What are nematodes that have a lung phase?
The nematodes (round worms) that have a lung phase are Ascaris lubricoides, Necator americanus, and Strongyloides stercoralis
Can a 3 phase slip ring motor start when its one resistance or phase is open?
A three phase motor will not start if one phase leg is open.
What is the voltage of other two phase of 3 phase system when One phase is open?
If you mean 'phases' and not 'lines', then the loss of a phase has no effect on the voltages provided. You will still obtain three voltages, displaced from each other by 120 degrees.
What genre is worms open warfare 2?
Worms: Open Warfare 2 is an artillery game with the sub-genre of a strategy game.
What is open phase in induction motors?
The field windings of a three-phase motor are termed 'phase windings'. An 'open phase' means that one of these windings has become open-circuited -i.e. there is a break in the winding. Unfortunately, however, 'line conductors' are often incorrectly referred to as 'phase conductors', so a break in a line conductor could (incorrectly) be called an 'open phase'!
Your father has open wounds and has worms. Is it good to have worms?
Normally no. Maggots are sometimes used to help treat wounds, but other worms are generally a bad sign. Some bad worms are heart worms, round worms, tape worms, pin worms, and hook worms.
Why will an induction motor burn if one phase fails?
Motor is running as a single phase motor with lower speed and creating noise. In this situation it will drawing higher current. If it runs for long time then insulation may get damage and ultimately burnout the winding.CommentThis is where the correct terminology is important. Do you mean 'phase' or do you mean 'line'? If you mean 'phase', then you mean that one of the field windings has failed; if you mean 'line', then you mean one of the supply conductors has failed.If you lose a phase, then the machine behaves like an open-delta or open-wye (depending on its configuration); if you lose a line, then you have two field windings in series with each other, in parallel with the third. Two completely-different situations.
When your dog scoots his butt across the floor does this mean he has worms?
no
There are five stages of growth in an open system of culture?
Lag phase, exponential or log phase, stationary phase, death phase, and phase of prolonged decline.
What is the difference between an open delta and an open wye connection?
An open delta connection is a delta connection with one phase removed, but still supplied with three line conductors. An open wye is a wye connection with one phase removed, supplying a three line conductors and a neutral conductor. An open-delta/open-wye is a method of providing a reduced-load three-phase supply using just two single-phase transformers, rather than the preferred method of using three single-phase transformers.
Where did the phrase 'open up a can of worms' derive from?
A complex unexpected problem or unsolvable dilemma, as in Tackling the budget cuts is sure to open a can of worms. This expression alludes to a container of bait used for fishing, which when opened reveals an inextricable tangle of worms. [1920s]
What is the meaning of can of worms in idiomatic expression?
to open up a can of worms means to bring even more problems to be dealt with than there were before. The can of worms is a new set of issues.
