MANAGING YOUR EXPECTATIONS

Before we start, let us first manage your expections regarding the understanding of Power System's Loss. We will begin by going back to basics, since we are not all on the same page yet. We will be leveling up the playing field by discussing first the very basic of all electrical principles. Yes! you heard me right, this is somewhat necessary since the very roots of System's loss in Power System are found in the most primitive informations. Once we start greasing up the engine, we will then discuss all the things you need to know about System's Loss in a Power System especially in Transmission and Distribution Utility.

Let me clear things up first before we proceed, we want to remind you always that this is not your typical classroom instruction learning. We encourage you to participate and be involved by giving us your comments and suggestions. By that way, we can all learn more, and when we learn more, we progress.

PARTS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER

What are the name of the basic parts of a Power Transformer? We can not deny the fact that only a handful of electrical engineering students are presently familiar with power transformers especially on what it looks like. Unlike a transformer we found in our homes, a power transformer’s appearance and construction is somewhat more complicated. It is not just a simple winding with a primary and secondary terminal although basically any transformer has one. The function that a power transformer plays in an electrical system is very important that an electric utility can not afford to loss it during its operation. Our discussion here will focus more on the basic parts and functions of a power transformer that are usually tangible whenever you go to a substation . Although not all power transformers are identical, nonetheless they all have the following listed parts in which the way of construction may differ.

ELECTRIC MOTOR NAMEPLATE SPECIFICATIONS

How do we interpret an electric motor nameplate? Motor standards are established on a country by country basis.Fortunately though, the standards can be grouped into two major categories: NEMA and IEC (and its derivatives). In North America, the National Electric Manufacturers Association (NEMA) sets motor standards, including what should go on the nameplate (NEMA Standard MG 1-10.40 "Nameplate Marking for Medium Single-Phase and Polyphase Induction Motors").

DISADVANTAGES OF Y-Y CONNECTION IN THREE PHASE SYSTEM

What are the disadvantages in using y-y connection? The Y-Y transformer connection was poorly understood in the early days of power engineering and it received a very bad reputation when it was first used; in fact, this connection was avoided for a long time until its limitations were overcome by good engineering practice. Some of the inherent disadvantages of the Y-Y connection are discussed below:
