What are Split Ring and Slip Ring?
Split ring and slip ring are two kinds of electrical components. Split ring is a kind of alternating current switch, which is used to connect two or more circuits, and can also be used in the adjustment of the current, voltage and phase of the circuit. Slip ring is a kind of electrical component, which is used to realize the power transmission and signal transmission between the static and rotating parts.
Difference between Split Ring and Slip Ring
The main difference between split ring and slip ring is in their structure. The split ring is composed of a split ring, a switch arm and an insulating base. When the switch arm is rotated, the two ends of the split ring can be connected to the two ends of the circuit, so as to achieve the purpose of switching the circuit. The slip ring is composed of a ring, a brush and a bearing. The brush is in contact with the ring, which can realize the power transmission and signal transmission between the static and rotating parts.
Application of Split Ring and Slip Ring
The split ring is mainly used in power system, such as the connection of electrical components in power distribution system, the adjustment of current, voltage and phase of the circuit, and the connection of motor and generator. The slip ring is mainly used in the transmission of power and signal between the static and rotating parts, such as the transmission of power and signal between the rotating and static parts of the rotating radar antenna.
