What is a residual current detector?
It is another name for a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) which is the name used in North America for an RCD (Residual Current Device) as it is known in Europe and elsewhere in the World.For more information take a look at the page reached by the Related Link - and the answers to the Related Questions - which are shown below.
What is the name of the device that senses the current flowing tripping the circuit and cutting off the electricity?
The device that senses the current flowing and trips the circuit to cut off electricity is called a Residual Current Device (RCD) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB). It detects imbalances between the live and neutral wires, which can indicate a leakage current, and disconnects the circuit to prevent electric shock or fire hazards.
Name two devices which use current carrying conductor and magnetic field?
One device for increasing the magnetic field surrounding a current carrying wire, is to wrap the conductor into a set of co-axial coils. A second device is to include a ferromagnetic material in the core of such a coil.
What is the si unit for ammeter?
The Ampere (or Amp.) for large things such as a toaster, microwave or refrigerator. Most electronic devices use current measured in milliamperes (or miliamps) which measures thousanth (1/1000) of an ampere.
What happens if you transpose 240V with 110V?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.Voltage is the pressure that electric current (amps) is pushed by. In any given circuit, wattage (power) is what is used to run an appliance. Wattage is produced by 'pushing' a given amount of current.However, the material in which the current is pushed (wire) can stand only so much pressure. If you use 240V on a 110V line, the wiring will no doubt burn.If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it.If you transpose 240V with 110V and the load is inductive it will not operate. If the load is resistive then you will only get one quarter of the rated wattage if the voltage is reduced by half.I beg to differ with the statement," If you attempt to use house current on a 240V rated appliance, you will "over-amp" the device and damage it." There are many home appliances that utilize a 240 volt supply. The hot water tank, clothes dryer and cooking range to name a few.
What is the name for the device that changes the direction of the current?
A device that changes the direction of the current is called a "switch" or a "reversing switch." This device allows for the current to flow in different directions as needed.
What is the name of device which generate current?
A generator or an alternator.
What safety device is fitted to ensure a circuit breaker can not be racked out when closed?
A remote racking device is the name of a safety device that is fitted to ensure a circuit breaker cannot be racked out when closed.

What is a thin section of metal that burns out when the surge of electricity is too great?
"Surge of electricity" is a rather meaningless phrase, and no electrical device isdesigned to deal with anything by that name. A "fuse" is a short section of wirethat melts when the current through it exceeds the design value.
What is the name of a device that can be used to control the amount of current?
A resister limits the amount of current passing through a circuit.
What is the name of the device that changes the voltage?
A transformer is a device that changes the voltage of an electrical current, either increasing or decreasing it depending on the design.
What is the name of the current regulator of workplace health and safety in Queensland?
Frank D Gendar
Is IGBT the bipolar device?
IGBT and BJT are bipolar devices as the name suggest. Meaning of bipolar device both electrons and holes leads to current unlike FET where either electron or hole causes current.
Name a safety device you'd find in a car?
Air bag Seat Belt Alarm Child Safety Locks Onstar Locked steering wheel Brakes
Name device which permits direct current and opposes the flow of alternating current?
A device that permits direct current (DC) and opposes the flow of alternating current (AC) is a rectifier. Rectifiers are electronic components that only allow current to flow in one direction, which is common for converting AC to DC in power supplies and other applications.
What is the name of the device that changes the ratio of a current in voltage?
A transformer. it steps up / down voltage, and steps down / up current.
