what is the principle of operation of tungstun bulb ??

Answer Posted / dilli babu

tungstun having high resistance.In tungstun bulb the tungstun is made into a conductor of very small area of cross section. due to the small are of cross section, the resistance will be increased. that too that small conductor is made into a small spiral to increase the length of conductor.

Whenever the cuurrent flows through the conductor there will be a eddy current loss. this eddy current loss dissipated in the form of heat. Due to the low area of cross section in the tungtun filament resistance is high. So the flow of the current is opposed and the eddy current also increased. So the filament becomes heat and the heat leads to gives the illumination.

A 15 kw squirrel cage motor having a maximum efficiency of 90% on a continuous full load has temperature rise of 42 degrees celcius after 30 min and 52 degrees celcius after 1 hr under the above operation conditions. a) calculate its final steady state temperature rise on continuous load and the heating time constatnt. b) if the motor is operated on a short load for 9 min estimate its temperature rise. c) calculate the maximum overload that can be applied on a short, 9 min rating so that the temperature rise is the same as the final steady state temperature rise on continuous load.
