SYSTEM ONBOARDHE ASK WHAT IS THAT ?? TOLD THAT ELECTRIC MOTOR IS

MOLLIER DIAGRAM VAPOUR COMPRESSION REFRIGERATION CYCLE. TOLD
EVERYTHING LOTS OF CROSS QUESTION LIKE WHAT IS SUPERHEAT?
SUBCOOLING? TELL T.E.V THEN TOLD DRAW T.E.V. FINALLY SAID OK. ITS VERY
DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN HIM & CONVINCE HIM.
3. THEN HOW SPEED CONTROL OF INDUCTION MOTOR? ON WHICH PARAMETERS
IT DEPENDS? TOLD FORMULA THEN ASK METHODS TOLD FREQUENCY
CONVERTERS, VSD, SYNCHRO/CYCLO CONVERTERS. THEN ASK WHAT ABOUT
POLE CHANGING? TOLD FUNDA DOUBLE STAR CONNECTION. STAR LESS SPEED
THEN DELTA MORE SPEED BUT..FINAL LINE I TOLD THAT BY POLE CHANGING U
GET ONLY FIXED SET OF SPEED BUT BY FREQUENCY CHANGING CONSTANTLY
U GET VARYING SPEEDHE AGREES.
4. ASKED SAFETY IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM? I THINK LIGHTINING SYSTEM
ONLY!!! TOLD FUSE FOR SHORT CKT PROTECTION & CKT BREAKER FOR
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION.THEN HE ASK ONLY THIS ??? I TOLD SIR IN
ONLY SYSTEM THIS WE CAN PUTTHEN I TOLD IN MSB WE HAVE REVERSE
POWER TRIP, UNDERVOLTAGE, OVERCURRENT, PREFERINTIAL TRIP ETC THEN
HE ASK WHAT ABOUT MOTOR CKT?? I TOLD IN DOL STARTERS WE HAVE FUSE
BACK UP FOR SHORT CKT, OVERLOAD TRIP, SINGLE PHASING/ OVERCURRENT
TRIP, THERMISTER WINDING PROTECTIONSAID OK.
