You have been asked to investigate the loading effects on an alternator supplying a load and also charging a car battery at the same time. The output of the alternator has been rectified to smooth dc, and the circuit is shown below.   Using Kirchhoff analysis, determine the initial current in each section along with its direction and the potential difference across the load.

Q: What is the load factor? What happens when load factor = 1?

A:

Q: In U.S. residences, electrical power is generally utilized at a nominal voltage of 120 V rms. What…

A: If the electrical grid is designed for voltage 12 V rms, the power supply would be made difficult.…

Q: What is practical application of PWM?

A: PWM stands for pulse width modulation.  In this the signal is varied by varying the width of the…

Q: Your company is to supply a 50 Hz alternator to a European company. The stator is wye connected with…

A: Given:- f=50 Hzϕ=0.173 weberT=28 turns

Single Phase Induction Motor

The single-phase induction motor or engine consists of a single rotating phase in the stator and a rotating cage in the rotor. When phase one supply is connected to the stator winding, a magnetic field is generated. In the pulsating field, the rotor does not rotate due to inertia. So, a single-phase import motor does not start and requires some initial methods.
