What is Alternating current is measured in?
Alternating Current is measured in Amperes.
What is a graphical representation of alternating current?
The symbol for alternating current is: ~
What is alternating current normally produced by?
Alternating current is normally produced by rotating the magnet in the coil of an induced alternating voltage. When connected to a circuit, an alternating current will flow.
Does vac stand for volt amp current or volt alternating current?
It stands for volts alternating current.
What did alternating electrical current effect in the 1920?
The introduction of alternating electrical current, in 1920, eliminated the need for a return wire. Alternating current, AC, replaced direct current, DC.
what is a frequency converter?
A frequency converter is a power electronic device. It transforms Direct current to Alternating current of desired frequency and magnitude.
High frequency is direct or indirect current?
-- There's no such thing as 'indirect' current.-- Direct current has no frequency. As soon as you mention 'frequency',you're talking about alternating current.
Do strobe lights use ac or dc current to flash?
Strobe lights use ac or alternating current to flash. The frequency of 50 Hz is alternating current's frequency, coming in handy for its flashing.
What is the frequency of a alternating current source?
A/c 60 cycles
What is the purpose of a frequency converter?
A frequency converter converts "alternating current (AC) of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency." (Wikipedia) They are used to control the torque and speed of AC Motors. For more information go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_changer.
What is frequency the current alternates in the US?
In the US AC current oscillates at 60 Hz.http://www.answers.com/alternating+current
What is the frequency of the alternating voltage and current typically used in the US?
60 Hertz
Is transformer work without freqency?
No. A transformer has to have AC, alternating current, to work. And since it's alternating, it'll have a frequency.
Compare alternating current with direct current?
Alternating current changes direction on a set frequency such as 50 Hz, 60 Hz or 400 Hz. Direct current always flows in one direction.
What exactly does a frequency converter convert?
A frequency converter converts an alternating current from one frequency to another. This is typically measured in Hertz (Hz).
What type of current is used in your home alternating or direct?
In North America the electrical system is alternating current at a frequency of 60 Hertz. Europe and the UK use alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hertz. Direct current systems are obsolete because of the inability to transmit the voltage over long distances.
What can observe when frequency increases in alternating current?
Dear Friend, we can observe over speed when frequency is increase in alternating current ANSWER: You will see that the time between peaks will shorten up. If rectified the amount of capacitance to reduce ripple will decrease.
