How many Kwatt-hours can a solar panel system generate?
If the solar panel is rated for 180W (170W to 200W is common for residential installation), it will generate about 216 Kwatt-hour in NJ and about 261 Kwatt-hour in CA. The number 180W is the rated CAPACITY. It is multiplied with the "number of hours of standard sun light" to get the Kwatt-hour" which is the ENERGY unit. There are about 1450 hours in CA vs 1200 hours in NJ per year that the area will receive the "Standard Sun Light". Blue Sky Technologies USA
What is a Kwatt in energy?
A kilowatt is 1000 watts, and 1 watt is 1 joule per second
Will a 1 kWatt oven consume more electricity per hour if the electrical company delivers 190 volts instead of 220 volts?
No, the utility company base their billing on the amount of watts used over a specific time.
What are the resistance values on a 10 horsepower 480 volt 3 phase motor phase to ground?
The resistance depends on how big the motor is. A small motor (less then 2-3 kW) , have greater resistance than a bigger one. Typically small motors have from 10 - 20 ohms to a few ohm. A 13 kWatt motor have typically 1-2 Ohm. A big 400 KWatt's motor have typically 10 milli ohms between the phases.
How much electricity does the average home use?
This is a difficult question to answer because of all of the variables in so many different homes. The size of the home is one of the variables. The type of heating is another variable, whether it is electric or gas. How the hot water is heated in the home electric or gas. For example, I have a 3200 sq foot home and I use 1600 kWh every two months.
How much electricity does an average 2-story 3-bedroom house use per day per month or per year?

Convert ccf to therm?
conversion of CCF's to Therms.Example:125 CCF's X 1.024 (therm factor) = 128.0 ThermsMultiply the CCF's by 1.024 and your result is therms.to convert CCF rates to ThermsDivide the CCF price by 1.024 and the result is the therms priceExample,$0.4438/ 1.024 = $.04334...Joe Cityadditional details:CCF : 100 Cubit FeetThermal Factor: The number of Therms per CCF (Therm/CCF).Therm = 100,000 BTU, appx 29.3 KWatt HoursThermal Factors used by fuel companies generally vary between 102% and 103%. These can vary due to fuel quality, temperature, fuel line pressure, etc. Thermal Factor is not a constant. It is (theoretically) calculated by your supplier and provided on your bill as a conversion from your meter reading to the number used for billing.Fuel meters are usually read in an integer format. Therms are generally reported in an integer format, either from round off or round up. If your fuel supplier rounds off your Therms:- below (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1)/2)) CCF, you get some gas for free.- from about (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1)/2)) CCF to (1+int((1/(Thermal Factor-1))) CCF you pay a little extra.- if you're heating you home in the winter, just extend the pattern.If your fuel supplier just rounds up your Therms ... let's simply say he's ripping you off just a little each month.-- dusc2don
Is Thailand a expensive country?
This largely depends on what you are looking for. If you can speak the local language, or know people, you can stay for $20-50 USD with a large room and a toilet (in separate room), concrete walls, plus electric ($0.11/kWatt hr) and water ($1-8/mo). Most westerners opt for a more western style-toilet and housing, which will run more like $75-350/month for anywhere between 1-5 bedrooms, electric, etc. You're biggest expense will be your air condition unit. They use appx 1 unit/hr. So if you're the type to leave on the air condition 24/7, your bill will be $110-150/month, even more if you use multiple air units. most people either use only fan or turn on air only when needed during the hot parts of the day. So your bill will be more like $15-65, depending on how much you like air condition. Using the air 5-8 hours a day along with other appliances will be about $50. If you drive a motorbike, it will be another $10-20/month for petrol, depending on how far you live from the major town to do shopping. You can get a reliable Honda bike for $500-700. Or new for $1000-3500 USD depending on how powerful of a bike you want. 125 cc honda click brand new is about $1800. Maintenance is very cheap. For example, an oil change is $4. The drive belt is about $18-30. This is at the branded dealerships, not mom/pop shops. The new cars are a bit more expensive from what i remember, but routine maintenance and parts are cheap. Toyota corollas are very popular here. You can also convert your vehicle into a natural gas vehicle NGV using compressed natural gas CNG or liquid natural gas LNG to save on gas. Or use Liquid Propane LPG; a lot of taxis do this for long term gas savings. Food is anywhere between $2-6 a day, depending on your eating habits. If you eat meat/animal products, this will up the cost $1-5. If you come to live a western lifestyle, your imports will cost you. Things like maple syrup have to be brought from outside. But basic living is very cheap. The locals live on $200-300/month. I have seen $600-800 work for a mixed thai/foreigner family of 4. A single person can get away with a lot less. You would want $1-2000 in savings for a rainy day. The thai women are extremely friendly towards foreign men. And you don't have to be rich by any means in order to enjoy their company.
What is the standerd of living in Thailand?
This is a very broad question. Perhaps the OP can elaborate on specifics on what he/she looks for to measure standards of living. Here are some general things to consider. $1.00 USD = appx 30 Thai baht (THB) - Minimum wage is 240 baht-300 baht ($7-$10.50 USD) day depending on the province. - a studio apartment without air condition is appx 1000-4000 baht, depending on if it is in the town or further away, or how new it is and if it has hot water, mini kitchen, air condition unit, etc. In tourist areas, add about 1-10000 baht to that price, but usually it - Electric is about 3.7 baht/unit (KWatt) $0.11 USD/unit. Using only fan, the electic bill is usually under $15/ mo. If you run a single 10,000 btu unit continuously 24/7 for the whole month, the bill will be closer to $100/mo or more. - taxi / tuk-tuk / motorcycle start at around 20-50 baht ($0.70-1.70 for < 3km trips. - local thais eat around 40-140 baht ($1.30 - $4.70) worth of food a day. Local produce is generally very cheap; good for fruitarian/vegeterian diets. - Mini vans that go around the province or interprovince start from 20 baht and go up to 300 baht depending on distance. Coach buses interprovince vary on class. 2nd class (no air cond), makes the most stops, people standing on the bus. 1st class is assigned seats, fewer interprovince stops, follows a regular schedule (maybe a few stragglers on a line that makes frequent stops intra-province), air con. VIP is assigned seats. - paved roads in most places, not many potholes. Especially major towns. - Domestic plane travel on Air Asia if you reserve over 1 week in advance is typically about $50 with all fees. - banking is very efficient and cash-based. - They have major chain retail superstores: Tesco, Makro, Big C in most major/main towns of each province, Similar to Walmart, Target, etc. - the women are generally very attractive and friendly. - if you are a non-thai national (foreigner), you must factor in the cost of a visa run, visa, etc if you plan to stay for a long time (typically longer than 30 days). - foreigners cannot own land directly. Keep in mind Thailand is NOT USA, UK or other western country. If you want that infrastructure, either stay in a tourist area of a major city (Pattaya, Bangkok, Phuket (Patong/Rawai), Samui, Krabi, etc or go to Singapore. And guess what, the prices of everything is expensive. If you want something in-between (Western seriousness, tropical environment), go to Malaysia (Penang/KL) ThaiVisa.com is a good resource to start. Try to ask specific questions to get better answers. Somethings are cheaper if you bring them over or set them up ahead of time (like your banking arrangements) PRIOR to visiting thailand.
How do you install a ring main and how does it work?
Installing ring main circuits is what qualified licensed electricians do. To become licensed they have had to complete a lot of training and pass exams. All this helps to ensure that the work they do will be done safely and efficiently.In the UK - and maybe in other countries too - a "ring main" is the name given to what is literally a closed ring of cable installed at a property to supply current to the power sockets. (Power receptacles in US parlance.)If a ring main circuit was not used then a separate dedicated breaker and "spur" length of cable would have to be used to supply every small block of sockets, a "block" being, say, for a room or pair of rooms.A ring main circuit is preferred compared to the older idea of many separate cable spurs - using spurs is also known as a "star" layout - because, in general, a thinner cross-section cable can be used to connect many sockets distributed around a closed ring circuit compared to the size of cable that would have to be used for the longest spurs in a star layout. A star layout also needs a much larger number of separate breakers, one for each spur.A ring main circuit always starts and finishes at a dedicated breaker on the main consumer panel. The cable forming a ring main circuit always has three wires: live, neutral and earth. (Hot, neutral and ground in US parlance.) An office or factory would probably have many separate ring main circuits.In a typical domestic house wiring system there would be a dedicated breaker and ring main circuit for all the power sockets on each separate floor. An additional breaker and ring main circuit might also be installed to feed all the kitchen's power sockets but the cooker (range in US parlance) would usually have its own dedicated spur cable fed by its own circuit breaker. Similarly the house's boiler (= furnace) - and any other high-power-demand appliances such as 10 kWatt electric showers - would each have their own breaker and spur. (So the "star" cable layout still survives even though ring mains are great for all the rest of the power sockets around a house!)The UK and Republic of Ireland use a power outlet plug and socket system which is totally different to the rest of Europe:All power socket outlets are rated at 13 amps to take a standard 13 amp plug.Each power socket has a protective insulated shutter that safely uncovers the live (or hot) and neutral holes when the plug of an appliance is inserted. The shutter immediately covers the holes over again when the plug is removed. The shutter is operated by the insertion of the earth (or ground) pin which is longer than the live and neutral pins.Each 13 amp plug has 3 rectangular (not round) pins: a live, a neutral and an earth pin. There is also a fuse that should be selected to be of the right size to protect the appliance it is attached-to.The actual plug type is known internationally as Type 'G'.It was designed for use on any normal house mains voltage or frequency and is used in the UK and other countries which have adopted the UK mains power plug and socket system for appliances. It is a very good plug and socket system but not many other countries have adopted it - probably because they didn't invent it!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.
Are the Quileute Legends true?
I 'm An Actual Quileute And Have Lived In Lapush On And Off Throughout my Life. Yeah Our Legend Says That We Descended From Wolves. Our First Tribal Member Was Transformed From A Wolf By K'wa'iti Into A Human.La Push Washington to the right, 12 miles from Forks Washington is home to the Quileute Tribe. According to legend, the tribe was created from wolves by a supernatural transformer. The tribe's lineage stretches back thousands of years to the Ice Age, making them possibly the oldest inhabitants of the Pacific Northwest.Important Quileute Mythological FiguresQ'wati(also spelled K'wati, Kweheti, Kwatee, Q'waeti, K'wa'iti, Qati, Kwati, Qwati, and several other ways.) Q'wati is the benevolent culture hero of Quileute legends, frequently referred to in English as the Transformer. His name is pronounced similar to kwatt-ee, only the "k" is pronounced further back in the throat than English "k" and with a catch in the throat after it. The same character is called Dukwibal or Dokibatt in the Puget Sound Salish tribes, Xelas or Haylas in the Coast Salish tribes, and Misp' or Musp in the Quinault tribe. Q'wati is usually credited with creating the Quileute tribe and their neighbors, teaching them right behavior and cultural skills, and protecting them by changing the environment and getting rid of monsters.Raven (Bayaq or Bayak, in the Quileute language.) Raven is the trickster figure of Quileute legends. His name is pronounced similar to bah-yuck in Quileute. Raven is a clever and generally benign figure who sometimes helps humankind, but he also has many character traits that are viewed negatively in Quileute culture (greed, laziness, arrogance, deceitfulness, and rudeness) and many Quileute legends have to do with Raven misbehaving and getting into trouble because of it.Thunderbird (T'ist'ilal or Tistilal, in the Quileute language.) The Thunderbird is an important figure throughout Northwest Coast mythology. In Quileute, its name is pronounced similar to tiss-tih-lall. The Thunderbird is described by the Quileutes as a bird large enough to carry a whale in its claws, whose beating wings make thunder.Dask'iya (also spelled Dassk'iya, Daskiya, and other ways.) Dask'iya is a cannibal ogress in Quileute stories, sometimes known as a "basket ogress" or "basket woman." She is said to capture children in her basket and carry them home to eat them. Legends about Dask'iya are told to frighten Quileute children and warn them away from bad behavior. Her name is pronounced similar to dusk-ee-yuh. Are the "Cold Ones" from Twilight a real Quileute legend?No. There are no Quileute legends about "Cold Ones" or other vampires. Stephenie Meyer, the author of the "Twilight" books, has stated that she made this fictional vampire legend up herself and only had her Quileute character tell it for the purposes of her plot. However, she did base other parts of her books on real Quileute mythology. For example, it is true that according to legend the Quileute tribe is descended from wolves who were changed into men. Even the tribal name "Quileute" comes from their word for wolf, Kwoli.
What is meaning of ring main unit?
A standard piece of switchgear in distribution systems comprising of switches for switching power cable rings and of switches in series with fuses for the protection of distrbution transformers. RMU: Ring Main Unit. RMU used for H.T.side. RMU is having 3no.s of switches(Circuit Breakers or Isolators or LBS), it is used for two inputs with mechanical or electrical interlock and one outgoing to the load. Either one input with two outgoings. RMU used for redundancy feeder's purpose. Ring main unit is used in a secondary distribution system. It is basically used for an uninterrupted power supply. Alongside, it also protects your secondary side transformer from the occasional transient currents. Depending on your applications and loading conditons you can use a swicth fuse combination or a circuit breaker to protect the transformer. This transformer connected to the switch fuse/ circuit breaker is called your T off. In a common arrangement you have Load break swicthes on both the sides of your T off. Ring main Units come in standard ratings of 11/22/33 kV, 630/1250 A, 21 KA/3 secs.
