What Is Transformer

The reason for transforming the voltage to a much higher level is that higher distribution voltages implies lower currents for the same power and therefore lower I 2 R losses along the networked grid of cables. These higher AC transmission voltages and currents can then be reduced to a much lower, safer and usable voltage level where it can be used to supply electrical equipment in our homes and workplaces, and all this is possible thanks to the basic  Voltage Transformer . The  Voltage Transformer  can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A transformer basically is very simple static (or stationary) electro-magnetic passive electrical device that works on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction by converting electrical energy from one value to another. The transformer does this by linking together two or more electrical circuits using a common oscillating magnetic circuit which is produced by the transfo...

Working of Solar Panel

Working of Solar Panel: The solar cells on the calculation and satellites are also called photovoltaic (PVC) cells, Which as the name implies (photo meaning light and voltaic meaning electricity), convert sunlight directly into the electricity. A module is a group of cells connected electrically and packaged into a frame (more commonly known as solar panel), which can then be grouped into large solar arrays. Photovoltaic cells are made of special materials called semiconductors such as silicon, which is currently used most commonly. Basically, when light strikes the cell, a certain portion of it is absorbed within the semiconductor material. This means that the energy of the absorbed light is transferred to the semiconductor. The energy knocks electrons loose, allowing them to flow freely.    PV cells also have one or more electric field that acts to force electrons freed by light absorption t...
