Can you replace a 47UF 160v capacitor on your tv with a 100UF 160V?
That depends what circuit it is in. If it is in a sweep circuit (vertical/horizontal) no because it will change the frequency of the circuit. If it is in a power supply circuit, probably yes becuase it is probable only being used as a filter. BUT if that leg of the power circuit supplies a sweep circuit, no.
Disadvantage of using printed circuit board?
When comparing them to breadboards and stripboards: Advantages - it is a permanent method of producing a circuit - they are custom made so can be very small - they can be mass produced and so economical Disadvantages - can't be modified once printed (has to be completely re-designed) - can't change components
How do you replace a 15 amp circuit to a 25 amp circuit?
You have to rewire the circuit completely with 10 AWG wire and replace all outlets and switches with devices rated at 25 Amps. Note 25 Amp breaker is an unusual size. 10 AWG will go up to 30 amps, and that would be the way to go.
How do circuit breaker keep the wires in a electrical circuit from overheating?
A circuit breaker is designed to 'break' in a circuit if a short circuit (or other malfunction) occurs. This prevents overheating (or burn-out) of the circuit wires. In older systems, you would need to find which fuse wire has fused and replace it. In a circuit breaker, once the fault has been found and corrected, the breaker is simply switched back on.
Why are fuse's important?
A fuse(s) or circuit breaker(s) is needed in any electrical system (AC or DC). These protection devices react to the amount of heat being produced by electricity passing through wires and/or components. They are used so as to protect wires and components from the extreme heat produced should there be an electrical overload or short circuit. When a short or overload occurs, the amps being drawn spike and this increases the heat produced in the wiring and components. When this occurs, a fuse or circuit breaker reacts almost instantly to stop the flow of electricity in the circuit and thereby stopping heat production. Without PROPERLY-SIZED FUSES OR CIRCUIT BREAKERS, this quick break in the circuit would not be possible, and damage to components and even FIRE could result. If you are having a problem with fuses "blowing" or breakers "tripping," please know that these devices are doing their job! It is important that you NOT replace a fuse or breaker with a higher-rated one. Check the circuit for shorts or overloads. Bare wires touching each other, as well as having too many appliances on a circuit is dangerous and will cause fuses to blow and breakers to trip. The wiring in your home or business is sized for a specific amperage. Increasing the size of protection devices will cause your elecrical system to not be protected adequately. Branch circuits feeding lights and 120 volt recepticles should have only a 15 amp or 20 amp protection device, depending on the wire size. If you cannot locate the overload or short, keep the power to the circuit OFF and contact a qualified electrican.
What is the name of a single chip containing many electrical components that can replace the whole systems of separate components?
Integrated circuit
How does Soldering Tools help you with troubleshooting?
A soldering tool can be used to replace faulty components on the computers circuit board.
When a fuse blows?
When a fuse blows, you should replace the fuse and check to see what might have caused it to blow. It's a sign that there might be something causing too much current to flow in the circuit.
What component can replace entire circuit?
Integrated circuit
Can you replace 1 amp fuse with a 5 amp fuse?
No, the one amp fuse is the recommendation of the manufacturer of the circuit. By replacing it with a fuse five times larger will default the warranty placed on the equipment by the manufacturer. Where one amp will do no damage to the circuit, five amps could destroy the components that are connected in the circuit.
Can you replace a 20 amp circuit breaker with a 25 amp circuit breaker?
No. The breaker must protect the circuit components such as wiring, outlets and switches that are connected to the breaker. Therefore if you have a 30 amp circuit as dictated by its components you need to protect it with a 30 amp or less breaker.
When fuse blows?
When a fuse blows, you should replace the fuse and check to see what might have caused it to blow. It's a sign that there might be something causing too much current to flow in the circuit.
What can be done to fix a pantech breakout when it wont charge or turn on?
It depends on what caused the device to not power on. The battery could be damaged. Replace the battery. The charging unit could be damaged. Replace the charging unit or find the damaged component and replace it. The charging connector could be damaged. Replace the circuit board or find the damaged component and replace it. The power button could be damaged. Replace the circuit board or find the damaged component and replace it. Something could have fried the circuit board. Replace the circuit board or find the damaged component and replace it.
What advantaged does a circuit breaker have compared with a fuse?
You can reset a circuit breaker but a fuse you must replace.
Can you replace a 2000 A Circuit breaker with 3150 A rating?
No.
What do you do if tail light keeps burning out?
It's probably moisture that's causing the problem. Next time you replace the bulb, try coating the connectors with dielectric grease. If that doesn't help, then there might be a short somewhere in the circuit.
Why 1995 neon runs rough in rain?
Water: causing your ignition to short out. Replace your cap, rotor, plugs and wires. If that doesn't stop the problem, use di-electric grease to keep water out of any ignition components.
