Electric Machines
Learning Outcome 1: Analyse the operating characteristics of electromagnetic transducers and actuators.
Q1.
Scenario pt1:
There are many types of electromotive transducers and actuators that can be used for various applications used by the utility distribution company, such as on the power generators, cooling, fuel delivery, and liquid distribution.
Through research and investigations analyse three common types of electromagnetic transducers and three types of actuators for any of the stated areas provided in the scenario; state their application, design type, and analyse their operation taking into consideration the following:
1. Construction
2. Advantages and Disadvantages
3. Features/Characteristics
4. Applications as it pertains to their use in the Utility to meet possible requirements.
Q2.
Scenario pt2:
The electrical distribution company you are employed in is embarking on Industrial Internet Technology (IIT), this new technology is used for monitoring valves and equipment in the generation section of your company, it uses wireless transmitters to improve regulatory monitoring system compliance and reduce hydrocarbon losses annually due to timely detection and repair of faulty valves and equipment. You are required to select three types of transducers that can be used in this initiative seen in Figure 1. For each selection you must justify the suitability of the transducer.
Considerations must be given to the following:
(i) Transducer type.
(ii) Voltage and current requirements.
(iii) Back Electromotive Force (EMF), EMI and efficiency.
Q3.
Scenario pt3:
You are required to analyse the practical application of any two transducer and actuator that can be used in the IIT initiative embarked by your company in activity 2 and to make recommendations to improve the operating efficiency of these transducers and actuators based on new technology and regulatory requirements.
