What is function of snubber circuit?
capable of resetting the transformer as well as eliminating leakage inductance voltage spike across the switch
What is the use of tap changing switch?
To make minor adjustments to the transformer's turns ratio in order to slightly increase or decrease the secondary voltage in order to maintain that voltage within legal requirements. Off-load tap changers, as the name implies, can only be operated when the transformer is disconnected.
What type of current is used in mobile charger?
THe mbile charger takes a.c (alternating current) from power source and convers it to d.c(direct current) and feds it to mobile battery. The charger also steps down the voltage from the power line voltage 110v etc to very small voltages e.g3 v etc.
How do you test a capacitor when you remove it out of circuit?
Simply test it with a multi meter. Set to DC and see if it is holding voltage. Then,...Set the meter on Ohms to check the continuity between the leads. If it shows little or no resistance, or doesnt beep, normally youre ok. If it beeps or shows resistance, its fried. Afterwards, since the voltage should have been drained by the meter on Ohms setting, see if it builds back up.
How current leads voltage?
The reason that current leads voltage in a capacitor is rooted in the way a capacitor works. Picture the capacitor. It's basically two conductive plates separated by a short distance and having a dielectric (insulator) between them. Now, let's specify that our cap (capacitor) is completely discharged and we'll hook it up to a DC voltage source through a switch. Flip the switch on and current will begin to flow, but it is important to look at what happens in just the first instant of time. Electrons will begin to accumulate on the negative plate and their presence there will drive electrons off the positive plate. The capacitor is building up a charge. It is developing a voltage across (or between, if you prefer) the plates. But electrons have to begin to pile onto the plate to actually create the difference of potential (voltage) between the plates. The moving electrons (and that's current) that are piling on the plate are already beginning to flow before the voltage is developed between the plates, so current is said to lead voltage in a capacitor. In a capacitor, the current flowing in it depends on the voltage difference across it. On AC, this makes it charge if the voltage is increasing above zero, and discharge if the voltage is reducing towards zero. Because a capacitor has almost no internal resistance, and most loads that it is connected to have only very small resistances in series with the capacitor, the charging and discharging currents depend pretty much on the rate at which the voltage is changing. At the zero crossing point of the sine-wave, when the voltage is actually zero, the rate of change of voltage is very high (the sine-wave is at its steepest), so the current is also very high. If the voltage is positive-going, the current is positive, and if the voltage is negative-going, the current is negative. At the peak of the voltage waveform, the rate of change of voltage is zero or very low (the sine-wave is just about flat, and not really changing its voltage) so the current is zero, too. Since the maximum positive current occurs when the voltage is passing through zero, going positive, and the maximum negative current happens when the voltage is passing through zero, going negative, the current peaks happen 90 degrees before the voltage peaks, so the current is said to lead the voltage. This is the same as saying the voltage lags the current by 90 degrees.
What is the Location of medium voltage switch gear?
A medium voltage switch gear is on the low voltage side of the transformer. This medium voltage switch is very cost efficient as well.
What the effect of switch on the no load transformer?
specially for high voltage operation
What is function of snubber circuit?
capable of resetting the transformer as well as eliminating leakage inductance voltage spike across the switch
What is the function of polarized capacitor?
Polar capacitor used in those places where the voltage will never switch polarity on them under proper use conditions. Their high capacitance means they can be used more effectively for power supply filtering, reducing ripple in a rectifier, and softening on/off switching.
What is a voltage time base generator?
I believe you are referring to a piece of test equipment also known as a "function generator." It generates a voltage equal to some function of time. The most basic models will produce sine, square, and sawtooth waves at different frequencies, but the more expensive models will do all kinds of waves. these voltage time base generators are those which are used to generate voltage linearly with time. by using the transistor as a switch and using a capacitor we can get the ramp out put. here the working would be the capacitor charging when the transistor is off and discharging when the transistor is on. the discharging time is very less compared to the charging time. when the capacitor charges voltage across it increases exponentially and we get a wave which increases linearly with time.
What is the function of starter switch?
To send electrical voltage to the starter when engaged.
What if you applied 14400 volts to a 7200 volt transformer?
In simple terms, it’ll basically blow up and ruin the transformer. An easy rule of thumb if you're working with a dual voltage transformer and not sure of the line voltage is to set your transformer on 14.4 before heating up and check voltage. If you’re only getting half voltage on your hot legs, open up the circuit and switch it back to 7200 and heat it back up. It’s okay to send 7200 volts into a 14,400 transformer but not the other way around.
To moderate the high voltage of currents entering a house from power lines a is used?
transformer YES but transmission is 475kv and distribution is 16kv and finally one phase out of a transformer on a pole or on the ground. An electric switch yard will have transformers to reduce to distribution voltage.
Why we need output capacitor in buck converter?
I've been looking at them for a bit wondering the same question. I believe: When the switch is closed, the inductor will have a high resistance, limiting power directly from the main power source. During this time, the capacitor will be delivering voltage to the output. When the switch is open, the inductor will power the output while recharging the capacitor. From what i get it's not *necessary*, but does even out the voltage considerably. Maybe someone has a better answer...
What is the purpose of a transformer?
It steps down voltage by moving the iron core spacing. Mostly using on high current welding transformer. Easy to achieve changing output voltageand does not need to use high power selector to switch voltage
Is transformation a change?
A: It is a transformer that has one or more leads wire output so switch can be used to change the output voltage from a reference wire.
What is the use of tap changing switch?
To make minor adjustments to the transformer's turns ratio in order to slightly increase or decrease the secondary voltage in order to maintain that voltage within legal requirements. Off-load tap changers, as the name implies, can only be operated when the transformer is disconnected.
