What system of high tension cables by which electrical power is distributed throughout region?

Power lines


Are transmission power cables capacity designed by voltage or by power is there any limit to the voltage that can pass?

Transmission power cables are designed by current carrying capacity.


What is an electric power sensor?

Electrical power sensors are used to measure characteristics of electric power such as voltage, current, power, and potential degradation of insulation due to age. For AC circuits, an electric power sensor can also be used to measure power quality. Some electrical power sensors are incorporated into transformers or other components of the power distribution grid. Others are added to existing systems. Typically, these electrical power sensors measure one or more physical characteristics and convert them to electrical signals. Basic electric power sensor categories include electrical capacitance sensors, electrical frequency sensors, electrical resistance sensors, and electrical conductance sensors.


What is vdc power?

Vdc is an acronym for "Volts Direct Current". VDC is often shown on electrical schematics to indicate a connection to the positive side of a battery or other DC power source. In TTL logic, VDC is traditionally 5 volts and ground refers to Earth Ground (0 volts).

Why do electrical appliances need to be plugged into the wall?

Because the power needed to make them work is delivered by a national 'grid' of electrical cables. There is no way to actually transmit power to an appliance through the air. It must be deilvered by cables.


Why energy is lost from power transmission cables?

Losses are mainly due to electrical resistance.

How is energy lost from power stations to homes?

The resistance of the cables that conduct the electric current away from the substations causes the cables to dissipate some of the electrical energy in the form of heat.


What do the computer wires do?

They are either data cables that connects peripherals to each other for communication, cables to send a signal (power, LED light), or power cables to provide DC power to each parts of the computer. Cables come in many different various types depending on their purposes.


Can you trace?

All electrical conductors are surrounded by a magnetic field. By detecting this magnenetic field you can trace hidden electrical cables buried in walls using a cable tracer. More advanced versions of this type of tool are used to detect power cables buried underground.
