When is a switch or key open?

A switch is open when the key is not plugged in, thus creating an air gap or discontinuity in the circuit. No current can flow through such a circuit.

I have re-charged the air condition and replaced the air door actuator in my 2002 Chevy S-10 2.2liter and my AC doesn't work why?

If the compressor is not kicking in, check the fuse, check the compressor clutch air gap, check the low pressure cut out switch, check the high pressure cut out switch.


Why does the air gap leak when you run your dishwasher?

Your air gap is not supposed to leak. Check the hose that leads from the air gap to the garbage disposal for a clog. This should resolve your problem.


What is the resistance of an air gap?

The resistance of an air gap is effectively infinite until it reaches its arcover threshold voltage; then it drops to near zero as the air in the gap ionizes. It returns to effectively infinite when the current through the gap is insufficient to keep the air ionized.


What does a switch do in a curcuit?

A switch can create a gap in a circuit causing the circuit to turn on or off!

The year, make and model would be very helpful but check the following..................... 1. Pressure switch. 2. Pressure switch harness. 3. Clutch air gap. 4. Control panel.


Why is it important to have an air gap in a water rocket?

Water is non-compressible. The air gap is what allows additional air to be pumped into the rocket.


What is the luminous electrical discharge through the air that occurs when high voltages exist across a gap between conductors?

It is called a plasma discharge. It happens when a high voltage, pole top, air switch is opened under load and the current does not immediately stop but conducts through the air as the switch pole faces become further apart. Eventually the resistance of the air-gap overcomes the current flow and the plasma discharge extinguishes itself. These flash overs are hard on the contact points on the switch so long rods (called horns) are placed on the switch contacts so that as the contacts separate, the plasma discharge is drawn away from the contact and up the rods (horns) until the flash over stops. These types of switches are called horn gap switches.


Why does your air conditioning works intermittently?

Depending on the year, make and model check the following.............. 1. Freon level. 2. Pressure switch. 3. Pressure switch pigtail. 4. A/C clutch air gap. 5. A/C heater controller. 6. Electrical for the system.


Is there a code for a 1'' air gap in a tub spout installation?

Yes and an air gap for a basin faucet and an air gap located in most dishwasher and washing machines. The actual size of the air gap is 2 times the effective opening (supply pipe) but in no case less then 1 "
