220 volts 60 hertz to 220 volts 50 hertz?
Original Answer:If the power was being generated by a generator all that has to be done is slow the RPM of the generator down until the frequency meter reads 50 Hertz. On a hydro site it would be the same scenario by slowing the turbine down.Improved Answer:changing frequency is one of the more difficult things to do. Decreasing the speed of a generator is not a practical answer if the power comes from grid. You can use a variable frequency drive, or a motor generator set (Where the motor is rated for 60HZ, and the Generator is rated at 50 Hertz).For practical purposes, just get rid of the 50 hertz device and buy a new one.
Why is necessary to control over speed in a motor?
over speed control is recommended for all prime mover driven generator to prevent over frequency operation of load connected to a system supplied by the generator and also to prevent possible over frequency operation of the generator itself from Ac system.
How do you connect a 4 wire us 240 volt generator outlet to a 3 wire Australian 240 volt 50Hz plug... Can an adaptor pigtail be made and how do you wire the pigtail?
Yes an adapter can be made. You must keep in mind that the US generator's speed is set for 60 Hz generation. The frequency of a generator is governed by the RPM of the engine. If the generator has speed control on it, it will have to be turned down so that the frequency meter reads 50 Hz.
How is the brain informed that a receptor is adapting to a stimulus?
The amplitude of the generator potential or the frequency discharge of the sensory fiber decreases.
How many watts does a whole house generator use?
The size of a generator is based on what the connected load will be. Add up all of the connected wattages that will be connected to the generator at one time and add ten percent, this will be the size of the generator you will need. Some equipment does not show the wattage on its nameplate. To find the wattage use the following formula Watts = Amps x Volts.
Use of low frequency clock generator?
How to make Low frequency clock generator using ANAD gates?
Can UJT be used as an amplifier?
No we can not use it as amplfire .... it is used for switch on and off ... and frequency generator oscelator
Why must the oncoming generator on a power system be parralleled at a higher frequency than that of the running system?
If the frequency of the oncoming generator is slightly higher than the system frequency, the phase angle between the system and generator voltages will slowly change at a frequency equal to the difference between system and generator frequencies.
What is baud rate generator?
baud rate generator is a frequency divider
How do you step down frequency and voltage from an AC generator?
You step down voltage from an AC generator with a transformer.You step down frequency from an AC generator with a motor/generator set, or with an inverter. This is not a common thing to do.
How do you troubleshoot the voltage flickering of FG WILSON diesel generator?
If you can see the lights flickering then there is a good chance that the frequency of the generator is low. To increase the frequency just increase the speed of the generator. On bigger diesel engines there is a knurled knob, located on the fuel rack, that can be turned up to increase the speed. If the unit has a frequency meter check to see if it is on 60 or 50 Hz depending on what country you live in. Don't depend on the frequency meter as they are not always accurate. Use a test meter that has a frequency scale and set the generator with the meters reading.
What is the significance of the rotation of a generator?
The significance factor of the rotation of a generator is, that this rotation is what governs the frequency output of the generator.
What is the purpose for generator synchronising?
The purpose for generator synchronizing is to match the speed and frequency.
How 50Hz frequency is selected for a generator design?
Frequency is a function of engine speed and the number of poles in the generator end. For instance, a speed of 1500 RPM turning a four-pole generator will produce 50 hz. The formula is: Frequency = (poles/2) * (RPM/60) From the formula, you can see that the same frequency would be produced by a two-pole generator spinning at 3000 RPM.
How do you step the frequency from 50hz to 60hz?
The frequency of a grid system is set by the rotation of the generating equipment. If you have a small generator, the frequency can be increased by increasing the speed in revolutions per minute of the engine driving the generator.
Can you use motor turn turbine in the production of power?
One could but there would be additional losses. Older frequency changers use a synchronous motor to turn a synchronous generator with a different number of poles to change frequency. I have seen these used in woodworking. An example is to use a two pole motor to turn a four pole generator to generate power at twice the line frequency. A More modern solution would be to use semiconductors which would also allow the output frequency to be varied.
What piece of test epuipment generates a tone?
You would use a Frequency Generator to generate tones. They can also be refered to as a Function Generator or Signal Generator. Check out this page on wiki for more information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_generator
