drum is placed on the motor shaft. Motor shaft carries three slip rings which are circular in shape
Why is single phase induction motor not self-starting?
When single-phase AC supply is given to stator winding. It produces alternating flux.i.e. which alternates along one space axis only. It is not synchronously revolving (or rotating) flux, as in case of 3 phase stator winding, the
What is split phase induction motor
Split phase inductions motor: resistance star induction run Two winding are connected in parallel to supply to make 1 phase induction motor self-starting. One is main winding and other is staring winding. both these winding are 900
How to use the digital plannimeter to find area of an irregular ?
Preparation: paste or fix the drawing paper containing area on a drawing board. Place the roller at the positioning which will make a right with the main body. By tracing the outline of the fig. if any
What is modern survey method
