What is the reason for putting a voltage rating on resistors?
AnupamaSJoshi
Due to the physical construction and size of the resistor, at a certain voltage, the insulation will break down and the applied voltage will arc over. This is generally bad. Operating the resistor within its voltage rating will prevent this failure mode.

What is rated voltage in transformer?
A: A transformer will transform the AC input to a low or hi output as required by a ratio of input to output. The power will be expressed a KVA or kilo volts to ampere ratio. It also will have a rating of maximum voltage for the simple reason of winding to winding insulation and primary to secondary isolation because if breakdown occurs the transformer will burn out promptly.
What is the reason for ferranti effect?
Ferranti Effect causes the receiving end voltage to be more than the sending end voltage. It occurs mainly in long transmission lines when they are lightly loaded. In this condition, the inductance of the lines becomes more resulting in increased receiving end voltage.
Ac voltage applied across a load resistance produce alternating current?
The reason an AC voltage applied across a load resistance produces alternating current is because when you have AC voltage you have to have AC current. If DC voltage is applied, DC current is produced.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of such high voltage?
voltage is termed as electrical pressure. when high voltage is applied more is the movement of electrons. hence losses will be less. this is one of the major reason for which high voltage transmission is chosen.secondly due to high voltage the current will be less so as the conductor size
What is reason for armature over voltage in 450 kw dc motors?

What happens if you use a fuse that's overrated for voltage but has the correct current rating?
Using a fuse correctly rated for current but "overrated" for voltage does not present a problem. Current ratings are critical safety issues, and fuses should be replaced with those of the same current rating. But using a fuse with an identical current rating but a higher voltage rating is not a problem. The reason for that lies in what the voltage rating of a fuse is. Fuses are given a voltage rating to state a maximum voltage in a circuit that they are designed to protect. And the voltage rating has nothing to do with the "normal" operation of the fuse. The fuse carries current when it operates normally, but when something happens and excessive current flows, the fusible link heats up and opens. This is where the voltage rating comes into play. It is possible that a fuse can arc through when it fails. It is the voltage rating that stands in the way of this. As long as the voltage rating of a circuit is not beyond the voltage rating of the fuse, that fuse will fail safely when it fails. It is acceptable to use a fuse of an equal current rating but a higher voltage rating when replacing a fuse that has failed.
Why are lamps connected in parallel?
If lamps were connected in series, if one light blew out, the entire system would shut down.Although this is true, the main reason is that, by connecting each lamp in parallel with each other, each is subject to the same voltage*. And the power rating of a lamp only applies when it is subjected to its rated voltage.(*The voltage across each branch of a parallel circuit is identical.)
Why would a heater fan only work on high in a 2001 Lincoln Town Car?
Blower motor resistor is right, reason; The resistor is composed of three individual coils to control current flow. when one of the coils burn out. The current bypasses these resistors and only flows from battery voltage, to motor, to ground......
What is red g light on 1974 super beetle?
That is the "turn your engine off RIGHT NOW and go look at it" light. Officially it's the alternator light; if the alternator stops putting out voltage it comes on. The usual reason VW alternators stop putting out voltage is the drive belt breaks. On the other end of the alternator shaft from the belt is your cooling fan...and as hot as these engines run, if that belt breaks your motor will melt in about a minute.
What is the reason for bulb becoming dim when connected in series?
the voltage across it is reduced, the voltage is shared with other bulbs

Why resistance connected in parallel to current source?
A Discussion has been started about this question. Click on the View Discussion button below to take part in it.The "type" of a source does not limit in what ways resistors can be connected to it. Resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a voltage source.Similarly, resistors can be connected either in series or in parallel - or in a combination of series and parallel - across a current source.

Powertrain Control Module plus BB Voltage Low?
Low plus bb voltage to the Power Train Module means that for some reason the voltage actually is too low. Check the battery an alternator for the proper voltage output.
