Is a 60 amp breaker correct for a 10 kw 220 heat strip?
10 kW at 220v will use 45.45 Amps. I'd recommend a 60A circuit, with a 60A breaker, but the heater or electric furnace should have "maximum fuse amps" rated on its nameplate. Above all, neverconnect wiring to a breaker that is rated higher than the maximum current capacity of the wire. In the case of 60A, use #6 AWG wire.The HVAC Veteran
How are electromagnets used in toasters?
The latch release in the toaster is held shut by an electromagnet. In modern toasters this is achieved by driving the electromagnet with a timing circuit . The timing circuit stays live until a capacitor reaches maximum charge, and then as the current dies, the magnetic field dies and the electromagnet releases the toast carriage, which is returned by a spring to eject the toast. In older toasters, the electromagnet current was released by the motion of a bimetallic strip breaking the current.
How do you calculate amp draw if you have a 25KW strip heater?
Divide 25,000 by the supply voltage to get the current.

How do you drop 24dc to 12 dc i want to install a strip of flexible LED lights in a vending machine and can only find them in 12v dc but only have a 24v dc power supply on the machine?
Buy two strips and install them in series. Measure the current through one strip at 12 volts. Divide 12 by that current to get ohms. Install a resistor of that resistance in series with the strip. Calculate the required power by multiplying 12 by the current, and make sure the resistor can handle that amount of power.
What is the problem in using a strip of metal or any other piece of wire in place of a fuse?
The fuse is made to blow at a set amperage to protect the wire from overheating. Using anything but the fuse may cause the circuit to work but could most certainly cause the wiring to overheat and burn if it is overloaded.
How do you calculate the maximum input current at 120VRMS for an Avalon VT-737SP channel strip?
To calculate the maximum input current for an Avalon VT-737SP channel strip at 120 VRMS, you first need to determine the input impedance of the device, which is typically around 10 kΩ. Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), you would divide the voltage (120 VRMS) by the impedance (10,000 ohms). This gives you a maximum input current of approximately 0.012 A, or 12 mA. Always refer to the specific device's manual for exact specifications and ensure safe operating conditions.
Why put earthed strip between a circuit and the circuit board?
An earthed strip is a low resistance strip. as we know that a current always flows along a path which is having the least resistance.Whenever a fault current flows through the circuit and a possiblity is there that it may damage the ckt & ckt board the earth strip allows the fault current to flow through it and ground it. thereby preventing the damage.
A device that contains a thin strip of metal that will melt if there is too much current through it?
A fuse has a metal strip that melts and opens a circuit if the current becomes too great.
How do I calculate kg per m for length for copper strip?
Measure the mass (in kilograms) and length (in metres) of the strip. Divide the first by the other.
Why relating number on the fuse with the width of the metal strip in the fuse?
The number on a fuse indicates its current rating, which corresponds to the maximum amount of electrical current the fuse can safely handle before it blows. This rating is directly related to the width and thickness of the metal strip inside the fuse; a wider and thicker strip can carry more current without overheating. If the current exceeds this limit, the metal strip heats up and melts, breaking the circuit to protect the electrical system from damage. Thus, the dimensions of the metal strip are crucial for ensuring the fuse operates as intended.
If I want to know the amperage for each outlet on a power strip can I simply divide the total amps by the number of outlets?
If you want to know the amperage for each outlet on a power strip then check the nameplate current on the device that is plugged into that outlet on the power strip. Power strips usually have their own breaker that will trip at 15 amps. If you load the strip to its maximum capacity there is a good chance that it will trip before the distribution circuit breaker will trip. You can not simply divide the total amps by the number of outlets as each device will have a different amperage and depending on where it is plugged into the strip these amperage's in a set position will change.
What is a device that contains a thin strip of metal that melts if there is too much current though it?
A device that contains a thin strip of metal that melts when there is too much current is called a fuse. It serves as a safety mechanism in electrical circuits, preventing excessive current from damaging devices or causing fires. When the current exceeds a certain threshold, the metal strip heats up and melts, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. This protects the system by ensuring that the current remains within safe limits.
The electric light incredible as it may appear is produced from a tiny strip of paper that breath would blow away Through this tiny strip of a paper is passed an electric current and the result?
The electric light is produced by passing an electric current through a tiny strip of paper coated with a light-emitting material. When the current flows through the strip, it excites the material, causing it to emit light. This process of converting electrical energy into light is how electric lights work.
