What is the relationship between voltage power and current?

The unit of power is watts, the unit of current is amps, and the unit of voltage it volts. Power = Voltage X Current Voltage = Power / Current Current = Power / Voltage In electricity, power is symbolized with a P, current with an I, and voltage with a V. The real formula looks like: P = V x I V = P / I I = P / V


Is a voltage and current source the same thing?

Voltage source inverters use the dc voltage (e.g a capacitor in parallel) as a source while the current source inverer (inductor in series) use the dc current as a source. Please note that voltage can not be changed abruptly in capacitor as current can not be changed abruptly in inductor.


Why current transformers are required in protective relaying scheme?

Current transformers (CTs) are used to monitor the current (or lack of) in high-voltage systems, and their secondary outputs controls the behaviour of protection-system relays. The CTs (1) reduce the current to values that match the current ratings of the protective relays, and (2) electrically-isolate the relays from the high-voltage system.


What is short circuit voltage?

Short circuit voltage is the voltage that has to be applied to the primaries of a transformer, so that the nominal current flows through the secondaries, when they are shorted. This value is important, if transformer secondaries shall be used in parallel. Ideally all transformers with parallel secondaries should have the same short circuit voltage. When their short circuit voltages are different, the transformer with the lower short circuit voltage will be loaded more than their relationship of power ratings would predict. The short circuit voltage is also important in the design of a transformer, because it predicts, how much the secondary voltage will drop at nominal output current. This knowledge helps the designer to find out, how many further windings the secondary needs for a certain voltage in relation to an ideal transformer. Short circuit voltage is also known as impedance voltage.


What is a line to line voltage?

In a 3 phase system, the voltage measured between any two phase is called line to line voltage.And the voltage measured between line to neutral is called phase to neutral (line to neutral) voltage.AnswerThere is no such thing as a 'phase-to-phase' or a 'phase-to-neutral' voltage. The correct terms are 'line-to-line' and 'line-to-neutral'.The voltage between any two line conductors is called a line voltage.In a three-phase, three-wire, system, the line voltage is numerically equal to the phase voltage.In a three-phase, four-wire, system, the voltage between any line conductor and the neutral conductor is called a phase voltage. The line voltage is 1.732 times larger than the phase voltage.

What is term used when an Alternating current acts like a direct current?

Perhaps you are asking how the voltage of alternating current is measured, to be equivalent to the voltage of a direct current system. Alternating current and direct current have distinct properties. With direct current, voltage is at a constant polarity, and a direct current voltage source will maintain a uniform, constant voltage level. Alternating current reverses polarity at a given frequency and therefore it's voltage continuously varies from a positive peak voltage level, through zero, to a negative peak voltage level, repeating this cycle continuously. For this reason, voltage of an alternating current system, is measured in root-mean-square (rms), which is a voltage, which when multiplied by the current in amperes, calculates power which is equivalent to that of direct current of the same voltage and current values. With a typical sinusoidal waveform, the peak voltage of alternating current is divided by the square root of 2 to determine the rms voltage. The 120 volts output in the wall outlet in our home is actually about 170 peak volts.


What is rms value in ac system?

The r.m.s. value of an alternating current or voltage is the value of direct current or voltage which produces the same heating effect.


What is difference between nominal and terminal voltage?

The rated voltage of a motor listed on the nameplate is called the terminal voltage. This indicates the actual voltage on the motors terminals at which at which the manufacturer designed to operate. Whereas, Nominal voltage is the design or configuration voltage of the electricity distribution system.


How you would use the water flow to demonstrate a low-voltage electric current?

In a water system, the "voltage" is the water pressure, the flow rate is the "current", and the pipe size is the "resistance". Low-voltage electrical current is equivalent to low-pressure water.

Why does your house voltage change?

Loading will cause small voltage fluctuations on the system supplying voltage to your house. Also, the system configuration can change, so you may be supplied from one location today, but switched to a different location tomorrow to allow maintenance to be done without you losing power.

Which starting system component uses a small amount of current to control a large amount of current?

I think its a starter solenoid or a relay. I know relays take high voltage current to power low voltage circuits. Hope that helps..


Why the rating of lightning arrestor is less than its rated voltage eg for 400 kv system it is 360?

The MAXIMUM rated voltage is the voltage at which the electricity would arc across the insulators The usage voltage is lower than the rated voltage (usually somewhere around 80% The lightning arrestor voltage is in between. It will not pass current at the usage voltage, but will pass current when the voltage exceeds the arrestor threshhold


What is the power factor of a DC system?

It would be unity, or 1.0. Since the voltage in a DC circuit does not vary with time, there can be no phase displacement of the current waveform, and therefore the current could not lead or lag the voltage waveform.
