Is it possible to use an Air Circuit Breaker for protection on 11KV line instead of SF6's Circuit Breakers?
Craig, Please refer to Australian Standard AS3000:2007 for the answer.
What evidence from this passage could support the idea that a strand of light might benefit from using a parallel circuit instead of a series circuit?
No
Why is a 'crowbar circuit' referred to as a crowbar?
This name probably comes from engineers working on electrical installations such as railways. If it becomes apparent or suspected, that the line they are working on has become live, a quick and easy way to make it safe, is to throw a crowbar across the live terminals. This will cause an immediate short circuit, blowing a breaker or fuse. A large metal object such as a crowbar, would be to hand and ideal for making such a short circuit. Crowbar protection is 'brute force' way of making a circuit safe. Instead of breaking a circuit, it deliberately causes an overload, in order to trip a safety device futher down the line.
What is function of vcb?
VCB is Vacuum Circuit Breaker. It is one of the type of Circuit breaker. In VCB arching chamber is vacuum instead of oil or such arc quenching media. Its function is to break the circuit automatically in case of fault or to isolate the circuit under normal situation also.
What is difference between transistor and amplifier?
A transistor is an electronic component. By itself it has little use. An amplifier is a complete, functional circuit, generally made up of several components. A transistor can be a component part of an amplifier, however an amplifier may be constructed without any transistors (using vacuum tubes instead, for instance).

Placing a voltmeter into a circuit will raise the circuit resistance?
Usually a volt meter is placed across a component to measure the voltage drop across that component. Doing this places the volt meter resistance in parallel with that component's resistance, which will always lower the total resistance. Since the volt meter resistance is usually very large relative to the resistance of the element being measured, the total resistance does not change significantly. The formula for total resistance of two parallel elements is: Rtot = (R1*R2)/(R1+R2), as R1 (the volt meter) >> R2, Rtot ~= (R1*R2) / (R1) = R2 If a volt meter is placed into a circuit instead of around an element of that circuit, it will raise the resistance of the circuit, load the circuit with, and interrupt "normal" operation of the circuit (normal operation = how things would be without the meter in place). More importantly, the volt meter would then be measuring the voltage developped across itself (instead of an element of the circuit), which is not the point of this tool / this would be a misapplication of a volt meter.
What happens if you use an ac circuit breaker instead of dc breaker?
A circuit breaker is easier to design for ac than dc because alternating current (ac) naturally goes to zero 100 or 120 times per second and this helps to extinguish any arc. Therefore an ac circuit breaker would not be suitable for dc assuming the same voltage and current ratings.
What is a lump circuit?
A lump circuit is a circuit that concentrates energy in specific frequencies. This is done instead of distributing it over a length of time.
Which is the suitable word to use in a sentence instead of impunity?
whats the answer
Can a resistance be used in the circuit instead of diode?
No. A resister is not a replacement component for a diode. A resister is passive and allows current to flow through in in both directions. A diode is a single semiconductor junction that only allow current to flow in one direction.
What is miniature circuit breakers?
miniature circuit breaker or MCB in low voltage electrical network instead of fuse.
Which is the suitable language for the computers?
it is quick writing so instead of cool you say kl and instead of saying you, you say u
How does a 6volt relay circuit works?
The same as a 12V relay circuit, except it only needs 6V instead of 12V.
Can you use buzzer instead of led in a circuit?
Sure. If you want sound when the circuit is energized, use a buzzer. If you want a visual indication when the circuit is energized, use an LED.
Can you use 16Mhz crystal instead of 16.5 mhz crystal in a circuit?
no
