You'd potentially damage the meter. Whether you do or not is immaterial; if the meter cannot measure the range of voltages you are expecting, it will not give accurate readings over that voltage range, thus you should not use it. Buy a different meter that will measure over that voltage range, or use a voltage divider circuit to get a lower voltage at a certain ratio of what is actually in the circuit (this may be difficult to do, or very simple depending on the circuit tested - the key is you do not want to load the circuit with the voltage divider network).

Can the total of the voltage drop across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?

no


Why cant you use the voltage across the inductor and the voltage across the lamp to find the supply voltage in a fluorescent fitting?

Because the two voltages are out of phase, that means that individually they peak at different times in the AC cycle, so in general if they are measured separately their sum will exceed the supply voltage, possibly by up to 41%.


How do you calculate the output voltage of a transformer if kva rating is known?

You can't determine the output voltage of a transformer by knowing kva. Transformers will be marked as to input and output voltages. Some will have multiple input and output voltages. The output voltage depends on the ratio of coil turns between input and output.


How do you determine how fast you enter data for example I type 50 wpm is there an acronym or abbreviation for how fast your data entry skills are?

It depends on whether the data entry is predominantly alphanumeric or numeric. Alphanumeric entry is measured in WPM (words-per-minute) and usually requires a minimum of 60 to 80 WPM however a top-flight secretary can easily exceed 100 WPM. Numeric entry is measured in KPH (keystrokes-per-hour) and usually requires a minimum of around 8,000 to 9,000 KPH. Hardcore data entry requires a minimum of 10,000 KPH while a top-flight number cruncher can easily exceed 12,000 KPH.

What are the effects on the voltmeter if voltages measured exceed the range?

If the voltage measured exceeds the voltmeter range then the voltmeter needle remains in it's maximum position until it's voltage values are considerably reduced.

How do you find out if 2 separate voltages are in phase with each other?

Two separate voltages with same magnitude, if are in phase, the voltage or potential difference across their terminal will be approximately zero. This can be identified using an AC voltmeter. Practically speaking, the voltage difference should not exceed 5 V ( 2%) in case of each phase voltage being 230 V. Again, if the two sources are of different magnitude as well, then in case of they being co-phaser, the potentail difference across their terminal will be the difference of their independent voltage. As in, Source A = 230 V AC, Source B = 110 V AC, then in case of they being co-phaser, P.D. will be 120 V.


Can i use 12v -0-12v to 230v step up transformer to get more voltages let say 2000v?

If you exceed the rated voltage of your transformer, there is a high possibility that its insulation will break down and you will ruin that transformer.


Can a 9 volt 1.3 A ac adapter be replaced with a 9 volt 1.6 A ac adapter?

Yes, this should work fine.AnswerThe rule is that the voltages should match, but the current rating of the adapter must exceed that of the load you intend connecting to it.


What is the highest weight limit that can be measured by a bathroom scale?

Most everyday bathroom scales have a maximum weight limit of 300 pounds. There are a few that exceed this amount, but this is the predominent limit.


Can hurricane winds exceed to 121kmph?

Yes. The minimum wind speed for a hurricane is 119 km/h. Some hurricanes have had measured winds in excess of 300 km/h.


Can the total of the voltage drops across the loads of a series circuit ever exceed the total of the source voltages applied to that circuit?

No. But bear in mind that, in the case of a.c. circuits, 'total', means the phasor (vectorial) sum of the voltage drops, NOT the algebraic sum.

What is the meaning of vacuum not exceeding 5 mm?

Pressure is frequently measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), so a vacuum not exceeding 5 mm presumably means not to exceed 5 mm Hg pressure.
