If the bulbs are wired in series, the voltage rating for each bulb is the source voltage divided by the number of bulbs in the series. You can tell if they're wired in series by removing a bulb. If all of the other lights go out, you have a series circuit. If all of the other bulbs stay lit, you have a parallel circuit. If half of the lights go out and the other half stay lit, you have two series circuits in parallel. The source voltage is about 110 volts in North America or about 220 volts in Europe (I don't know about Asia or Australia). If you have a series/ parallel mix, count only the bulbs that go out with the one you removed. For example, if you have 50 lights in one series in North America, the voltage across each bulb is about 2.2 volts.

What is ampere rating of an electrical kettle?

Divide its power rating by its voltage rating. These ratings are found on its nameplate. For example, a 3-kW kettle rated at 230 V will draw a current of approx. 13 A.


What is full load current rating for 1000kva xmer?

It depends on (1) its voltage rating, and (2) whether it is single phase or three phase. And the symbol for kilovolt ampere is kV.A -not 'kva'.


What is the different between using the low or high voltage in big three phase motors?

These types of motors are classified as dual voltage motors. The highest motor voltage rating is always double the lowest voltage rating. Dual voltage motors are more versatile in matching the system voltage supply that they are connected to. When the motor uses the highest voltage rating the coil legs are in series, dropping the high voltage across two coils. When the motor is connected to the low voltage rating the coils are connected in parallel dropping the low voltage rating across the two coils in parallel. As you can see no matter which configuration that you use the individual coils can never get a voltage across them greater than the lowest of the two voltages available. The connection diagram is usually on the underside of the motor's junction box lid.


How do you measure the volt ampere rating of a transformer?

Your transformer should have a namplate on it that states how many amps or fractions of amps it can produce. You would then multiply that number by your secondary voltage to get your VA rating. sec. voltage 12v X .05 amp = 12 X .05= .6va
