Skineffect


Skineffect

The steady direct current while flowing through a conductor distributes itself over the whole                       X-section  of the conductor but ac tends to consentrate near the surface . in ac systems no current flows  through the core and  the entire current is concentrate at  the surface. This phenomenon is called  skin effect.

What is the Difference between KW and KVA?

What is the Difference between KW and KVA? Electrical utility companies provide volt-amperes to customers, but bill them for watts. Understanding this concept will help you better understand many of the decisions made by project owners and electrical engineers. Since the Power Law shown above lists Watts = Volts x Amps, you may think that the number of volt-amperes should be the same as the number of watts. After all, that's what the Power Law equation states. And it's true when the load is resistive, say an electrical heating element that uses all the power that is delivered to it by changing the electrical energy into heat energy. A motor or a fluorescent light, on the other hand, are reactive loads in that part of the electrical power that goes to them gets absorbed, then returned to the circuit without being used. The reactive portion of the load dissipates no power. Let's look at it a different way. When trying to understand generators that are specified for a p...
