Why is armature of alternator connected in Star not in Delta?


The alternator armature winding must be protected for earth fault. The earth fault protection scheme for alternator whose armature winding is connected in delta is more complicated as neutral is not available in the case of delta connected srmature. An open delta transformer is required to be installed for detecting the earth fault in the delta connected armature winding.
For star connected armature, the neutral is formed where one end of all the three winding are connected. The neutral point is connected to the neutral ground resistor. Under balanced load condition, when current in all the phases are equal, no current flows through the neutral.

In case of unbalance in the phases current, the unbalance current flows from neutral to earth through a neutral grounding resistor.The CT mounted for measuring the current flowing from the neutral to earth point senses the current under earth fault condition, and the earth fault relay gets tripped with earth fault. Moreover, the neutral grounding resistor limits the fault current to rated current of the alternator.

If the alternator armature is star connected it is easy to form the neutral and the single phase supply can be easily obtained. In case of delta connected armature, to derive the single phase supply a transformer of vector group Dyn11 needs to be installed for single phase supply.
If the armature of an alternator is connected in delta, the line voltage appears across the armature winding.

Therefore, more insulation is required for armature winding. If armature is connected in star, the voltage across the armature winding is 58 % of the line voltage and, thus requires less winding insulation.
The insulation requirement with star connected armature gets reduced by 42 % in comparison to the delta connected armature winding.

To summarize, the reasons of  armature connection of alternator in star are follows.

1.   In star connection, neutral is formed which can be used        for deriving the single phase supply. Also, the neutral 
      facilitates ground fault protection of the alternator.

2.   In star connection, the phase to neutral voltage is about
      58 % of the phase to phase or line voltage.Thus, the 
      insulation requirement reduces by 42%. The number of
      turns also gets reduced by 42 % of the number of turns
      in  delta connection.

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioperasikan pada tempat yang tidak terdapat sumber listrik PLN ata

Testhead

4.3         Testhead The testhead is that portion of the tester that supports the PIN, ASRU and Controller cards.   The testhead is divided into two BANKS and each BANK is divided into two MODULES, see figure 2 below.  Bank 1 contains modules 0 and 1, bank 2 contains modules 2 and 3.  The test fixtures are placed on the banks of the tester and locked down for board testing.  The testhead cards interface to the test fixture through the spring loaded pogo pin “nails” at the top edge on each of these card types. 4.4       Support Bay The support bay is a stand-alone cabinet that houses the power supplies for the Unit Under Test.  This bay also houses the test station power distribution unit and test station controller on earlier models. 4.5       Emergency Shutdown Switch The emergency shutdown switch is the large red button located at the lower left corner on the front of the testhead.  It turns off all AC power to the testhead, and is equivalent to turning off the m

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah tanah adalah
