The current Gregorian calendar was introduced in October 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII. It replaced the Julian calendar, which had been in use since 45 BC. However, not all countries adopted the Gregorian calendar at the same time; for instance, Great Britain and its colonies switched in 1752. Today, the Gregorian calendar is the most widely used civil calendar around the world.

What is the advantage of the capacitor-start induction-run motor over the resistance-start induction-run motor?

A capacitor-start system will limit the current drawn by an induction machine by correcting the devices poor power factor during the start up. This limits the current needed to start the device without using any real power. A resistance-start system will limit the starting current by drawing current unto the resistor instead of the induction machine. The real power used by the resistor is turned into heat and lost. A capacitive-start system will use no real power and will not create excess heat, it will be more expensive to initially purchase.


How a current relay operates to remove the start winding from the circuit?

A current relay operates by monitoring the current flowing through the start winding of a motor. When the motor reaches a predetermined speed, the current in the start winding decreases. This drop in current activates the relay, which opens its contacts and disconnects the start winding from the circuit, allowing the motor to run efficiently on the run winding alone. This process helps prevent overheating and damage to the start winding.


How can you block ac current?

You can block AC current by using a filter with a pass-band that is outside the frequency of the AC current.


Why DOL starter using to start motor?

Yes up to certain rating and application a motor can be started on DOL. Beyond a rating different methods need to be used to limit the starting current.

Why is the world ganna end in 2012?

It isn't. This myth originated from the fact that one of the calandars of the pre-columbian South American civilisations (the Maya, I believe), 'runs out' in 2012. It doesn't actually 'run out' of course, it just gets to the end of its current run of numbers. In the same way you might say our calandar will 'run out' after 31 December 9999. Is the world going to end after that day, because we can't count any higher using 4 digits? Of course not. The year 9999 wil be followed by 10,000. In the same way that our calandar could simply 'add' another digit, to make the next day 1 January 10,000, the Mayan calandar could likewise 'add' an order of magnitude. Except of course, no-one uses that calandar any more. It would be interesting to know if our calendar will still be used 8000 years from now.


Which calandar has Christmas as Jan. 7th Julian or Gregorian?

Julian


What about the 13th zodiac sign?

The 13th sign is "Ophiuchi". Nothing special about it, it just got dropped when people went from a 13 Moonth calandar to a 12 month calandar about 2000 years ago (blame the Romans).


How did the person making the calandar know what date it was?

From very precise calculations of vernal equinoxes.
