What else can I help you with?
Is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy?
The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.
What causes 3-phase motors to heat up?
It is not only 3 phase motor, but every electrical device heats up. The reason is the current flowing through the windings causes the I^2*R heat loss. Apart from that, in case of an induction motor, the alternate cycle of magnetization and demagnetization of core material causes the hysterisis loss and eddy current loss. Last but not the least, there are friction and windage losses for a rotating electrical machine. All of these losses are dissipated as heat energy and hence the machine heats up.
When electrical energy is used what type of enegry is also produced to be waste energy?
When electrical energy is used, waste energy is often produced in the form of thermal energy or heat. This occurs due to inefficiencies in electrical devices and systems, where some energy is lost as heat during operation. Additionally, mechanical energy can also contribute to waste energy in systems involving moving parts, where friction generates heat. Overall, these forms of waste energy signify energy loss in the conversion and use processes.
Wires that do not have insulators there energy gets lost into the surroundings as?
Line loss, or heating of the wires. The insulators prevent the loss of energy.
What type of electrical bridge can be used for the measurement of dielectric loss of a capacitor?
Schering bridge
What is unwanted heat loss called in electricity?
Unwanted heat loss in electricity is called resistive loss or I2R loss, where I represents the current flowing through a device and R represents the resistance of the device. This type of energy loss occurs as heat when electrical current passes through a conductor with resistance.
What is copper loss?
Copper loss refers to the energy that is lost as heat when electric current passes through the winding of a transformer, motor, or other electrical device. This loss occurs due to the electrical resistance of the copper wire used in the windings, which causes energy to be dissipated as heat. Minimizing copper losses is important to improve the efficiency and performance of electrical devices.
What is the term used to describe loss of electrical energy in transit due to friction among atomic particles?
The term used to describe the loss of electrical energy in transit due to friction among atomic particles is called electrical resistance. This phenomenon results in the conversion of electrical energy into heat energy, leading to a decrease in the efficiency of electrical systems.
Why no power loss in pure inductance?
An inductor is a device which stores energy as a magnetic energy.... Ideal inductor have no resistance.....so there is no power loss.... power loss = (I*I)*R
What is the efficiency of a device that gives you 100 units of useful energy for every 100 units you put in it?
The efficiency of the device is 100%. This means that all the energy input into the device is converted into useful energy output without any loss.
Materials that allow electrical charges to pass through them without electrical resistance and without loss of energy are called?
Superconductors
What is the useful and wasted energy in an electrical iron?
In an electrical iron, the useful energy is the electrical energy that is converted into heat energy, which is used to press and remove wrinkles from clothing. The wasted energy in an electrical iron is primarily in the form of heat loss to the surrounding environment, as well as in the form of sound energy and electromagnetic radiation. Efficient design and insulation can help minimize wasted energy in an electrical iron.
What energy transfers take place when you watch TV?
The main input energy is electrical energy from mains or power sockets; that energy is transferred to light energy for the pictures, and also there is sound energy (For audio), and all these energy are converted right back at heat energy as there is always a loss of energy in every device.
What type of energy transformation occurs when a light bulb is on?
Electrical energy is transferred into light energy, however if the light bulb is an older one, some energy will also be transferred into heat loss.
What does power loss in electrical transmission mean?
The term, 'power loss', describes the rate of energy losses caused by the load current in the transmission lines
What do the insulators have in common?
Insulators are materials that resist the flow of electric current. They have high electrical resistance and are used to prevent the loss of energy through heat and to protect against electric shocks. Common insulating materials include rubber, glass, plastic, and porcelain.
What is loss load factor?
A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.
