What happens if load increases when the generation is constant?

Mayilsamy Kasipandi

• Jul 11th, 2017

Load increases when power is constant - Result voltage drop depending upon the load

Ravi

• Mar 7th, 2017

The excess load draws more current from source. since the the power is constant in source side, voltage on load side drops and losses are more and power factor reduced.

How is UPF Wattmeter different from LPF Wattmeter?

Siva

• Apr 21st, 2017

LPF Watt meters are specially designed to measure the power at low power factor (inductive circuits).

UPF type Watt meters are not so accurate in measuring power at low factor (resistive circuits).

sharath

• Oct 28th, 2011

LPF watt meter is used for measuring power in highly inductive circuits & UPF watt meter is used for measure power in resistance circuit in which the power factor ranges from 0.5 to unity.

What is the difference between half controlled and full controlled rectifier? Why we go for full controlled while half controlled can control voltage?

k.r.kartheeswari

• Apr 10th, 2017

In Half controlled rectifiers, the controlled output will be in one half cycle, so the efficiency is less. But in full controlled rectifies, the controlled output will be in both the half cycle since both the sides having SCRs. So efficiency also doubled compared to half controlled.

When DC is applied, Transformer goes in to saturation, What happens if DC Pulses are applied, will this be safe? Will it act as transformer?

Pradeep Mewara

• Mar 29th, 2017

If we apply DC to the transformer, the nature of DC is constant magnitude so constant flux generate in primary winding there is no change in flux so EMF will not induce excepting when switch ON and switch OFF. If DC is continually supplied to the primary it will burn.

Ravi
