What is copper jumper and why it is required?

Copper laminated flexible jumpers are manufactured by stacking high conductivity, electrolytic grade copper foils and then pressure welded. The process is designed in such a way that it enhances the current carrying capacity with almost nil, millivolt drop across the connector. Copper jumpers carry the same current as that of Busbars as they have a constant cross section over the whole length giving a nil millivolt drop. So these kind of jumpers are ideal substitutes for solid busbars. Applications of these jumpers are wide, catering to the many industries like Power Plants, Transformers switchgear's, electricity boards, chemical plants, locomotives, etc.Flexible jumpers are an excellent and cost effective interconnection for applications requiring flexibility.Contributed by Bombay Electricals- Manufactureres of Copper Jumpers


Connecting 1 phase electric fryer to 3 phase?

Check the junction box control schematic, some equipment can be used on both systems just be re arranging the jumpers in the control box of the device.


What are some construction terms?

Some construction terms are aerator, aggregate, ducts, dry in, glaving, grade, girder, jumpers, king stud, knot, pedestal, penny, paver, punch out, punch list, and putty.


How do you change the phasing of three phase generator?

Inside the generators junction box there will be termination points that the generator coils terminate on. On the inside of the lid of the junction box there should be a diagram for different connections allowed for that generator. By moving jumpers around across these terminals a variety of voltages can be obtained.


Vlotage on motor name plate is line or phase voltage?

The voltage tag on a motor says 120 or 220 volt and some motors have jumpers to wire it for either one. That is the supply line voltage. The motor knows how to use that. If the plate says three phase is required then consult your electic supply Company for a three phase supply line.

What is the difference between master IDE and slave IDE?

In computing, the terms "master IDE" and "slave IDE" refer to the primary and secondary IDE devices connected to the IDE bus on a motherboard. The master IDE device is the main drive that controls the bus and handles data transfers, while the slave IDE device is a secondary drive that operates under the control of the master device. Each IDE channel can have one master and one slave device connected to it.

How you can make slave or master hard drive?

There are jumpers on the drive itself that can be configured to set it up as a master or a slave. Refer to your hard drive's documentation for the pins to use for these configurations.


Why is configuration information stored in the cmos ram rather than jumpers or switches?

Your windows xp does not recognize your maxtor hard drive?

Make certain that the jumpers are set properly, that the cables are connected properly (Data and Power) and that the BIOS can identify the drive. Understand that many of the OLDER motherboards have a BIOS that cannot properly deal with larger disks.


What performance enhancement is accomplished through jumpers CMOS settings or software configuration?

If you had installed anything in the PCI-E or any kind of Drive, it will lose all of the hardware configuration to that device. Overall, no performance enhancement will be made. In rare cases, Performance will increase by 1%-3%.
