Will there be a significant voltage drop over 60 FT if a 6-3 extension cord is used to power a motor home with house current?
no but you cant exceed the wattage of the generator if you are close to that amount you will notice a reduction not nescessarily in voltage but amperage which will have the same affect If the generator is 7500 watts, 240 volts, that is approximately 30 amps maximum load. According to one online calculator for voltage drop, your AWG 8 wire run would have only a 3 percent drop over 95 feet or so, or 120 feet if you're only using 25 amps.

Why alternating current is represented by sinusoidal wave form?
AC voltage, like the voltage in your house, is typically referred to as 120vAC. This means the voltage swings 120V positive and 120V negative 60 times per second (60 Hz) 360 degrees total (sine wave). Current and voltage go hand-n-hand so the current alternates with the voltage. the RMS value is what we experience at the output (160vAC is actually sent to the circuits)
Why is the electric current you receive at your house is called alternating current?
The voltage and current are delivered in a sine wave that goes positive and then negative at 60 cycles per second. Google sine wave to see what a sine wave looks like.
What are advantages power supply in computer?
The power supply converts the high voltage (e.g. 120VAC in US, 240VAC in Europe) alternating current house electricity supply down to the various different low voltage direct current supplies needed by different devices that make up the computer. These low voltage direct current supplies are tightly regulated in the power supply circuitry to prevent transients in the house electric supply from perturbing the computer's electronics as well as to compensate for variations in power demand as the different devices that make up the computer operate.
What is the voltage of house current is it 208 v?
208 v three-phase supplies are an option for American properties, because the line to neutral voltage is 120 v.
How much voltage does a transformer reduce for home use?
IT depends on the voltage that is at the powerlines. Ibelieve the common residential powerline voltage is 2160v and your house is 120/240v
What is the difference between ac voltage and dc voltage?
access current ( like plugs in your house ) direct current (like batteries)
Are high voltage transmission lines 60Hz like the wiring in a house?
Yes, the frequency stays the same. Only the voltage and current change as the voltage is stepped down.
What is the same in a parallel circuit?
Always voltage constant in parallel circuit if you look your house wiring all are in parallel therefore 220 volt present in every house but current is different
How does ac dc power supplies work?
The mains to the house is an alternating current and this high voltage is stepped down using a transformer. The low voltage secondary alternating current is converted to direct current using 4 diodes wired as a bridge rectifier. The 'lumpy' direct current is smoothed using an electrolytic capacitor to smooth the resulting dc. It may need to be voltage regulated if the circuits it feeds are voltage sensitive.
Where can people find the construction information that may require to complete an extension to their house?
A person can find construction information that may be required to complete an extension to a house at Citizens Information. Information for an extension to a house can also be found at House Extension Online.
What DVM voltage range do you use to measure house current voltage 110V or 120V Why?
To measure house current voltage, a digital voltmeter (DVM) is typically set to the 200V AC range. This range is suitable for measuring standard household voltages, which in the U.S. typically fluctuate between 110V and 120V. Using this range ensures accuracy and prevents damage to the meter, as it can comfortably handle the expected voltage without exceeding its limits.
What is the voltage that causes the most human deaths each year?
120 volts A/C, or some might refer to it as house current.
What are three types of extensions?
Hair extensions Extension lead House extension
Can you run 125v air conditioner on 120v house current?
Yes ,it's the same voltage.You have a +-5% of voltage range
Is 123.4 volts acceptable for house current?
In the United States, the standard voltage for household current is 120 volts, so 123.4 volts would fall within an acceptable range. However, fluctuations in voltage can occur, so it's always a good idea to consult a professional if you are experiencing voltage irregularities.
What is considerede low voltage?
Low voltage is a relative term, as there is no 'level' at which a voltage is rated 'low'. Electrical safety codes define low voltage as circuits that do not require the same protections necessary at higher voltages.
Will a fan requiring 230 volts ac run on normal house current?
Yes if the house supply is 220-240 volts. The required voltage range should be printed somewhere on the fan.
