To calculate the range of an MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) for a motor circuit, you need to consider the full load current of the motor in amps and select an MCB with a rating above this value to ensure it can handle the starting current and any potential overload conditions without tripping. It is recommended to select an MCB that is rated at least 1.5 times the full load current of the motor to provide a safety margin and prevent nuisance tripping.

Can you hook up a 240V circuit in series to a dryer and electric range?

The short answer is no. First off I assume you mean "can you have a dryer and an electric range on the same circuit?" (If they were actually wired in series, then you couldn't use your range if the dryer was off) In theory you could have them on the same circuit you just need to make sure that the wiring and the circuit they are on can handle the number of amps the two of them could draw together. If your breaker isn't big enough, it kill the power to the range while you are cooking dinner. If the wiring can't handle the load, then there is a fire risk. A dryer is usually on a 30amp circuit and a range is usually on a 50amp circuit, so to have them together would require an 80amp circuit, which will be difficult to find a breaker and wiring for.


How can you tell if your wiring and breaker box can handle it if you want to replace your wall-mounted oven and countertop burner unit with a new slide-in range with the flat top heating elements?

industry standard practice. the electrical load from a combination range is the same as the combined loads from a wall oven and countertop. so your panel and electric service will handle it. BUT the range will be on a single circuit and you must ensure that the range circuit requirements are met. the circuit requirements are on the nameplate. for example, if the range requires a 30 amp circuit and your wall oven was a 30 amp circuit then you can use the wall oven circuit. but if the range requires a 40 amp circuit, then you have to pull a 40 amp circuit from the panel to the range.


What is the object called that uses electricity in a circuit to make something happen?

The object that uses electricity in a circuit to make something happen is known as the load. Usually the load is rated in watts.


What does a push-to-make switch do in a circuit?

A push-to-make switch completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through when the switch is pressed or engaged. When the switch is released, the circuit opens, interrupting the flow of electricity.

State the terms associated with contactor starter used for starting and stopping induction motor some term and definition about contactors?

voltage, current, resistance, horsepower, contacts, overloads, coil, terminations, NEMA, IEC, NFPA 70 NEC, motor controls, NFPA70E . . . A contactor is a double make/break per phase switch that opens and closes the circuit to the motor by energizing a coil (electro-magnet) using a motor control circuit (usually, but not always a lower voltage than the motor circuit). The motor control circuit goes through a normally closed set of contacts that will open if the overloads that are in series with the motor circuit sense too much current going to the motor.


What is the relationship of science and automotive?

Science is needed to calculate the motor, to determine how to make the gasoline combustable or how to make the battery operate the car, to calculate how to reduce the push of air against the car as it moves, etc.


How do you calculate the ammeter reading?

The voltage remains the same across the circuit as it is a parallel connection. So, the current across the upper half of the circuit where the ammeter is connected is calculated as I = V/R = 12.04 (total voltage)/12 (Resistance R1) = 1 A. Hence, the ammeter will read 1 A.


Why won't the blower motor work in a 1995 Ford Contour even after changing the resistor fuse relay and the fan control switch?

Make Sure You Are Getting Voltage To The Blower Motor. If You Are Your Motor May Be Bad. Also Make Sure That The Blower Motor Is Grounded Also If The Motor Is OK & Getting Voltage. Clean The Paint From The Motor Housing And Where It Is Bolted To The Car Body To Get A Good Ground To Complete The Circuit. Best To You

Can a run capacitor start a blower motor running it slow and causing it to overheat or is it a bad motor?

Yes, a bad capacitor causes blower motor to become slow or stop. Since bad or shortcapacitor will make the surge of current and tripping of circuit breaker.

How do you identify a burnt out motor without meggering?

If the motor is still connected to its electrical supply and it is safe to do so switch it on and check for an odour of burning insulation and or the presence of smoke. A burnt out winding can cause a motor to run very slowly and make a unusual humming noise, if this cannot be achieved safely then make sure the motor main switch is isolated and sniff around any ventilated area of the motor to check for the smell of burning insulation. If you have a circuit tester that will check for continuity then use this after firstly completely isolating the motor from its electrical supply and disconnecting the wiring to the input terminals. You may see and open circuit reading between the live and neutral terminals or a short circuit between one or the other terminal when the tester is connected between the terminals and the metal case of the motor, remember that a circuit tester will read resistance so try the test on the appropriate setting, example; RX10K

Your fan is not coming on not even when you turn on the ac your relays is good what else can be the problem?

Perhaps the blower motor has burned out. When you say that the relays are working indicates you've followed the circuit out to them. Now go from there to the motor and make sure there is power that far. If there is power to the motor and you have a good ground and it still does not work: replace the motor.


What function in a circuit for a switch?

A switch is a make - break device. Its function is a circuit is to make and break the current flow of the circuit that it is in. This action then starts and stops the load that is connected in the circuit.
