What will when two phases are given as input to an incandescent lamp?

I assume that you mean 'two lines', as you cannot connect anything across 'two phases'! The answer is that it depends on whether the line voltage exceeds the rated voltage of the lamp; if it does then the lamp will either burn out immediately, or have its life considerably shortened. If it doesn't then the lamp will operate normally.


If you have low voltage lights in your yard and you want to install a decorative street lamp how do you increase the voltage to power the 120V street lamp?

you don't run a new 120 line


What is the voltage of a telephone socket?

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.


What is line voltage in star connection?

Phase to phase voltage is 1.732 (the square root of 3) times the phase to star point (neutral) line voltage.e.g. if the line voltage is 220Vphase voltage = 1.732x220 = 380V (approx)Additional AnswerYou might also like to know that the line voltage leads the phase voltage by 30 electrical degrees. And, incidentally, the correct expressions are 'line-to-line' not 'phase-to-phase', and 'line-to-neutral' not 'phase-to-neutral' (think about it, a line voltage is measured from the junctions between adjacent phases, so they cannot be 'phase to phase'!)


What is the voltage of telephone line?

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 answer is that it depends on whether the line voltage exceeds the rated voltage of the lamp; if it does then the lamp will either burn out immediately, or have its life considerably shortened. If it doesn't then the lamp will operate normally or may even be dim. It's all to do with the rated voltage of the lamp, now how it's connected!

How do you measure for voltage on a home telephone line?

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.


Why is there a curve and not a straight line in the graph for a filament lamp?

I had to answer this and found out that............ The line on the graph that represents the filament lamp is curved because the resistance of it increases with supplied voltage Hope this is alright for you :) x

Can you use a 120V table lamp on a 227v line?

The answer is possibly. There is no guarantee that the insulation designed for the lower voltage will be adequate at the higher voltage. The danger of electric shock should not be scorned. The cost of a new lamp is not daunting, and if the lamp is an heirloom item, then that value should enable the wiring and switches be upgraded. Don't take chances.


Can I use 18 AWG speaker wire to rewire a lamp?

No! Most lamp cords are made with 18 guage wire, some speaker wire is made with 18 guage wire too but the insualtion of the wire is very different. Both wires have insulation for their intended uses. Supplying a lamp with line voltage and supplying a speaker with low voltage are very different. The speaker wire is not meant to carry line voltage and may overheat and or melt.
