what is the difference between AC choke (inductor) and DC
choke (inductor), working and design point of view?

Answer Posted / eqbal_asif123

choke:

A power-supply filter whose inductance is used to limit the
flow of AC while allowing the flow of DC. Chokes naturally
maintain a more constant flow of current. Output voltages
do not rise as high as they would without this inductor in
the circuit; neither does it drop as low when compared to a
capacitor input filter circuit. Chokes hold the variation
of output voltage (ripple) to a relatively small value.

coil:

A number of turns of insulated wire wound around a form of
insulating material which may or may not include an iron
core. Some coils are rigid enough to be self-supporting and
do not require a winding form and/or a core to secure it. A
coil is also known as an inductor. Inductors possess the
property of having considerable opposition to the flow of
AC while allowing DC to pass through the flow.

There is nothing like AC or DC chokes.

If i have two 3000 kW motors and the whole facility requires a 10 MVA transformer. What would be better installing two 5 MVA transformers(one for 1 motor ) or just a single 10 MVA transformer for both of them. Give reasons for your answer.

Hi Suppose we have a wye/wye transformer which is grounded at both sides,in this situation, do we have ay ground transformer? in other words, ground transformer can do any thing more (while we have nuetral wire in both sides)? As the last question, what about 3rd harmonic? we have two choices: first using wye/delta transformer + ground transformer and second using wye/wye earthed connection.in the former choice, we dont have 3rd harmoonic at the secondary side but what about Yn/yn conection? do we suffer from 3rd harmonic in the Yn/yn connection?
