Why does the voltage need to be so high in a power station?

In long range,electric current can flow only when the wires are given high voltage.The voltage is about 20-30kV.eg.lightning. ---------------------------------------- Current of any voltage can flow in a wire. However, the larger the current is, the larger the resistance to flow and the greater the loss of energy during transmission. Therefore, to transfer the same amount of energy per second (power) without as much loss of energy due to resistance, current needs to be lowered by increasing the voltage since Power = Current * Voltage.


What is remote reading compass?

A remote reading compass uses a remote detector to determine the heading to be shown on the compass indicator on the pilot's instrument panel. The detector will be a Flux Detector/or flux gate and consists of a pendulous set of 4 coils aranged on a three leg "spider" One of the coils is the excitation coil supplied with 26V 400 HZ AC while the other three have an induced ac voltage from the excitation. Depending where they lie realative to the earth's magnetic field their output voltage will be either assisted or hindered and there will be an electric field created in the the three output wires which can drive an indicator to display the aircraft magnetic heading . These Indicators will be usually a HSI ( Horrizontal Situation Indicator) PNI ( Pictorial Navigation Indicator) or RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator) Usually the output signal from the Flux detector is so small that an amplifier is needed to boost the signel to the Indicator. This system is usually GYRO STADILISED ( Directional Gyro) to make it display accurately in turns and to make it wander less. If it is not fitted with a gyro then the system is called a NON GYRO STABILISED REMOTE READING COMPASS system. It still workes but the display is more inclined to wander.

What causes the red indicator light to come on on the voltage guauge on a 1994 buick park avenue?

Vehicle charging voltage too low or too high or monitor circuit faulty. Check battery with voltmeter.


What does it mean when the voltage indicator is pegged?

When the voltage indicator is "pegged," it means that the voltage being measured is exceeding the maximum limit of the indicator. This could indicate a problem with the electrical system, such as a short circuit or power surge. It is important to address the issue promptly to prevent damage to equipment or potential safety hazards.

How much voltage dose it take to kill an average person?

It takes around 100 mA of current at 50-100 volts to be lethal to an average person. Voltage alone is not a good indicator of lethality; it is the combination of voltage and current that determines the danger.


How is Neon used for high-voltage indicators?

The kilovolt indicator circuit I saw on the web uses resistors voltage divider with a neon lamp in parallel with each resistor of the low branch. It's not a very orthodox design. If you search electric fence tester on a browser by images you can look at the schematic. But beware, you must not connect this circuit for a long time ! It is better to use high voltage resistors (several kilovolts) with enough power. Be careful with high voltage because you don't need to touch a contact to be in danger, if you' re close enough a spark will jump the air gap. In a home 230v indicator, there is one resistor in serie with the neon bulb, the resistor value is calculated to have the difference between input high voltage and nominal voltage of the neon bulb. The voltage across a single neon bulb depends on the size of the bulb, in fact distance between the electrodes and parameters of the gas. For 2 chinese models I saw 16x6mm: 90volts, 12x5mm: 60volts for instance. You can buy the neon bulb with mounted resistor. It is not necessary to use neon bulb to measure high voltage: You can use a voltage divider and a digital voltmeter, it would be much more precise. If you want to test AC voltage, you can use a high voltage transformer but the wires must be insulated enough to withstand the high voltage.
