Sawtooth Generator (Oscillator) with Transistors

In the figure a, the capacitor is slowly charged through resistor R and finally after reaching the base-emitter voltage of PNP transistor, the PNP transistor begin conducting and activate the NPN transistor. The activation of NPN transistor is positively fed back to the PNP transistor so the transistors short the capacitor C to ground, discharging its voltage until zero in […]

Start Mechanism in Single Phase Induction Motor

The single-phase induction motor is not self-starting device. The main winding carries an alternating current when the motor is connected to a single-phase power supply. A pulsating magnetic field will be produced by this current. The rotor is energized due to induction. The torque necessary for the motor rotation is not generated as the main magnetic field is pulsating. This […]
