What is the decibel loss of a signal that loses half its power during the course of transmission?

When the power (energy) is dropped to the value of 50 percent, the decibel loss is 3 dB, but the voltage is dropped to the value of 70.1 percent. Power drop to 50 % means -3 dB; that is 70.1 % voltage drop. Power drop to 25 % means -6 dB; that is 50 % voltage drop.


When testing a 3 phase generator with a pure resistive load bank why do you sometimes get different amperages like 10 to 20 amps different on a 60KW unit?

Either the load is changing or there is something wrong with the testing method or there is no voltage regulation and the voltage is varying wildly.

How many amps will 14 gauge wire carry at 200ft?

A #14 copper wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 15 amps. To answer your question for voltage drop at 200 feet a voltage needs to be stated. Assuming the voltage of 120 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #6 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent. Assuming the voltage of 240 is used to maintain 15 amps at the distance of 200 feet a #10 copper conductor will limit the voltage drop to less that 3 percent.


The characteristics of ideal power supply?

some are: 1.) zero output impedance. 2.) perfect voltage regulation, especially no voltage over/undershoot with stepped loads. 3.) over-current protection by hard limiting or fold-back. Others may have different opinions or preferences.


What is the acceptable percentage of voltage acceptable variance that most appliances will accept?

When doing voltage drop calculations the voltage to the connected devices should not drop below 3 % of the supplied voltage. <<>> "Most" appliances? that a tough one there is no standard. A few percent is no trouble, different appliances have different tolerances: no generalizations are possible.


How do you reduce a ripple voltage?

You reduce ripple voltage by adding a low-pass filter. In the simplest case, you put a capacitor after the rectifier. The peak voltage will be the rectifier output voltage less the forward bias of the rectifier, while the minimum voltage will depend on current and capacitance. In a more complex case, you could use an LC filter, making the peak voltage smaller. Specifics are dependent on the power and performance requirements.

What size wire needed with a 100 amp load 250 feet away?

The question is one of voltage loss. The goal is to have enough ampacity in the selected conductors to run the maximum load with only 3 percent voltage drop, caused by the resistance inherent in the wires. Plug your numbers into a voltage drop calculator online and see what pops out. At 120 volts you would get 3.1 percent drop using 3/0 wire. At 240 volts you could drop down three sizes to #1 AWG for 3.1 percent at max load, or 1/0 size for 2.5 percent drop at max load. Assuming copper wire at normal conditions of temperature.
