1.6 inches = 1.6 inches x 1,000 mils per inch = 1,600 mils 0.25 inch = 0.25 inch x 1,000 mils per inch = 250 mils Area = 1,600 x 250 = 400,000 square mils
Die-electric test on Circuit breaker: These tests are performed to check power frequency and impulse voltage withstand capacity. Power frequency tests are kept on a new circuit breaker, the test voltage changes with a circuit breaker rated voltage. In impulse tests, impulse voltage of particular value is employed to the breaker.
The speed regulation of a motor expresses how much its speed varies between no-load and full load. The synchronous motor runs at a constant speed whose magnitude is dependent on supply frequency and the number of poles. Since the speed of the motor is constant hence its speed regulation is zero. Under no-load conditions with normal excitation, armature current Ia drawn by a synchronous motor lags the applied voltage V by a small angle.
Dielectric faults occur in the winding due to turn-to-turn insulation breakdown. It is the insulation between the turns of the winding. Insulation breakdown commonly occurs due to high current and voltage which are high above the rated values. The breakdown of the insulation results in the flashover of the winding turns and cause a short circuit.
Deterioration of oil may occur due to the result of prolonged overloading of the transformer. Excessive oil temperature produces the formation of sludge, water, and acids. Moisture entering the oil as a result of the breathing action greatly reduces its dielectric strength so that breakdown from coils or terminal leads to tank or core structure may take place.
