Best Answer

That depends on a lot of factors. What are you trying to power? how far is it from your electrical panel? How much power will it require? If it is in your home it will run off of 120 volts or 240 volts. Anything other than that would require a step-up or step-down transformer. As for conductor size, that depends on how many amps are required.

How the diameter of conductor can be calculated for a perticular voltage?

It's not the voltage that determine the size of the conductor,it's the current. The rule of thumb is: 6A for every 1mm sq


The resistance of a copper conductor will decrease with an increase of applied voltage?

No, the resistance of a copper conductor does not vary according to applied voltage. It is constant for a given wire size, and only varies with temperature. Of course, current through a conductor causes it to heat, so current, not voltage, indirectlycauses a change in resistance.


How do you make the voltage high to avoid voltage drop?

The problem of over coming voltage drop is not to raise the voltage but lessen the resistance of the feed conductor. This is done by increasing the circular mil capacity of the conductor. In other words increase the size of the feed conductor allowing the load to receive its proper operating amperage at its proper operating voltage. Average allowable voltage drop on a load feed conductor is usually 3 percent of the load's nameplate rating.


Why are large transformers designed not to have optimum regulation in order for circuit breakers to be within reasonable size?

What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?

The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.


Induced voltage can be increased in magnitude by?

Induced voltage can be increased by increasing flux density, velocity of conductor cutting flux lines or increasing the size of your coil.


What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a battery?

The battery is the voltage or power source, the wires form the conductor.


How the windings are made in the transformer based on voltage?

Transfromer Winding has three main parts in addition to many other parts. Size of the conductor, number of turns, insulation level. The load current defines the size of the conductor. Step up or step down voltage level defines the number of turns. Voltage level defines the level of insulation.


What are the possible remedies against corona because of extra high voltage?

increase the size of conductor ,provide the hallow conductor,increase the critical disruptive voltage bv providing shunt capacitors. these capacitors increases the power capacity of the line.

How is voltage induced in a conductor?

According to Faraday's law, a voltage is induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field.


What is the relationship between voltage and MA?

The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA
