A low voltage EKG means the amplitude of the QRS waves on the EKG are lower than would be expected. COPD, obesity, and pericardial effusions can cause low EKG voltages, amongst other causes.

What is low heart voltage?

Low voltage on an EKG is usually encountered in people with very thick chest walls or with lung diseases. Low voltage results from increased impedance between the EKG leads (on the chest) and the source of the charge (the heart). Increased distance, poorly conducting tissue or air all increase the impedance, thus resulting in decreased voltage visible on the EKG.


What does low voltage frontal leads mean in an EKG?

more than likely misplacement of the electrodes, but low voltage could also indicate a small heart or perhaps a heart that isn't pumping very strongly.


Why does a low voltage circuit create more amperage than a high voltage circuit?

That depends on what you mean. If you mean why does a circuit which has a high voltage side and a low voltage side have a greater average current on the low voltage side, it is probably because of power conservation: P = IV. If this is not what you mean, you will have to be more specific!


How do you explain the stability of output voltage in spite of input voltage changing at zener diode?

In the zener region of a diode, there is a relatively flat, low slope line for voltage as a function of current. As a result, increasing current in the zener region does not result in a significant increase in voltage - hence, voltage stability.

What are the possible result of a tap changer malfunction?

Low voltage, high voltage, or a fault; the effects of these could be damage to equipment, including the transformer and tap cahnger.


Definition of boost voltage?

As far as I know. Boost voltage or start voltage is a voltage increase that we use at low frequencies to compensate for the voltage lost. With no boost there would arise a flux which is to small. We would not be able to keep the demand of a constant magnetic flux, which result in losing the torque. The boost is responsible for maintaining the max torque at low frequency.
