what is the difference between induction and synchronous
motor?explain in simple words?why 3 phase motor is given
preference over single phase motor.

Answer Posted / mohammed subhi assaf

Synchronous motor : doubly excited (DC to the rotor , AC to the stator), not self starting , high PF (used as capacitor bank) , unity or leading PF , high efficiency (low inrush current) , Shorter operational life compared to the induction motor (brushes).

Induction motor : singly excited (AC to the stator), self starting , low PF , lagging PF , low efficiency (high inrush current) , longer operational life compared to the Synchronous motor (no brushes).

What is the ratio of Booster transformer?

1653


current transformer balance the power level on both sides. e.g in case of step up, at secondary side voltage rise but current decrease and vice versa in case of step down transformer. but how this power level remains same in case of current transformer and voltage transformer

for 100 HP Induction motor service factor is 1.2(SF) we placed a VFD at the motor side load is balance with 0.3 Amp's Phase to Phase but at incoming of VFD load is un-balance with 10 to 20 Amp's what will be cause of load un balance
