The solenoid with repeatedly close and open. Perhaps more rapidly than designed and then overheat and become damaged.

How does a contactor energise?

Contactors have movable contacts in them which are operated by the action of the solenoid that they are attached too. This solenoid is basically an electromagnet with a spring that resets the contacts to the open position when current is removed from the solenoid's coil/windings. When an electrical current is fed through the coil of the solenoid it creates a magnetic field; the force of the field is stronger than the opposing force of the restting spring thus the moving part of the solenoid which has the contacts attached to it, moves down completing the electrical circuit. Contactors are usually used in cases where the voltages and currents levels to be used are way beyond the capacity of a normal switch. A common example would be as a direct on line starter for a large electrical motor, which usually have large starting current of up to 5-8 times the run current of the motor. It is also important to note that voltage used to energize the contactors coil can be much smaller than the actual voltage be conveyed by the contacts which feed the electrical load.

How is this energy source collected and turned into useable energy?

Solar energy is collected using solar panels made of photovoltaic cells. These cells convert sunlight into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The electricity generated is then fed into an inverter, which converts it from direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC), making it usable for powering homes and buildings.


How are solar cells used?

A group of cells (normally a number divisible by 36) is grouped together to form a solar panel. These solar panels put out a direct current which, in turn is fed into an inverter that converts this energy into alternating current which can be used to run modern electric devices.


How does solar energy transfer to electricity?

Solar energy is captured by solar panels using photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, which can be used to power homes and businesses. This electricity can also be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid for later use.


What is the current yield on the 10-year Treasury bond according to the St. Louis Fed data?

The current yield on the 10-year Treasury bond, based on data from the St. Louis Fed, is approximately 1.5.


How a brush type 3 phase alternator works?

A pair of slip rings on the rotor carries current from the stationary brushes to the rotor windings in order to establish a magnetic field. As the alternator rotates, the magnetic field sweeps across the stator windings inducing an electric current in these windings. This current is an alternating current which is rectified via diodes and passed out of the alternator by means of the battery lead and (usually) the grounded alternator case. The battery voltage is sensed and used to vary the amount of current fed to the rotor in order to adjust the amount of current generated.


What is a pathway in which the products of one reacction is fed into another reaction?

The pathway in which the products of one reaction is fed into another reaction could be Metabolic Pathways. These are a series of reactions that happen inside of a cell.


What is a device that that produces electric current by rotating a coil of wire in a magnetic field?

A generator or alternator. If the magnetic field is permanent, the current produced from the coil will be alternating current. AC. Alternators usually work the other way round. The magnet is spun inside a coil of wire. The power is taken off from the stator. The rotor is an electromagnet, fed via slip rings on the shaft. The strength of the magnet can be varied and controlled externally, to control the output voltage.


What type of current produced in alternator?

Alternators usually produce AC current but in an automobile the current is fed through diodes which coverts it to DC power that the car can use.


What is meant by mutual inductance?

Mutual inductance is where two electrically separate coils of wire are either close to each other or share the same core. An alternating current flowing in one of the coils will 'induce' a current to flow in the other coil. For example by using coils wound with wire of the correct length and thickness, a transformer fed by mains electricity can by mutual inductance, produce a lower voltage to power your PC or radio.CommentMutual inductance occurs when a changing current (a.c. or d.c.) flowing in one coil induces a voltage (not a current!) into a second coil.
