What else can I help you with?
Why SCR does not latch in AC circuit?
because it doesnt
Can you apply Norton Theorem to ac circuit?
yes
What is the significance of using inductor in ac circuit?
Current filtering
What is the purpose of the neutral conductor?
The purpose of neutral conductor is to carry the unbalanced load current. It is also a grounded conductor, which effectively places a limit on how much voltage could be present from hot to ground, a safety concern.
Why there is phase shift in AC circuit?
due to presence of passive elements
Why neutral wire does not carry current in closed ac circuit?
The neutral wire does carry current in a closed AC circuit. Clamp a clamp on amp meter around the neutral wire directly after the circuit load and it will read the same current as is on the "hot" wire.
What is an ac reactor?
A reactor in an AC circuit is basically an inductor which will filter spikes in source voltage. See the related link.
How can I use a multimeter to test for an open neutral in an electrical circuit?
To test for an open neutral in an electrical circuit using a multimeter, set the multimeter to measure AC voltage. Then, place the black probe on the neutral wire and the red probe on the hot wire. If the reading shows a voltage close to zero, the neutral is likely open.
How can one circuit of a 4 four circuit service panel be providing 136v AC and the others 106volts when the incoming power is 240volts from the meter?
The neutral wire is open, or has a bad connection.
How can the flow of electrons in an electrical circuit change without the neutral becoming hot ex. AC Power?
The neutral conductor is bonded to ground, and is therefore always at earth potential, which is the zero-reference for voltage.
What is A ground-fault circuit interrupter?
== == If the current in an ac power circuit is not balanced between hot and neutral, possibly meaning some of the current is going through a human being to ground, a GFCI breaker or receptacle will break the circuit to keep the person from being electrocuted.
Why should current be reversed in an AC circuit?
The current in any AC circuit reverses every cycle.
What kind of supply is given to the circuit?
ac supply is given and then in the circuit rectifier converts ac to dc
Can you use an ac neutral on a coil powered by dc?
A neutral line can carry both AC and DC. Just make sure that the AC or DC is unable to pass through any components connected to the neutral line.
Does a 220 volt ac contact get a positive and a negative?
A 220 vac circuit has 2 hot wires and a neutral. The neutral stays at 0 volts and the hot wires vary between positive and negative. When one is positive, the other is negative.
Can a red wire be neutral?
In ordinary circumstances, a red wire is a secondary hot wire in an AC circuit, or the positive power leg in a DC circuit. Red should not be used as a neutral. If it is used for something other than a hot wire it must be labeled on the wire at all connection points- and would STILL be a bad idea.
If AC is replaced by DC in a fluorescent lamp circuit will the circuit work?
No.
