Merz Price Differential Protection of Alternator. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about Merz price differential protection of alternator.
So, without wasting any time lets get started.

  • Currents at the two ends of the protected section are compared in this scheme of differential protection of alternators.
  • under the normal operating conditions, these currents are equal. But when a fault occurs in the protected section these currents become unequal.
  • The most common system which is used for the protection of the stator winding faults employs circulating-current principle.
  • Phase to phase fault and phase to earth fault, these are the two types of faults which occur in an alternator stator. 
  • And through the operating coil of the relay, the difference of the currents under fault conditions is arranged to pass.
  • And after this, the relay closes its contact to isolate its protected section. Or we can say to isolate its healthy section from the faulty section.
  • And this form of protection is also known as Merz- price circulating current scheme. 
  • The most severe outcome of fault for an alternator is the damage of stator.

Impulse turbine simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to understand about Impulse turbine. So, without wasting any time lets get started. In an impulse turbine, we are generating power by making the use of high-speed water jet impact. once, we have high-speed water jet, we can use its impact to rotate a turbine. In impulse turbine potential energy of the water is converted into kinetic energy by passing it through a nozzle. Impulse turbine is totally remain dipped in water. We can say that the impulse turbine uses Newton's second law of motion as it totally depends on two main factors i.e, the mass of water which was flowing into the turbine and change in the velocity of the flow coming into the turbine to that of going out of turbine after impact.                                 As with a considerable decrement in the velocity, the mass of water entering into the turbine is same as that of mass coming out of t...

NBFM & WBFM (Narrow band frequency modulation & Wide band frequency modulation) simple explanation. By Yuvi - Study Point

Hey everyone, today we are going to learn about NBFM & WBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation & Wideband frequency modulation) in simple or easy way. So, without wasting any time lets get started. The information about NBFM & WBFM When the spectrum's efficiency is important or it is required then we use NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) is used.  But when better signal quality is required or when it is important then we use WBFM (Wideband frequency modulation). The term NBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is less than or equal to 1. And the term WBFM is used for those applications where the modulation index is greater than or equal to 1. Now, let's see more difference between Narrow band frequency modulation(NBFM) and Wideband frequency modulation(WBFM). The term narrow-band and wide-band refer to the actual radio channel bandwidth. The purpose or advantage of using NBFM (Narrowband frequency modulation) The purpo...

Ohm's law simple learning BY Yuvi - Study Point

Hey guys, have you ever heard about Ohm's law, ok so I will teach you in an easy way. So let's get started. It is the basic rule of electricity and it explains the relationship between voltage, electric current & resistance. Ohm's law states that the electric current which is flowing through a circuit or conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. In other words, if resistance is not changed then the electric current flowing through a conductor will increase with the increase in voltage. And if the voltage is not changed then the electric current which is flowing through a conductor decreases with the increase in resistance.    Ohm's law formulas, V = I * R R = V / I I = V / R Ohm's law states that Resistance (R) of the conductor is constant. [*Note = But research shows that the resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the cross-sec...
