The full form of EOT is End of Transmission

• EOT stands for End of Transmission

• It is used in telecommunication to indicate the end of a transmission

• EOT is often represented as a control character in ASCII

An EOT crane, or Electric Overhead Traveling crane, is a type of crane that is operated by electricity and runs along tracks mounted on the ceiling of a facility.

• EOT cranes are commonly used in industrial settings for lifting and moving heavy loads.

• They are equipped with a hoist that can move horizontally along the crane's bridge beam.

• EOT cranes are controlled by an operator using a pendant control or a cabin cont...read more

Short Message Service

• SMS stands for Short Message Service

• It is a text messaging service component of phone, web, or mobile communication systems

• SMS messages are limited to 160 characters

• Examples: 'Hello, how are you?' or 'Don't forget to buy milk.'

Speed of an EOT crane can be controlled by changing the voltage or frequency of the power supply.

• By changing the voltage or frequency of the power supply, the speed of the EOT crane can be controlled.

• This can be achieved by using a transformer to change the voltage or a generator to change the frequency.

• However, this method is not as efficient as using a VFD.

• Another option is to use a mechanical system such as a g...read more

Tests done during maintenance of a power transformer

• Insulation resistance test

• Turns ratio test

• Winding resistance test

• Oil quality test

• Partial discharge test

• Visual inspection

RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector. It is a type of temperature sensor.

• RTD measures temperature by detecting the change in resistance of a metal wire as the temperature changes.

• The most common types of RTD are platinum, nickel, and copper.

• Platinum RTDs are the most accurate and have the widest temperature range (-200°C to 850°C).

• Nickel RTDs have a smaller temperature range (-80°C to 260°C) but are less...read more

A fluid coupling is a device used to transmit rotational power between two shafts without direct mechanical connection.

• Fluid coupling uses hydraulic fluid to transmit torque.

• It consists of an impeller, turbine, and a fluid medium.

• The impeller is connected to the input shaft and the turbine to the output shaft.

• When the impeller rotates, it creates a flow of fluid which in turn rotates the turbine.

• The fluid coupling...read more
