Difference between Short circuit and overload
Short Circuit A short circuit occurs when two or more current-carrying conductors of different phases or different voltage levels or different terminal (in DC circuits) come in contact with each…
Power Factor – Definition, Importance, Calculation and Correction techniques
In an AC power system, the power factor is a very important parameter that defines how efficiently electrical power is being utilized by the load. It is a rational number…
What is ammeter selector switch?
Ammeter selector switch is basically a normal three position switch. In large Electrical distribution panels, an ammeter is used to monitor the current through each line. (more…)
