18 gauge sheet steel is how thick?

There's a conversion table at this website which will tell you. http://www.mesteel.com/info/carbon/thickness.htm


What is 16 gauge in mm thickness?

In Imperial standard (swg), 16 g is 0.064" (1.63mm) thick.


Single phase AC motor winding formulas?

Single-phase motors efficient because the circuits are less complex; fewer electrical steps must be taken to achieve a desired output, so less power losses , how ever efficient=P(out)/P(in) , P(out) which more related for power losses as heated ,iron losses, stray losses and mechanical losses.


What is the conductor size and turns for 415V to230V step down 2 KVA transformer?

This requires care because 415 v is usually a three-phase supply, while 230 v is usually single-phase. A 415 v three-phase has a line to neutral voltage of 240 v so a transformer might not be necessary.The number of turns depend on the size of the magnetic core, a larger core requires fewer turns. but on the assumption of a 415/230 v single phase transformer, the currents in the primary and secondary would be 4.8 and 8.7 amps, and the wire sizes at 1000 amps/sq. inch would be 14 SWG enamelled for the primary and 12 SWG enamelled for the secondary (British wire sizes).Further advice depends on whether an existing core is available and what size it is.Another Answer415/240 V was the standard nominal three-phase voltage used in the UK before the requirements of the European Union forced that standard to become 400/230 V. In fact, no actualchange took place, because the statutory allowable variation was changed from +/-6% to +6%/-10%, which meant that the UK was able to comply with the EU regulations, on paper, without making any physical changes whatsoever to the existing voltage levels!So, I rather think the questioner is confusing three-phase and single-phase systems, when he or she thinks it's necessary to step 415 V down to the lower voltage when, in fact, both voltages are available from the secondary of a three-phase, star (wye) connected, system.Any load will work perfectly well whether or not its nominal voltage is '240 V' or '230 V', because (taking the EU standard of 230 V) the nominal voltage is allowed to vary between 253 - 216 V. So a load with a rated nominal voltage of either 230 V or 240 V falls comfortably within these allowable limits.Perhaps the questioner could get back to us and clarify his question?


What is use of transformer?

When you pass electricity through wires you warm the wires up. This heat is a total loss of energy. So you want to keep the loss to a minimum. The heating effect of electricity is increased with an increase in amperage (the current). The amount of power that goes through the wires is a function of the voltage x amps. So to transmit a certain amount of power with the minimum heat loss you keep the current down which mean pushing the voltage up. This is why the transmission wires near the generating station carry very high voltages. But these voltages are unsafe for use in domestic circuits so they have to be reduced by a series of transformers from the high voltages in the main lines to lower voltages at substations to even lower voltages in the home. But transformers are used in many other ways, but basically to change the voltage of the supply. Like your cellphone charger reduces the mains voltage to whatever it is your phone operates on, say 9 volts. 1. It is a static device which transforms the voltage (electromagnetically). In certain cases, the required voltage of a system needs to be increased or decreased, so in those cases a step up/ step down transformer is a must required. 2. Secondly it may be called as a protection device to the electrical network. At times due to heavy electrical faults it trips by keeping the main supply system healthy. 3. Step up voltage was used to Transmit the power to very long distance w/o higher transmission loss. 4. Because of Static device it operating efficiency is 98% compare to any electrical device. 5. Easy control & voltage adjustment.

18 swg means thk?

18 swg translated number 18 Standard Wire gauge. This is from a set of standards developed to control the thickness of wire that was used for nails. The range covers 57 sizes from the largest know as 7/0 at 0.5" (12.7mm) then through 6/9, 5/0,4/0,3/0, 2/0.1/0 and 0 and then from 1down to 50 which is the smallest "0.001 (appx 0.025mm) the differences from one size to another are a 20% difference in weight per unit length of the wire which is about 10.5% on diameter. The Standard Wire Gauge was adopted as a standard in UK in the late 19th century and was also used to define the thickness of sheet metal. So 18 swg means thk? 18 standard wire gauge = 1.219mm thick
