Oil Circuit Breaker
What is an Oil Circuit Breaker? The oil circuit breaker has an insulating oil which is used as an arc quenching medium for arc extinction. Oil has better insulating property than air. It consists of […]
Vacuum Circuit Breaker
The vacuum circuit breaker (also known as vacuum interrupter or VCB) uses the arc quenching process in the vacuum as a switching medium. The vacuum has the highest insulating strength. So, it has far superior […]
Difference Between Fuse and Circuit Breaker
The fuse and circuit breaker are circuit protection devices used to protect the system from over-current conditions in power system industries. Both do the same but differs from their various characteristics and working principle. Let’s […]
Circuit Breaker
By definition, a Circuit breaker is a mechanical device that isolates the faulty system from a healthy system of the power system by opening or closing the circuit. There are different types of circuit breakers […]
A Tiny Task Light
Ever wondered how to build a multimode task light, and how to use a single button switch to change the mode of brightness? I too was curious about it so I studied many things about […]
Analog Optical Isolators – Playtime!
I’ve been asked if I could post a little primer on key components widely used in guitar electronics and special-effect units. While there’re no solid plans to do so yet, I was thinking about what […]
Difference Between Moving Iron and Moving Coil Meter
The difference between Moving iron meter and Moving coil meter is, moving iron meter operates on electromagnetic principle. Whereas, moving coil meter works on DC motor principle. Moving Iron meter measures DC current, AC current, […]
Moving Coil Meter
Moving Coil Meter is a widely used measuring instrument because of its accuracy and sensitivity. These instruments are directional and they can be used for DC measurements. This device can be used as an ammeter, […]
Moving Iron Instrument
Moving iron Instrument or Moving iron meter is used to measure the current and voltage of AC and DC. They are non-directional. The working principle depends upon the movement of iron attracted by the magnetic […]
Types of Electrical and Electronic Instruments
In Electronics, there are different types of electrical and electronic instruments that can indicate or records some physical values that are said to be called meters. A Meter is an instrument or a device that […]
