An overload trip is due to too much load on a circuit (for example, my wife running a hair dryer and portable heater on the same outlet). An over current trip is the same thing, but it can also refer to an actual fault condition where conductors have come in contact with eachother/shorted.

What is the difference between the common logarithm and the natural logarithm?

A logarithm is the exponent to which a number called a base is raised to become a different specific number. A common logarithm uses 10 as the base and a natural logarithm uses the number e (approximately 2.71828) as the base.


Why current flow from higher voltage to lower voltage?

Normal flow of electrons are from positive to a less negative potential. When a potential is applied meaning voltage electrons leave their orbit and move to another nucleus leaving at the same time a hole to be fill out by the next electron coming in. In essence electrons flow one way and holes flow in the opposite direction. It is possible to have -100v flowing into a -90v. electrons do not know what the potential can be raised to all they know is the differential potential of 10 v in this caseAnswerIt doesn't. If flows from a higher potential to a lower potential. Voltage means 'potential difference', which is quite different.A 'higher potential' is conventionally taken as meaning 'more positive', while a 'lower potential' is taken as meaning 'less positive'. The direction of conventional current (plus to minus), therefore, is from a higher potential to a lower potential.Electrons, on the other hand, move from negative to positive, so they move from a 'lower potential' to a 'higher potential'.

What is full form of mvar?

As you have written it (mvar), it stands for 'reactive millivolt amperes', but I think you probably mean 'Mvar', which stands for 'reactive megavolt amperes'. These are units for reactive power of an alternating-current load.A lower-case 'm' represents 'milli', whereas an upper-case 'M' represents 'mega'. 'V' represents 'volts', 'A' represents 'amperes', and 'r' represents 'reactive'.SI does not specify a symbol for reactive volt amperes (it only recognises 'watts'), so it is seen in written in various ways, including: var, VAR, VAr, VA(r), and VAr -in each case, it is also common to see a 'raised period' between the V and the A -e.g. V.Ar .


How do you use center punches?

A centre punch is just like a hard, thick nail. If you put it against metal and hit it with a hammer you get a little dot, a small pit with a raised edge. It's useful if you're drilling a hole and want to control where it goes. You put the punch where the centre of the hole is supposed to be and then the raised ridges will help center the drill.
