Relation between voltage and RPM?

voltage depend on current and resistance r.p.m depend on no of pole


To moderate the high voltage of currents entering a house from power lines a is used?

transformer YES but transmission is 475kv and distribution is 16kv and finally one phase out of a transformer on a pole or on the ground. An electric switch yard will have transformers to reduce to distribution voltage.


Can you run a double pole 30 amp breaker to two 110 recepticles?

No, A double pole breaker is going to give you 220 volts. 220 Volts is too much voltage for a 110 Volt outlet to handle. == Answer== Better to pull the duplex 30a and install to single-pole 20a breakers...if one kicks out, you will know which side the problem's on. And there's no problem with running a 20a circuit over 10awg wire.


Can I get electrocuted touching an electric pole if I'm not grounded?

First off you should not be touching any high voltage source whether you are grounded or not. A pole isn't typically dangerous, it is the wires on the pole. A path to ground is required for a current to flow. Technicians working on high voltage power line often touch the lines and ensure they are not grounded when doing so, by using special procedures. That is why birds can sit on bare power lines without getting shocked.


Can I build a garage under high voltage power line The line comes across my 2 acres and ends with the transformer pole to my house. No other lines attached But is the high voltage line?

To be sure, you need to contact the utility. My guess from your description is this is not really deemed high voltage. It is most likely a distribution to sub transmission voltage (2.4kV - 69kV); If it were higher than this, it is very likely that the utility would have purchase agreements or own the property directly under the line for 30-80 feet either side. this is very typical in rural farming areas. The utility often allows farmers to farm right up to structures...but if anything goes wrong (such as a crop duster clips the line), the utility has every right to come in and grind the crops to dust in the process of repairing the line.

What is a pole transformer?

It is a type of transformer that you usually see hanging from a utility pole that feeds your house. It transforms the high transmission voltage down to the usable voltage that is used in the home.


What is the maximum voltage capacity of a 240V single pole breaker?

The maximum voltage capacity of a 240V single pole breaker is 240 volts.


What is the voltage from the hydro pole to the house?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service. 220V in US, supplied as two separate 110V feeds. Your circuit breaker panel supplies both to large 220 V appliances (stove, A/C) and 1 leg=110V to regular circuits.


What does a transformer between utility wires and your house do?

The transformer steps down the voltage from 600kilo volts which is what is at the power pole/lines to multiple strands of 120v or hot wires which is what your house runs off of.

Is 220V line voltage or phase voltage?

Phase, if you are referring to line, as power line from pole.


How much voltage should be in 2pole circuit breaker?

In America, a 2-pole breaker is controlling 240V. 120V per leg.


How you can find live and neutral pole in a ac supply?

The live pole carries the supply voltage and is usually colored brown or red. The neutral pole completes the circuit and is typically colored blue or black. Using a voltage detector or a multimeter set to AC voltage mode, you can identify the live wire by measuring the voltage between each wire and the ground, as the live wire will show a voltage level.


How many volts does a light pole produce?

Lamps do not produce electrical energy, they consume it. The voltage at a lamp depends on the voltage of the local supply. That can be switched on or off to each individual map, or groups of lamps if required.


Is 120v compatible with 115v?

In the United States the common house current is commonly referred to as either 115 volts or 120 volts. The voltage varies due to the distance from the transformer on the pole because electricity loses voltage the further it has to travel.
