What else can I help you with?
What is device protection?
An example would be a SSP (SuperSandPorpoise)
What would be the most effective method to test a broken circuit?
Do a voltage test. Start at one end of the circuit and progress along device by device. If there is voltage on the down stream side of the device move on to the next. If there is no voltage on the down stream side of the device then go up stream of the device. If you have voltage there then the current device that you are at is the problem causing an open or broken circuit.
What is the device to break a circuit?
A switch is a device used to break a circuit. By opening the switch, the circuit is interrupted and electricity stops flowing. This allows for controlling the flow of electricity to different components in a circuit.
Why would an inverter overload a circuit?
The only way an Inverter could overload a circuit would be on the supply side. The fusing/protection for the inverter is incorrect.
What is a circuit that uses only one device?
A simple circuit that uses only one device would be a battery connected to an LED light. The battery provides power to the LED, causing it to light up. This type of circuit is commonly used in handheld flashlights.
Why are the live wire and neutral wire never joined together?
An electrical circuit forms a loop. The "live" or hot wire supplies the voltage, which is returned on the neutral. If the hot wire and neutral wire were connected together without a load between them, the circuit would be short out and trip the circuit's protection device.
Why would someone choose to wire a device in a parallel circuit?
to higher or lower the electricity.
What happens when one light bulb burns out in a series circuit?
All of the light bulbs in the series circuit would go out.
Why is a voltmeter not placed inside the circuit?
The voltmeter is connected parallel to the circuit in order to measure the voltage drop across that circuit or sub-circuit. If you were to connect the volmeter series to the circuit, since it is a high impedance device, it would represent an effective open-circuit condition. You would see the voltage available to the circuit, but the circuit would not receive its intended current and it would not function. Contrast this with the ammeter, which you do place series to the circuit in order to measure the current flow through the circuit.
If you wanted to limit the flow of an electrical current to one direction what device would you place in the circuit?
A diode.
Why is a closed circuit necessary for electricity to power our electronics?
A closed circuit is necessary for electricity to power our electronics because it allows the flow of electrons to complete a continuous loop, enabling the transfer of energy from the power source to the device. Without a closed circuit, the electrons would not be able to flow and the device would not receive the necessary power to function.
What size fuse should you use to protect a circuit carrying 6 amps?
A breaker or fuse in an electric panel is protecting the wire, outlets and switches that are part of the installed circuit. You could plug in an appliance that draws 6 amps and have a 15 A breaker protecting the circuit. The idea for protecting a specific device is to put in a fuse that blows before the current destroys the device. If your 6 Amp device would be destroyed by 6.1 amps then you want a 6 amp fuse. However, fuses aren't that precise so this would be hard to do. A rule of thumb is that the steady state current in a circuit is 80% of the over-current protection. In your case this would be 7.5 amps.
