thermal overload relays

Why is both RTD temperature and thermal overload protection needed?

Although both methods give protection against overload and thermal rise, both have their own pros and cons. Especially with the important objects, both methods are used because they complement each other. RTD basics We know metal has the property of varying resistivity with respect to temperature. This relationship is linear for some metals, over wide temperature […]

Three Phase Transformer

Three Phase Transformers Basics

A three-phase transformer is used to generate and transmit a large amount of power. Three-phase step up and step down transformers are basically used in various fields in the power system network. A transformer can be formed by joining three separate single-phase winding in a suitable way. Such an arrangement is called 3-phase bank of
