Electric Power Transformer Engineering





Covering the fundamental theory of electric power transformers, this book provides the background required to understand the basic operation of electromagnetic induction as applied to transformers. The book is divided into three fundamental groupings: one stand-alone chapter is devoted to Theory and Principles, nine chapters individually treat major transformer types, and fourteen chapters cover many ancillary topics associated with power transformers. Throughout the book, tables, charts, photographs, and equations describe the operation and performance of power transformers and facilitate the reader's understanding of the technical materia

Electrical Measurement, Signal Processing, and Displays


The CRC Principles and Applications in Engineering series is a library of convenient, economical references sharply focused on particular engineering topics and subspecialties. Each volume in the series comprises chapters carefully selected from CRC's bestselling handbooks, logically organized for optimum convenience, and thoughtfully priced to fit every budget.
Electrical Measurement, Signal Processing, and Displays describes the use of instruments and techniques for practical measurement of electromagnetic variables, signal processing equipment and parameters, and various types of displays, from cathode ray tubes to LED devices. For this volume, chapters relevant to these topics were culled from the bestselling Measurement, Instrumentation, and Sensors Handbook and revised by their original authors to bring them thoroughly up to date.
This is a concise, well-illustrated, and highly practical reference. It sets forth the principles, formulas, and equations engineers and scientists need for solving the instrumentation and measurement questions they encounter in practice, particularly when problems arise in areas outside their own specialties.
*Chapters logically organized by measurement problem and contributed by an international panel of experts
*Information presented on three levels: basic exposition for newcomers to the field; a detailed discussion and mathematical treatment; and advanced applications, evaluations, and directions for future study
*A full set of references in each chapter

Electric Current and Theory of Electricity

What is Electric Current?

The electric current flows in the circuit if potential difference exist. The potential difference is the pressure that cause flow of charge.The flow of charge lead to flow of electric current in the circuit.

The electric current flows from the higher potential towards the lower potential. If the two points in the circuit is at the same potential, the flow of electric charge is zero hence the current is zero.The magnitude of the current depends on the rate of flow of charge from one point to another point in a given circuit.


The conducting material has large number of free electrons that can be moved from one atom to another atom under application of potential energy.

Unit of Current

The conducting material has large number of free electrons that can be moved from one atom to another atom under application of potential energy.The flow of electric current in a circuit cause by flow of electrons or charge.

The higher the rate of flow of charge, the higher the current. Let q charge flow in t time,

The current in the circuit

I= q/t

In differential form,

I= dq/dt

Electric current is the ratio of charge transferred in a given period of the time. If one coulomb of charge is transferred in one second from one point to another in the circuit is called the one unit current. The unit of electric current is coulomb per second.This is also known as ampere after the name of physicist Andrew Marie Ampere. The SI unit of  electric current is Ampere.

How current flows in a circuit?



In metal, free electrons are available which moves randomly.When the metal is connected to a supply source,the source electron repels the electrons of the metal towards the higher potential of the supply source and all the electrons are drifted  to the positive point of the supply source which is at the higher potential.. The flow of electron cause current to flow in the circuit.

The flow of the electric current was previously thought was because of positive charge. Now it has proved that flow of the electric current is caused by drifting of electrons from the lower to higher potential point.The flow of current caused by external field is also known as a drift current.

The direction of the flow of electric current is opposite of the direction of flow of electrons.The current flows from the higher to lower potential point is known as conventional direction of current.

Types of current

Direct current  




When the current flows in one direction is called the unidirectional or direct current(DC).

Alternating current  





When the current flows in positive and negative direction alternatively in a cycle is called alternating or AC current.


Heating Effect of Current

When the current flows in a circuit having resistance, the heat is dissipated in the resistance. The heat produced in the circuit can be expressed as;



Where,

I = Current in ampere
R = Resistance in Ohms
t   = Time in Seconds


This is known as Joule's Law of heating.

Magnetic Effect of Current

Magnetic field is set up around the current carrying conductor. The direction of the magnetic field can be found with the right Hand rule.

If a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field the conductor experience a force.The magnitude of the force depends on the magnitude of the current through the conductor and on the  strength of  the magnetic field.The Direction of the force can be found by Fleming's Left Hand Rule.

The magnitude of the force can be expressed as;

F= BILSinθ
