  Star-Delta connection   Star-Delta connection is a type of three-phase electrical connection used in power transmission and distribution systems. It involves connecting the windings of a three-phase motor or transformer in two different configurations - the star (Y) configuration and the delta (Δ) configuration. In the star configuration, the three windings of the motor or transformer are connected together at a central point, known as the neutral point. Each winding is also connected to one of the three phases of the power supply. In the delta configuration, each winding of the motor or transformer is connected in a loop, with one end connected to the start of the next winding and the other end connected to the end of the previous winding. The star-delta connection allows a motor or transformer to be started with reduced voltage, which can be useful in applications where a high starting current could damage the motor or cause a power outage. During the starting period, the motor is

It is commonly used to monitor the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications such as warfari
  Current transformer (CT) A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that is used to measure the electric current in a circuit. It works by measuring the current in a primary winding and producing a proportional current in a secondary winding, which can be used to measure the current in the circuit. Current transformers are commonly used in electrical power systems to measure the current flowing through high-voltage transmission lines or in electrical distribution systems to measure the current flowing through individual circuits. They are also used in electrical metering applications to measure the power usage of individual customers. Current transformers are designed to be highly accurate and reliable, and they are typically used in conjunction with other electrical measurement and control devices to ensure the safe and efficient operation of electrical power systems.
Integrated Circuit IC stands for Integrated Circuit, which is a miniature electronic circuit that is made up of multiple components such as resistors, capacitors, transistors, and diodes that are etched onto a small piece of semiconductor material (usually silicon). The components are interconnected by thin metal wires and the entire circuit is encapsulated in a small package made of plastic, ceramic, or metal. ICs were first developed in the 1960s and have since become a fundamental building block of modern electronics. They offer several advantages over traditional circuits built using individual components such as smaller size, lower power consumption, greater reliability, and lower cost. ICs are used in a wide range of electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, televisions, and many other consumer electronics products. There are many different types of ICs that are designed for specific applications such as analog circuits, digital circuits,  microprocessors, memory chips,
 Transformer      A transformer is a passive electrical device that is used to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through the process of electromagnetic induction. It consists of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary windings, wrapped around a common magnetic core. When an alternating current (AC) voltage is applied to the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary winding. Transformers are commonly used in power distribution systems to step up or step down the voltage of an alternating current. In step-up transformers, the voltage is increased on the secondary side, which allows power to be transmitted over long distances with less loss due to resistance. In step-down transformers, the voltage is decreased on the secondary side, which is used in power supplies to reduce the voltage from the power source to a level suitable for use in electronic devices. Transformers are also used in audio applications, suc
  LED An LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a type of semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current is passed through it. LEDs are made from a special type of semiconductor material that emits light when electrons move through it. The emitted light is typically monochromatic, meaning it has a specific color determined by the materials used to make the LED. LEDs are commonly used as indicators in electronic devices such as computers, televisions, and other consumer electronics products. They are also used as sources of light in a wide range of applications, including automotive lighting, streetlights, signage, and home and commercial lighting. LEDs are popular for their low power consumption, long life, and high efficiency compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. The color of an LED depends on the materials used to make it. LEDs can emit light in a range of colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, and white. LEDs can also be combined to produce a wide rang
Relay A relay is an electrical component that is used to control the flow of current in a circuit by opening or closing a switch. In sports, a relay race is a track and field event in which athletes take turns running a set distance before passing a baton to their teammate. In telecommunications, a relay is a device that receives and retransmits signals, typically used to extend the range of a signal. In general, the term "relay" can also refer to the act of passing something on or transferring it to someone else. For example, you might "relay" a message from one person to another. In computing, a relay can refer to a network device that forwards data packets between networks. A "relay" can also refer to a mechanism for controlling a high-powered device, such as a motor, using a low-powered signal. There may be other meanings of "relay" depending on the context, but these are some of the most common ones.
resistor   A resistor is an electronic component that is used to limit or control the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is a passive component, which means that it does not generate or amplify electrical signals, but rather opposes the flow of current. The basic function of a resistor is to provide a specific amount of resistance to the flow of current. The resistance of a resistor is measured in ohms (Ω) and is represented by a color code on the body of the resistor. Resistors can be made from a variety of materials, including carbon, metal film, and wire-wound materials. The most common type of resistor is the carbon composition resistor, which is made by mixing carbon and ceramic materials. Resistors are used in a wide variety of electronic circuits for various applications, such as voltage dividers, current limiting, biasing circuits, and signal conditioning. They can also be used in combination with capacitors and inductors to form filters, oscillators, and other complex c
  SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) An SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is a four-layer semiconductor device that acts as a switch, used for controlling high-power circuits in various electronic applications. The SCR can be turned on by applying a small voltage to its gate terminal, which allows a larger current to flow through the device. Once the SCR is turned on, it remains to conduct even after the gate voltage is removed, until the current flowing through it drops below a certain level. The basic structure of an SCR consists of four layers of alternating p-type and n-type semiconductor materials. The gate terminal is connected to the middle layer of the SCR, which acts as a control electrode. The anode (positive terminal) is connected to one end of the SCR, and the cathode (negative terminal) is connected to the other end. When a voltage is applied across the anode and cathode, no current flows through the SCR, as it is in a non-conducting or blocking state. However, when a sm
  diode A diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in only one direction. It is a two-terminal device that has a cathode (negative) and an anode (positive) terminal. When a voltage is applied across the diode in the forward direction, current flows through the diode, but in the reverse direction, the diode blocks the current. The basic operation of a diode is based on the properties of a semiconductor material. A semiconductor material is a material that has an electrical conductivity between that of a conductor (such as copper) and an insulator (such as rubber). When a semiconductor material is doped with impurities, it becomes either an n-type semiconductor (which has excess electrons) or a p-type semiconductor (which has holes or lacks of electrons). A diode is made by joining a p-type semiconductor with an n-type semiconductor, which is called a p-n junction. The p-n junction acts as a one-way valve for the flow of current. When a positive voltage is applied to
