Definition for a harmonic is-a sinusoidal component of a periodic wave or quantity having a
frequency that is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.
The main sources of harmonic component are the phase angle controlled rectifiers and inverters
due to the fast switching action and firing scheme.
Filters are used to eliminate these harmonics as they may cause overheating of capacitors and
nearby generators and interfere with telecommunication systems.
When the mechanical load is constant, the rotor settles down to an absolutely constant speed with
the torque angle fixed by the particular delivered power.
When there is a change in load the rotor speed changes momentarily until the torque angle
adjusts itself to the new power.
If the load increases, the rotor slips backwards to an increased torque angle, while reduction
causes the rotor to advance a smaller torque angle.
Due to the M.I of the rotor either it overshoots or undershoots the mean position.
During this overshooting and undershooting some K.E. is stored in the rotor which causes
oscillation of the rotor periodically.
This rapid forward and backward motion of the rotor as it resolves at the average constant speed
is called HUNTING.
DISADVANTAGES:
In order to prevent hunting, dampers (or) damping grids are employed. Damper windings are
short circuited; copper bars are embedded in the faces of the field poles of the motor.
Question: what is "p.u." in electrical engg and what is the advantage of p.u. quantities?
Answer: p.u. stands for per unit (p.u=actual value/base value).
Advantages:
Question: why, when birds sit on transmission lines doesn't get shock?
Answer: It’s true that if birds touch the single one line (phase or neutral) they don't get electrical
shock... if birds touch 2 lines than the circuit is closed and they get electrical shock... so if a
human being touches single one line (phase) then he doesn't get shock .if he is standing on the
ground then touching the line (phase) he will get a shock because the ground on what we are
standing is like line (ground bed - like neutral) that means that human who touches the line
closes the circuit between phase and neutral.
Question: what is ACSR cable?
Answer: ACSR means Aluminum conductor, steel reinforced, e.g. 7/24 ACSR conductor has 7
steel strands forming a central core, around which there are two layers of aluminum strands(24).
