How do you convert low frequency to high frequency with a circuit?

You typically create a DC power supply from the low frequency, and use that to run a high frequency oscillator and amplifier. If there needs to be a relationship between frequency in and frequency out, often there is a divider running on the high frequency side in combination with a phase locked loop synching up to the low frequency side.


What is meant by free running frequency in phase locked loop?

The VCO is a special type of oscillator that has a frequency controlled by an applied voltage.The frequency of the VCO without any control signal applied is called the free running frequency.


Why is it important for the switch of the circuit to be open at the start of an activity?

If you mean by activity, working on an electrical circuit, then it is for safety reasons that a switch is opened. Most companies now use a proper lock out procedure so that everyone is aware that the circuit has been locked out. If more than one person is working on the circuit each person is required to have their own personal lock on the open switch.


What is a switchgear room?

A switchgear room is a room in a building which contains switchgear. It is typically a locked room in the ground floor of a building where the service enters the property. It would usually contain the supply authority's meters and the main protective devices (fuses, breakers) for the building's electrical installation. The room should not be used for storage or any other use.A different answerA switchgear room is an enclosed space - within an electrical power generating station or substation - in which are located high-voltage circuit breakers, protective relays, battery supplies, etc. The types of circuit breakers located inside switchgear rooms are indoor types and not suitable for locating in the substation compound. In the UK, these types of circuit breaker are typically metal-clad 11-kV oil circuit breakers (OCBs), and are supplied from primary (33/11-kV) transformers located in the substation compound and, themselves, supplied from outdoor-type 33-kV circuit breakers in the same compound.


Where isolators are placed in substation?

An isolator is a non load-breaking switch, and is provides a visible means of isolating a component, such as a circuit breaker, transformer, etc., from the high-voltage lines, whenever it is necessary to perform maintenance of that component. Normally, isolators come in pairs, with one on each side of the component to be isolated. Isolators are only opened afterthe load current has been broken using a circuit breaker, and must be closed before the circuit breaker is reclosed.To work on, say, a h.v. circuit breaker, the breaker must be tripped, the isolators on either side must be opened and locked off, temporary earths attached to either side of the circuit breake- to-work card, detailing the maintenance work, must be issued to the crew by the supervising engineer.

Application of flip flop as a frequency doubler?

One way of using a flip flop as a frequency doubler is to create an oscillator at the desired doubled frequency, and then divide by two with the flip flop, resulting in the original frequency, and then controlling the oscillator with a phase locked loop.

Why PLL better than VCO?

A PLL is different than a VCO. Each has its own use. Actually a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) contains a VCO (Voltage controlled oscillator). A VCO is an oscillator whose frequency is related to an input voltage. You can use it when you need a varying frequency that is controlled by a varying voltage. But it is not great at outputting a consistant exact voltage because it is very sensitive to its environment (e.g. temperature). A PLL will "lock" its output frequency to some input frequency. So it can oscillate at a frequency that is controlled by an input oscillator. Not too useful if the output frequency is the same as the input. But the output frequency can be divided before it is compared to the input. This allows the output frequency to be higher (some multiple of) the input frequency. Once a PLL is "locked on" to an input frequency it can be very stable.

Can a circuit breaker be locked in the on position to stop inadvertent switch offs?

No, this isn't necessary. The circuit breaker protects your home by avoiding an overcharging caused by a short-circuit. It's advisable blocking the access to the breaker.


What equipment uses a crystal oscillator in its operation?

Your quartz watch, your cell phone, all electronics that uses a computer inside. The quartz crystal forms the time base for the digital pulses. Crystal oscillators are also used in radio receivers and transmitters to provide accuracy in frequency selection. In a transmitter it provides the exitation frequency. In the receiver it provides the local oscillator in a superhetrodyne setup. Multifrequency devices (tunable and channelised radio) take the local oscillator and multiply and divide it, to provide a comparison frequency for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO is then controlled by a Phase Locked Loop (PLL) which holds the required frequency very accurately.

What do you do with the toolbox on Game Show Island?

The toolbox (which is on the roof of the beauty parlor) is only used once or twice. It contains the screwdriver you need to: -- open the circuit breaker at the factory left of Main Street (fix the conveyer belt by restoring power at the top of the elevator) -- open the locked door at the upper right of the Nightclub (after you see a figure in the vents, go outside and use the fan to fly up to the locked door)


How do you de-energize a circuit?

To de-energize a circuit, the voltage has to be cut off at the source. This is usually done with a disconnect switch which is located just before the circuit's load. Turning off the breaker on a distribution panel will de-energize the circuit it is feeding. To make sure that the voltage can not be turned back on when work is being done on the circuit, the switch or breaker must have a lock off device to prevent the circuit from being turned on, except by the person that locked the circuit off.
