A lot of commercial telecommunications equipment runs on 48 volts. There are also relays that use 48 volts.

I'm sure there are many other uses for this. I'm not aware of any in a typical house, if that's what you're looking for. Perhaps certain water softeners, sprinkler systems, etc. run on 48, but the ones I've seen usually run on 12.

How many volts to run a 48 Volt club car electric motor?

If a 48 Volt club car electric motor requires 48 volts, then it should be given a 48 volt power source, or something close to it. Too many more volts and it may burn out; not enough volts and it may not run or it will try to draw too much power and burn out the power supply.


Why be use the -48 volt for bts?

48 is volt scale and negative voltage is used for safety of media, to prevent attanuation and noise.


How do you increase Speed on a Yamaha 48 volt golf cart?

You can increase the speed of an Yamaha 48 volt golf cart by installing a larger motor or more powerful batteries. This will produce more power to the wheels and more speed.


If the voltage in a circuit is 24 volt and the current is 2 A what is the total power in the circuit?

Power = E times I = (24 x 2) = 48 watts


How do you calculate capacitance to improve power factor in a industry?

A capacitor used to correct a lagging power factor has to take the right number of VAR (volt-amps reactive). If you have a load of W watts with a power factor of P, the total VA (volt-amps) is W/P. For example a 400 watt load with a power factor of 0.8 draws 500 VA because 400/0.8=500. The basic formula is that W2 + (VAR)2 = (VA)2 The VAR comes from this formula: VAR = sqrt((VA)2 - W2) So for the 400-watt load with a 0.8 power-factor, which draws 500 VA, the VAR is equal to 300. On a 120 v supply the capacitor must draw 300/120 amps, or 2.5 amps, and its reactance is therefore 120/2.5 or 48 ohms. The capacitance comes from this formula: 1 / (2pi times frequency times reactance). On a 60 Hz system this is 1 / (377 times reactance) So for a 48 ohm reactance the capacitance is 0.0005526 Farad or 55.3 microfarads. This would completely correct the power factor in the example and the current drawn would come down from 4.16 amps to 3.33 amps, which would reduce the power lost in the supply wiring by 34%.

No.


How many watts does a 48 volt battery produce?

To calculate the wattage produced by a 48-volt battery, you need to know the current (in amperes) it can supply. Once you have the current value, you can use the formula P = V x I, where P is power in watts, V is voltage in volts (48V in this case), and I is current in amperes. So, without knowing the current, we cannot determine the wattage produced by a 48-volt battery.


Is 24 volt DC is equal to -48 Volt DC?

No. The value and polarity are different.


Why plus 24 volt is used for telecom equipments?

+24 volts is not normally used for telecom equipment. -48 volts is the usual value. 48 was chosen as a compromise between safety and voltage/power efficiency. Minus was chosen over plus to manage corrosion effects of cabling in underground installations.
