Best Answer

Input voltage is zero-offsetted, such as 1-5 volts, 4-20 millamps, etc. in order to detect the condition of transmitter or connection failure. Otherwise, you might not be able to differentiate between instrument zero and instrument failure.

What will happen if you use a 14 volt output in a 12 volt input?

Shouldn't be a problem. For example the unloaded voltage on a car battery is often around 14 Volts. Under load the voltage reduces.

How do you find voltage across capacitors in a serial parallel circuit?

Voltage across all parallel capacitor's is same i.e. it is equal to supply voltage, it can be measured using digital volt meter (any high input impedance volt meter). When capacitors are in series; voltage drop depends on charge stored in the capacitor. it can be given by the formula V x V = 2 / (joules x capacitance). This voltage can also be measured using digital volt meter.


How do you test a stick welder transformer?

This could be dangerous if you aren't very careful. Take the transformer out of the welding machine. Put it on a wooden bench. Apply 12 volts to the input side with a car battery. Measure the input volts with a volt meter and write down the value. Then use your volt meter to measure the output voltage. If you have no output voltage then your transformer is obviously blown. You should read an output voltage that is higher than the input voltage based on the number of winding in the coil and/or the manufacturers specifications. According to Faraday's law the only output voltage you will read is at the exact time power is applied to or taken away from the input when using dc power. Otherwise you will have to apply ac power which is much more powerful ( and more dangerous ) than the 12v dc. Your volt meter may not be designed to read high enough voltage for the output you would see with 110 v ac.


What is ripple voltage in 12 volt power supply?

A: Ripple is a residual voltage evident as voltage following the AC input frequency. The ripple magnitude is a function of not enough of both filtering capacitance or overloading the output. Increasing capacitance will reduce the ripple or reducing the loading

It's the voltage required for something to work. Cars usually have 12 volt electrical systems, so every electric consumer in a car, lights, radio etc needs a 12 V input voltage.

Can you run 110 volts saftely through a 277 volt ballast?

No, by reducing the input voltage by half the output voltage will also be reduced and will not have enough voltage to operate the fixture it is connected to.

Will a low voltage light work on 50 volts of power?

The input voltage must match (within a few percent) the rated voltage of the light. If you're using a 12 volt light, a 50 volt supply will destroy it within seconds. "low voltage" is not sufficient information to help you answer your question.


Find the output voltage of an amp whose input voltage is 0.05 volt and db gain is 35 db?

db gain is defined as power gain, not voltage gain. Please restate you question in terms of power, or provide details of input and output impedance.


What are the principles of voltage reduction in auto transformer?

A: Transformers are designed with a turn ratio of 1:xxx the ratio can be 1.001 for instance then 1 volt input will transform into 1milli volt out that is the basics

Can a 115 volt icemaker be plugged into a 110 volt receptacle outlet?

There is no problem with that voltage. As long as the voltage is plus or minus 5% of the nominal voltage of 115 volts it is considered to be in the 120 volt range. Even though there is only a 110 volt potential at the outlet it is still rated to a voltage of 120 volts maximum. The second consideration is the amperage of the icemaker. Most 120 volt receptacles are rated at 15 amps and are fed with a #14 wire that is rated at 15 amps. As long as the icemaker does not draw more amperage than the receptacle is rated for the connection will be fine. If the icemaker draws more that 15 amps the breaker will trip.
