There is the connection scheme of a residual current device (RCD). The principle of operation: Under normal conditions, the current from L to N flows through the coils of RCD. The net magnetic flux in the circular core is zero, which results no current in the sensing coil. If any fault bypasses the coils, then the net magnetic flux is nonzero and a current is induced in the sensing coil. This makes the relay opens the switch. Let the source be 220V and the current through the load be 1 A. At some time, the test button becomes on and a current of 25 mA flows through the test button. i) Find the resistance through the test button and the load. ii) Does RCD opens the circuit if it operates for a differential current lager than 30 mA? Note: Assume that the coils on the circular core has zero resistance
Synchronous Generator
In comparison to an asynchronous generator, it is a machine where the rotor speed is equal to the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator, i.e., mechanical speed is equal to the electrical speed, thus called synchronous, and not asynchronous.
Salient Pole Rotor
Salient pole rotor includes a large number of exposed poles mounted on a magnetic wheel. The construction of a bright pole is as shown in the image on the left. The proposed poles are made of metal laminations. The rotor winding is provided on these poles and is supported by pole shoes.
