Some halogen bulbs run on 50 v, others run on other lower or higher voltages (I have one that runs on 240 v). You have to match the bulb and the supply.

Is 900 volts a lot?

Define "a lot".The US National Electrical Code considers anything below 100 volts to be "low voltage" and anything above that to be "high voltage" and treats them separately, if that helps. In practice, most "low voltage" applications are primarily for carrying signals and typically operate in the 1-12 volt range and occasionally up to around 50V ("phantom power" for microphones).


Why is there only 40 to 50V across the hot and neutral wires in the 3-wire cable supplying a wall-mounted bathroom light fixture when the old fixture worked fine and all connections are tight?

== == == == You may have a bad hot or a bad neutral, or both. This circuit should be protected by a GFCI and is covered in the NEC Code Book.In many localities (Towns/States) there are now wiring code requirements for a bath sink light to be GFCI protected.LIFE SAFETY WARNING! [disclaimer]Electricity is dangerous!You can be injured or killed!Improper installations can cause fire, injury and death!Should you be doing this yourself?)This is one of those questions - if you know this little, you shouldn't be doing what you are doing...No disrespect intended, but this is SO basic that it suggests you have not studied the subject at all!There are many good reference books and course books to study from.Troubleshooting is the height of the art.The only reason there is "not enough voltage" somewhere is because there is apartially open connection providing resistance and a location to allow a voltage drop [bad splice, bad switch, bad breaker, broken wire, burned splice, ...].It is the knowledge of how electricity works, and of the methods and materials used to create a functional wiring system, that enables a skilled troubleshooter to locate the problem and repair it.Where should the "voltage" be, and how does it get there?When you understand that, you will understand what is keeping it from getting where it should be...Happy hunting! As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


How do you convert 230 VAC to 30 VDC?

With a power supply that takes 230 vac and converts it into 48 vdc. Depending on power requirements, the typical power supply contains a transformer to step down to an appropriate lower voltage, a rectifier to convert to pulsating DC, a filter to smooth the ripples out, and a regulator to fine tune to output voltage. In higher power applications, there might be no transformer. Instead there is a rectifier to produce high voltage DC, followed up by a switching power charge pump, which is modulated by the regulator to produce varying duty cycle pulsating DC into a large inductor, producing the DC. The switching power supply is very efficient, minimizing losses across the regulator, at the cost of more complexity. Most, if not all, modern computer power supplies are of the switching type and, even though they are more complex, they are cheaper to build and operate.

What size capacitor can i replace a 1000uf 50v with if i don't have the exact one. i am working on a project and it calls for 1000uf 50v cap. I know i need 50v plus but can i use 1200uf 50v or 2000uf?

You can use a larger capacitor (more uF) in the decoupling or smoothing parts of the circuit, but not in anything that is used to control the frequency response, but that is unlikely.

When capacitors ate connected in series the capacitance increase or decrease?

Capacitors in connected in series result in a higher voltage rating, but lower capacitance. Two 470uF 50V capacitors connected in series will give you a total of 235uF, but you can put up to 100V across the series combination. Two 470uF 50V capacitors connected in parallel will give you a total of 940uF, across which you can put 50V (the voltage rating does not change for capacitors in parallel).
