How do you check for amperage draw in a 12 volt car electrical system?

Place a current meter (rated for several hundred amps) in series with the battery. Or Place a large gauge wire of known resistance in series with your battery, use a high precision volt meter to measure the voltage drop across this piece of wire, then divide the measured voltage drop by the resistance of the wire. This will give you the current traveling through it.


How many watts in a 320 volt dishwasher?

The rated voltage of an appliance is no guide to its power rating. To find out the power (watts), you will need to look at your washing machine's nameplate, which will indicate both its rated voltage and its rated power.


What is a megger test?

If you are referring to a megohm meter, it is a test of the insulation properties of such things as electric wiring, motor windings and high power antenna mounts. We use a "megger" or "meg out" electrical wiring and equipment to see if it is shorted to ground in any way.The megger uses much higher voltages to check resistance than a normal Volt-ohm meter.Ideally, you want infinity resistance but I've installed 460 volt motors with 750 meg ohms resistance to ground and had no problem.On the whole megger testing is non destructive. What happens is a DC voltage is applied to the device or winding under test. It is an insulation test to see is the insulation has been injured in any way to cause a short circuit when normal power is applied to it. On my megger there are 3 ranges 300V, 750V, and 1000 volts. Applying the proper voltage is essential to not damaging the device you are testing.Working voltages up to 240 volts should use the 300 range.Working voltages up to 600 volts use the 750 volt range and working voltages above 600 use the 1000 volt range.As you can see if you used the 1000 volt range on a device that had a working voltage of say 24 volts you could damage the insulation just by testing it. So meggering a device is non destructive if you use the tester as its instructions tell you to.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


What is the unit of electrical capacitance?

The unit of electrical capacitance is Farad (F) named after Michal Faraday. A farad is the charge in coulombs a capacitor will accept for the potential across it to change 1 volt. A coulomb is 1 ampere second.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of the VOM as compared to the electrical measuring instrument?

As a VOM (volt-ohm meter) is one type of electrical measuring instrument, it is unclear how to answer this question. It is almost as if you had asked "What are the advantages and disadvantages of the banana as compared to the edible plant part?"

How is 4160 voltage made?

Well first we need to generate voltage from electrical generator. Then if voltage are below 4160 volt step up Transformer is used and if voltage are above 4160 volt step down Transformer is used. Generally voltage produced from generator are low so we need to step up voltage to higher values such as 240 kilo volt to transmit them to longer distances to reduce power losses.

Can you put a 120 v receptacle on a 240 v circuit breaker?

No, the electrical insulation rating of a 15 amp duplex receptacle is only rated at 130 volts. The 15 amp 240 volt receptacle is rated at 250 volts. The 240 volt receptacle also has a tandem pin configuration instead of the parallel configuration of the 120 volt device. The different pin configuration is so that a 120 volt electrical device can not be plugged into a 240 voltage receptacle.


Can you ever use a butt splice connector with 120 volt ac?

Yes, butt splice connectors are rated up to the 600 volt insulation range.


Is it common to use a 4160 V 3 Phase motor with a variable speed drive?

No, a 4160 volt motor with a high inertia load will use a resistor bank in the starting of the motor.

What color code is used for 4160 volt labels?

Wow your in some serious stuff. Are you worried about rotation. 4160 is not something to be messed with if your not a qualified electrician or lineman. If you mess up you can have a big fire ball on your hands.


Can insulation resistance of cable be checked with a volt meter?

No. A volt-ohmmeter will not check insulation. To check cable insulation you need a special device (called a megger) made for the purpose that imposes a high voltage and measures current leaks.

How is electrical energy delivered to the end users?

End users generally subscribe to an electrical service according to their power needs. A residential home, for instance, might have a three-wire, 220-volt, single-phase service rated at between 60 and 200 amps, to a service panel supplying 110-volt and 220-volt branch circuits. A commercial end-user may need three-phase 277/480-volt system supplied on 4 wires, rated for 800 amps overhead or more underground.


What are transformers rated?

A transformer's capacity is rated in volt amperes(V.A). This is the product of the secondary winding's current rating and voltage rating.
