It depends on the application, and on the implementation of the UPS. Some UPS devices function as an AVR by boosting the output voltage when the input voltage sags. A UPS will also help you during a complete power outage, which an AVR will not. A UPS however has batteries which need to be periodically replaced. An AVR does not, which means less maintenance.

What is the minimum value of high voltage?

Well, the word "high" can have different meanings in various work-areas. To an electronics specialist, "high" voltage can be anything above 5-10 V. To a home-electricity-technician, "high" voltage is anything above 50 V. To an electricity-company-technician, "high" voltage is anything above 230 V. It is better to ask for a clarification each time you here the term "high voltage".


Can an alternator short out for years And have problems for periods at a time for a matter of 3 years or so?

An alternator cannot "short" out for years or even minutes. The definition of a short is a wire or circuit touching ground to cause a fuse to blow. The circuit is too "short" for the current to flow through the proper load and back to the battery. The voltage regulator in a alternator can act up from time to time and cause improper charging from the alternator. Or a component of the alternator can go bad and cause a charging system problem intermittently. Your question needs to be explained better to give a better answer.


Which is better the 6600 mah or 4400 mah li-ion battery for a laptop?

It depends on the voltage. WH = Watt Henry, mAH = milliamp Henry, watts = amps * volts and milliamps= 1000 * amps. Thus the conversion is: mAH = 1000 * WH / V, where V is the voltage. I'm looking at the battery for my Dell Studio and it's rated 85WH and 11.1V. So it's 1000 * 85 / 11.1 = 7658 mAH, so in this case 85WH is better than 6600 maH. If we solve 1000 * 85 / V = 6600, we get V = 12.9. When converting from WH, the bigger the voltage the lower the mAH. So for voltages bigger than 12.9 V, 6600mAH is better than 85WH. Hope this helps.


Electromagnets are different then homemade electromagnets. How?

Industrial Electromagnets Use higher quality metals for the coil winding. Also the windings are of different design and there are more of them. The metals used for the conductor are also of better quality material and have greater voltage sent to them.


Does using a 1700mAh battery pack to replace a 720 mAh battery pack hurt the camcorder in any way?

NO, it will simply last longer before depletion. don't be worry, it's normal, but you'd better check the voltage and the technology, both of them need to be the same.

Why zener diode is used as voltage regulator?

A: At one time it was used for a regulator because in the reverse voltage breakdown it has the characteristic of keeping the voltage constant as voltage is increased. IT has being replaced by many three terminal regulator with much better regulation and temperature coefficient


What are the Advantages and disadvantages of IC voltage regulator?

IC voltage regulator performs better than any analog voltage regulator. Some IC regulators IC no. are given below- Positive IC voltage regulator- 78xx Negative IC voltage regulator-79xx where xx varies according to the use of ICs raring. as 7805 gives the positive 5 Volt & 7905 gives the negative 5 volt.

Testing a voltage regulator in a 62 Thunderbird?

check the battery white meter while accelerating the gas pedal if you get voltage be twin 12 to 14 you are fine but if you get more than 14 volt its better change the regulator because its gone harm your battery .


How do you reduce voltage in a circuit?

You reduce voltage in a DC circuit with a resistor. If the power demands are high, however, you may need a switching voltage regulator.


What is the zener point?

A diode (some people incorrectly call them rectifiers) is a semiconductor device that allows a current to flow in one direction. A Zener diode allows a reverse to current to flow at a defined voltage. A common application for them is as a voltage regulator. Named for C M Zener , US Physicist. A zener diode is a diode and like all diodes it will conduct in both directions. If a reversed voltage is applied it will breakdown and conduct current. Most diodes when they breakdown the reversed voltage cannot be predictable. However a zener diode when they do breakdown in the reverse voltage mode that voltage can be made as predictable and remain +/- % of the breakdown voltage. Therefore this steady voltage can be used as a regulator for instance or a definite voltage drop if need be.

Is a semi automatic rifle better than an automatic rifle?

You'd need to define your criteria by which you define "better". Most military doctrines dictate that riflemen fire in semi-automatic, and are supported by automatic weapons. Which is "better" depends on purpose, typically.


Why is neon gas used in voltage stabilizers?

Neon gas has a break-down voltage of about 70 volts. When the gas (in a neon voltage regulator tube) breaks down, the gas glows red. If more voltage is applied (within sensible limits) the voltage drop across the neon VR tube will still be 70 volts. This action by itself could result in a large current flowing in the gas tube and possibly to destroy it, so a resistor is placed in series with the neon VR tube to limit the current. And this is better for the neon tube as well. THUS a neon voltage regulator tube forms a reference voltage which can be used, with clever circuitry, to regulate any voltage. Other gas mixtures are used for other voltages. There are solid-state devices with similar properties.


How do you replace the voltage regulator in a 1988 240 Volvo?

The regulator is internal to the alternator! Just replace the alt. The alternator has an internal regulator that can be replaced by itself; however, when there is an issue with the alternator, it often involves diodes in alternator instead of or in addition to the regulator. better repair shops will often take an alternator to an automotive electrical repair shop for same-day rebuilds, with the value much higher than a cheap rebuild in a chain parts shop, and hundreds less than a dealer replacement. You want Bosch or your own Bosch rebuilt
