What is advantages-of-parallel operation of transformer?

It enables an existing transformer to be upgraded to meet an increase in load, without having to remove that transformer and replace it with a 'larger' (expressed in volt amperes) one. It provides an useful way of using up a stock of smaller transformers.


How do current clamp on amp meters work?

clamp is an electrical device having two jaws which open to allow clamping around an electrical conductor. This allows properties of the electric current in the conductor to be measured, without having to make physical contact with it, or to disconnect it for insertion through the probe.


What is the current in 1KVA Transformer?

Tis question is incompleet.1000 va =1 kva.This is the power capacity of transformer. A transformer having 2 currents Primary current and secondary current . for that we required both voltage. Simply we can calculate by a formula Voltage x Current x 0.8(power factor)=1000.


What will happen if a voltmeter has a low shunt resistance instead of having high shunt resistance?

The purpose of a voltmeter is to indicate the potential difference between two points in a circuit.When a voltmeter is connected across a circuit, it shunts the circuit. If the voltmeter has a low resistance,it will draw a substantial amount of current. This action lowers the effective resistance of the circuit andchanges the voltage reading.

If the voltage is 12 volts and the resistance is 3 ohms what are the amps in this circuit?

Using Ohm's law, we can find the current (I) in a circuit where 3 ohms is the resistance (R) and 12 volts is the appllied voltage (V). [(E) means energy]I = V / R = 12 / 3 = 4 amps.Visit this link http://www.csgnetwork.com/ohmslaw2.html for making Ohm's Law calculations.


What is the voltage source of a circuit having a resistance of 16 ohms and drawing a current of 4.3 amperes?

According to ohms law... V=I * R So from the given values V = 4.3*16 = 68.8 Volts


What is meant by energy meter having ct ratio 5?

A CT, or current transformer, has a specified current ratio. The 5 in your question is the current supplied to the metering instrument at full scale. CT's current ratio is always full scale to 5, for instance - 200:5, 3000:5, etc.So, if a CT has a ratio of, say, 1000:5, this means when the conductor being measured is supplying 1000 amperes to the load, the CT will output 5 amperes to the instrumentation. The relationship is linear, so if the current is 500 amperes, the output will be 2.5 amperes, at 200 amperes the output will be 1 ampere, etc.This is done so the instrument can be designed always the same, with a 5 ampere input, no matter what size current is to be measured. Otherwise you would have to order (and manufacture) many different models of meter, one for each current range.The metering must be set, or programmed, with the CT multiplier, so it knows how much current is really flowing when it sees 5 amperes on the input.Similarly, we use PT's or potential transformers to reduce higher system voltages to a range that the instrument can also handle.


You want to take 25ams output you are having 16 Nos of 12V 8Ah batteries do you have to connect batteries in series of parallel connection?

Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.

Three resistors having a value of 10 omes each are connected in series to a 300 volts power source what is the total resistance of this circit?

Three resistors having a value of 10 ohms each, when connected in series, have a total effective value of 30 ohms, even if they're wrapped in tissue, stuffed into a box, and stored in the back of your sock drawer. What, if anything, they're connected to makes no difference. If you take the series string of three resistors out of the box and connect it to the terminals of a 300-volts power source, then the string will conduct a current of 10 Amperes. Each resistor will dissipate 1,000 watts and heat rapidly, until the first one either melts or explodes, whereupon the series circuit will open and the flow of current will cease.
