A negative live voltage is used to prevent electroytic corrosion on the copper wires.
yes.. voltage regulation can be negative
Negative 48 volt DC voltage is simply a voltage that is negative 48 volts with respect to ground. This voltage is widely used in telecommunication systems.
What is the significance of negative values of voltage and current?Negative values show direction and that is the significance
To convert a 440V line voltage to phase voltage in a three-phase system, you divide the line voltage by the square root of 3 (approximately 1.732). This means the phase voltage is calculated as ( V_{phase} = \frac{V_{line}}{\sqrt{3}} ). For 440V line voltage, the phase voltage would be approximately 254V.
The reason is that internal voids within the insulation will discharge as the voltage rises; once discharged, they will not do so again at some higher voltage. if all voids become discharged, theoretically the plot of tan delta versus voltage would level off to a horizontal line. In effect, tip-up becomes "negative".
To measure voltage on a home telephone line, you'll need a multimeter set to the DC voltage range. Connect the multimeter probes to the two wires of the telephone line, typically the tip (positive) and ring (negative) wires. A properly functioning phone line should show a voltage between 40 to 60 volts when the phone is on-hook (not in use). Always ensure safety by avoiding contact with the wires and using insulated tools.
A lamp can be run by power from a telephone line.
48 VOLTS
it has 52volt dc off hook
Yes. By convention, the horizontal line is deflected upward for positive voltages and down for negative. With no input, adjust the line to co-incide with a central line on the graticule. A varying voltage that remains positive will be deflected above the line. A voltage that transits from positive to negative will draw above and below the line.
so that they still work after you power goes out
I'd say it wouldn't be -40 volt, but in fact 40 volt. I'm guessing you measured it with a multimeter and had your polarity (positive/negative) mixed up when you placed the leads on the telephone line. -------------------------------------------------------------- The nominal voltage between tip and ring on the telephone line is 48 VDC (it is provided by a 24 cell lead acid battery in the central office) but this can be reduced by line drop by as much as 9 VDC depending on how far you are from the central office. Tip is connected to the positive side of the battery and ring is connected to the negative side of the battery. The tip and ring twisted pair is isolated from ground, so either can be used as your multimeter reference as long as you are aware of polarity so the reading of the multimeter will make sense.
The voltage of a standard telephone socket typically carries around 48 volts DC when the line is idle. During a phone call, this voltage can drop to about 6-12 volts AC due to the conversation's signal. The system is designed for low voltage to ensure safety and compatibility with telephone devices.
it is hardware not software
Since the ringer voltage across the twisted pair is 120 VAC RMS the telephone can definitely handle that. Given the fact that the telephone is also supposed to survive induced surges from nearby lightning strikes to the line the telephone should be able to handle over 1000 V common mode impulses (but I don't know the exact limit). No telephone is expected to survive a direct lightning strike to the line (which could be millions of volts). Note: common mode means the voltage is applied between the twisted pair lines (both at about the same voltage) and ground. If the survivable common mode voltage were to be applied across the twisted pair instead it would severely damage the telephone.
yes.. voltage regulation can be negative
First connect the positive terminal of the voltage line to positive terminal of multimeter and negative to negative terminal of multimeter. Select voltage in multimeter and measure the voltage
