    Constant Power Load Concept, a myth?

    No problem, but even in the case of TRIAC,I think we should not comment on that, as it is a semiconductor controlled device and there we are just controlling or we can say, creating such scenarios where the current is need to be constant. But in normal conditions with linear loads or at very...

    Constant Power Load Concept, a myth?

    Dear 3DDave, thankyou for your valuable input. Will you please explain that how is it possible that even on decreasing the applied voltage , the current to the load will remain same, as you said to maintain the brightness. But is it possible? You mean a Variac is a constant current source...

    Constant Power Load Concept, a myth?

    Hey everyone I have some doubts over the 'concept' of Constant Power Load and its viability. I have heard people often using this statement - " With drop in the voltage the current across the load increases as the power of the load remains same, which as a result increases the heating losses."...

    SWER vs HVDS systems in Power Distribution

    Thank you @waross for your valuable input, but still I am a little bit confused with SWER and HVDS systems. Are they same or they have any differences?

    SWER vs HVDS systems in Power Distribution

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to know that what are the differences between the power system principles between a High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) where a single-phase transformer 11Kv/440V is used, and a Single Wire Earth Return system (SWER). Are these the same and only differ in the...
