How many watts is 2.2Kva?

Kva is approximately equatable to Kilowatts.So for 2.2Kva in a domestic setting you can say it is 2.2Kilowatts or 2200 watts.The reason it is approximate is that, this translation does not take account of power factor (PF),which becomes a serious problem if you are running many motors or fluorescent lights(usually seen in offices, looks like a tube) at the same time. This does not effect things that only heat things up, example: immersion heaters or your cooker.In your house you have very few large motors, 1 in washing machine, 1 in tumble dryer (and these generally won't be on at the same time), and you probably have very few fluorescent lights, as such you don't really need to consider the power factor. However if you did want to work it out then the Watts always goes up.In which case 2.2 Kva would generally translate as closer to 2300 watts. or somewhere between 1% and 10%. Please remember only for motors and fluorescent. Also some chargers for phones laptops etc, but these devices generally use way less Kva/KW and so the difference is negligible.If you are interested, a detailed explanation of Power Factor can be found on elsewhere on the web, however this is not light reading unless you have some electrical/science background.


Can 50 microamps light up any bulb?

No, 50 microamps (0.050 milliamps) is generally insufficient to light up a standard incandescent or LED bulb, which typically requires much higher current levels to operate. Most light bulbs need at least several hundred milliamps to produce visible light. However, certain specialized low-power LED indicators designed for very low current could potentially light up at that level, but they would be exceptions rather than the norm.


What does R mean in an electrical circuit?

it's generally the resistance. its generally the energy dissipiating component called Resistor


What you want to do in the coming months in maintenance?

Generally there is a maintenance schedule with what is to be done, when to be done, who to do in any good standard industry. Maintenance crew generally follow the schedule.


Why copper is used in electrical transmission line?

Copper is a good conductor and is fairly strong. It generally is not used in power transmission lines due to cost - generally aluminimum is used.

Which bulb lasts longer an incandescent light bulb or a compact fluorescent light bulb?

A regular incandescent bulb uses a lot more energy than a compact fluorescent to produce the same amount of light. Most energy used by an incandescent bulb is wasted as heat which does not give off visible light. Incandescent bulbs are cheaper to buy, but they have shorter lifetimes than other alternatives.


Do fluorescent bulbs get hot?

Fluorescent bulbs produce less heat compared to incandescent bulbs, so they generally do not get as hot during operation. However, they can still become warm to the touch after being on for an extended period of time.


Which has a longer life an LED or an incandescent light bulb?

It depends entirely on the bulbs being compared. There are some very bright fluorescent bulbs. In some Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFL) they take longer to get to full brightness. Also the frequency of the light emitted has a lot to do with the brightness the eye perceives.


Are compact fluorescent bulbs cool to the touch?

Compact fluorescent bulbs do produce some heat, but they are cooler to the touch compared to incandescent bulbs. The heat produced is minimal and generally not enough to cause burns or discomfort upon contact. It is recommended to allow the bulb to cool down before handling it, especially if it has been on for an extended period of time.


Are all lights the same in terms of energy efficiency and brightness?

No, not all lights are the same in terms of energy efficiency and brightness. LED lights are generally more energy efficient and brighter than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights.


Which bulbs are brightest?

LED bulbs are generally the brightest type of bulbs available for household use. They are energy-efficient and produce a high level of brightness compared to traditional incandescent and fluorescent bulbs. Be sure to check the lumen output when comparing bulb brightness.


What is the main difference between an incandescent light bulb and compact fluorscent light bulb?

An incandescent bulb differs from a fluorescent based on how it produces light. "Incandescent" means producing light through heat, this is essentially how an incandescent bulb lights. As current travels to the tungsten filament, the filament heats and lights up as the tungsten filament begins to deteriorate and eventually fail. Fluorescent bulbs produce light when current excites gasses inside the glass envelope. As the gasses get excited they emit photons. Interestingly, the light produced by a fluorescent bulb does not fall along the visible spectrum until it passes through the white, phosphor coating on the inside of the bulb. And there you have it.


How hot does the surface of a light bulb get?

The surface of a typical incandescent light bulb can reach temperatures around 200-300 degrees Celsius (392-572 degrees Fahrenheit) during operation. LED bulbs, on the other hand, generally operate at much lower temperatures.


How is a fluorescent light bulb connected to an outlet?

Generally with a cord and just plugged in.


What is the powder in a fluorescent light bulb called?

Generally it's a phosphorous compound.


Are CFL bulbs autovolt?

No, compact fluorescent light bulbs generally are not autovolt.


Where is Tungsten?

Incandescent light bulbs. Generally high temperature, or high wear applications.
