Electrical Drives and Controls An electric motor is a device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. It can also be viewed as a device which transfers energy from an electrical source to a mechanical load. The system in which the motor is located and makes it spin is called the drive, and is also …
Read MoreIndustrial Electrical Control Panels A control panel is normally a flat, vertical apparatus where the devices to carry-out control and / or monitoring functions are installed. Industrial control panels are factory-wired assemblies of industrial control equipment, such as motor controllers, switches, relays, and auxiliary devices etc. The panels can include disconnect means and motor branch-circuit …
Read MoreTransformers Transformers are devices which transfer energy from one electrical circuit to another by means of a common magnetic field. In all the cases except auto-transformers, there is no direct electrical connection from one circuit to the other. Transformers are important equipment in power distribution system as well as in power electronic system. They can …
Read MoreElectric Motors for Industry Electrical motor is an electro-mechanical energy conversion device which convert electrical energy to mechanical energy through the action of a magnetic field. It is always advantageous to utilize electrical energy since it is cheaper, can be easily transmitted, easy to control, and very efficient. The electrical energy is normally generated from …

Read MorePiles and Pile Foundation Foundations provide support to the structure and transfer the loads from the structure to the soil. But the layer at which the foundation transfers the load is required to have an adequate bearing capacity and suitable settlement characteristics. There are several types of foundations depending on different considerations such as total …
Read MoreEquipment Foundation Design Heavy equipments with reciprocating, impacting, or rotating masses needs a support system which can resist dynamic forces and the resulting vibrations. When excessive, such vibrations can be detrimental to the equipments, its support system, and any operating personnel subjected to them. The super-structure of vibrating and rotating equipments is known as equipment …
