CAPACITOR

Capacitor:

Capacitor is similar to that of a battery.
Both the devices are used to store the energy but capacitor is mostly used than a battery as it is apt for many circuit designs.
It stores energy in the form of electrostatic charge.The capacitor consists of two metal plates which are separated by a dielectric material.
Capacitors
The smaller the distance between the plates the greater will be its capacitance.
There are almost 5 types of capacitors
  • Variable capacitor
  • Ceramic capacitor
  • Paper capacitor
  • Mica capacitor
  • Electrolytic capacitor
The difference between a battery and capacitor is that,the way they store energy and the way they deliver the energy are different when compared with each other.

GENERATOR

GENERATOR: A Generator is a machine which converts Mechanical energy into Electrical energy.These are widely used inside the Power plants for the generation of Power. Generator In general the Generator we see in a Thermal power plant gains its mechanical energy from the Turbine connected to it and this mechanical energy is thus converted into the required Electrical energy by the Generator.I myself  experienced a 15 days of internship in a Thermal power plant and the Generator was about the size of a lager hall both in its length and breadth and the output Electrical energy is thus achieved by the use of a Generator.

SWITCHING TRANSIENTS IN TRANSFORMER

Switching Transients: The word Transients is always very Scary for me but not any more hahaaa...........what about you???? Well coming to the point...why do these Switching Transients occur in a Transformer. When the switch is closed when the voltage is maximum...then the flux required by the core is zero and the available flux in the core is also zero and hence NORMAL OPERATION is sufficient When the switch is closed when the voltage is crossing zero...then the flux required by the core is maximum but here the avaliable flux in the core is zero and hence TRANSIENT OPERATION is required Here when the Transient operation takes place then the flux doubles gradually and this is known as Doubling Effect of Transformer.This Doubling Effect causes magnetic in rush current and Damage in the insulation. Using Secondary Harmonic Restraining Coil can reduce all these Drawbacks.
