The device which disconnects the start winding in some split-phase motor circuits after a preset speed is obtained is the?

It is called a centrifugal switch. The switch is in series with the start winding. When the RPM of the motor reaches a certain speed the switch drops the start winding of the motor out of the circuit.


Can you combine two generators circuits together?

Proton LED engineer in Lyons GA says: the two circuits would have to be in phase in order to combine them. *Actually you can always combine generator circuits. The problem comes in with HOW in phase the circuits are. If the generators are in phase (0 degrees apart) their AC voltages and currents would combine completely, but if they are out of phase (90 degrees apart) the voltages and currents will appose each other to such an extent that they will basically cancel each other out. The trick is to apply some sort of phase correction to one of the circuits in order to modify the phase difference between the two so that you can get the desired power output. Just be careful not to exceed your rated line currents when combining two generator circuits, otherwise things could get smoky! - Tristan JvR


Why is the current the same in all locations in series circuit?

Because the current is a flow of electrons, and those aren't created or destroyed.The number of electrons that start out from one battery terminal is the samenumber of electrons that eventually return to the battery's other terminal, afterthe current has been all around the circuit. They're not necessarily the sameelectrons, but the number of them is the same at both ends of the circuit, afternone have been lost and no extra ones have jumped aboard along the way.


Which of kichhoff's laws applies to series circuits?

Kirchoff's Current Law states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node is equal to zero. In a simple parallel circuit, say with one battery and two light bulbs, this means the current coming out of the battery will be exactly equal to the sum of the currents entering the two light bulbs. In a series circuit, it also means that the current at every point in the circuit is the same. A parallel circuit can be construed as a special case of a series circuit, when you start to combine elements. Kirchoff's Voltage Law states that the signed sum of the voltage drops around a series circuit is equal to zero. Since a parallel circuit can be construed as a special case of a series circuit, this means that voltage across parallel nodes is equal.


How to find Equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors?

To find equivalent resistance when you have both parallel and series resistors, start simple and expand... Find the smallest part of the circuit, such as a pair of resistors in series or a pair of resistors in parallel, and compute the equivalent single resistor value. Repeat that process, effectively covering more and more of the circuit, until you arrive at a single resistance that is equivalent to the circuit. For resistors in series: RTOTAL = R1 + R2 For resistors in parallel: RTOTAL = R1R2/(R1+R2)

What do you look for when the dash lights come on but the F150 won't start when you turn the key?

What year? On older models, it could be the solenoid that has gone bad. On newer models, it could be the switch, or the starter itself. If you have an alarm system, it could be interfereing with the start circuits.


Right side brake light and turn signal work left side nothing works and neither running light works?

Start with checking the bulbs, then the fuses. In most vehicles the brake lights and siganal lights and running lights are separate circuits. If the fuses and bulbs check okay check the wiring feeding the rear of vehicle.


How can I troubleshoot series and parallel circuits effectively?

To troubleshoot series and parallel circuits effectively, start by checking for loose connections, damaged components, and incorrect wiring. Use a multimeter to measure voltage and resistance at different points in the circuit. Follow the flow of electricity to identify any breaks or malfunctions. Test each component individually to isolate the problem. Keep track of your findings and systematically eliminate potential issues until the problem is identified and resolved.


Why do the engine warning lights come on when the car is off?

By "OFF," I have to assume that your question means that the ignition switch is "ON", but the engine is not running. IF that is what your question means, then the reason the engine warning lights turning on is that the manufacturer designed the system that way to show you that those warning circuits and lights are working, and ready to warn you after you start the engine, should there be a failure in one of the systems they represent.
