>1000V rms AC

Answer

According to BS 7671:2008 Requirements for Electrical Installations, 'high voltage' is formally defined as that 'normally exceeding low voltage', where 'low voltage' is defined as "...(nominal voltages) exceeding extra-low voltage but not exceeding 1000 V a.c. (root mean square) or 1500 V d.c. between conductors, or 600 V a.c. (root mean square) or 900 V d.c. between conductors and earth".

What is a voltage transformer and mention its function?

A voltage transformer (known as a 'potential transformer' in North America) is classed as an instrument transformer. It is used to reduce the voltage across a high-voltage load to a value that can be read (usually remotely) by an ordinary a.c. voltmeter, while electrically isolating that voltmeter from the high-voltage system for the purpose of safety. It can also be used to supply an input to a protection relay.


What class is a transformer that converts 110 volts to 24 volts?

A transformer that reduces voltage is classed as a step down transformer.


What is meant by load in diesel generators?

Any device that uses the generator to supply its operating voltage is electrically classed as a generator load.


What are the difference between high voltage and low voltage?

Hi, The main difference is Fuel consumption. High current genertors always consumes much fuel because the load on the engine will be high. The high voltage low current generators doesn't need much fuel to run. You can understand this by comparing 1 kva and 5 kva single phase generators. For both generators voltage will be same (230v) But output current differs. So the fuel consumption also differs. But you get a high current source. Low voltage high current generators can be used for welding kind of stuffs which needs high current to do the job. If you have step down transformer then you can save the fuel.


What does inductive load effect on High Voltage transmission line?
