What is the Working principle of proximity sensor?
there are different types of proximity sensors namely inductive capacitance and infrared. the working principle of inductive proximity sensor is,
it consists coil, oscillator, detector and trigger circuit. when current flows through a coil magnetic field will be generated and when the metal get contact with that field
the voltage is induced in the metal the detector detects this loss in voltage and triggering circuit will give the contact output...

What is the need of extra high voltage transmission lines?
it is cheaper to use high voltage of transmission because, it is cheaper to boost the voltage
up really high and keeps the current low, also the big pylons with huge insulators will
reduce the energy wasted. the transformer have to step the voltage up for efficient
transmissions and it bring back down to safe usable levels. the voltage is increase
by a step up transformer it's then reduced again at the consumer end using a step
down transformer.
The only thing missing from the above narrative is the reason itself:
Every conductor has some resistance. When an electric current flows through a
conductor, the resistance of the conductor causes loss of some of the energy. The
loss is LESS when the voltage is higher and the current is smaller. The big pylons,
the huge insulators, and all the step-up and step-down transformers wouldn't be
necessary if the voltage was the same 110 volts all the way from the generating
plant to your house. But shipping it at high voltage saves more energy than the
cost of all that extra infrastructure.
Why the secondary of the current transformer should not be open circuited?
The secondary of a CT must always have a load connected. An open circuit secondary can result in the development of a dangerously high secondary voltage. If a CT is energized but is not used, the output terminals of the CT must be shorted out.
Can you power a motor directly form a dynamo?
Yes, like the dynamo on a bicycle that provides power for the light, instead it can run an electric motor with the help of a few cheap diodes(Bridge diode setup)
How do conductors obey the Ohm's law?
Very few conductors obey Ohm's Law, and its the rise in temperature of the conductor when current flows though it that prevents it from obeying Ohm's Law. Some alloys, such as constantan, obey Ohm's Law over a limited range because, over that range, changes in temperature don't affect their resistance.
It's really time that we stopped teaching Ohm's Law, as it is not universal, and applies to very few conductors and hardly any electronic components!
How do i calculate Prospective fault current?
The 2011 National Electrical Code introduced a new Article. 110.24 - requiring a LABEL on non-dwelling Electrical Services indicating both the date and the Maximum Available Fault Current (MAFC) calculation at the Line In Terminals of the Main Overcurrent Protective Device. The Formula is relatively simple once the Electrical Contractor obtains the FAULT DUTY (Also termed Maximum Fault Current) from the Utility. This data represents the Transformer KVA Rating, the voltage at the secondary and the Per Unit Impedance at the Secondary terminals of the providing Transformer. MAFC is then calculated considering the Type of Wire from the Transformer terminals, the type of raceway utilized, and the Number of Sets of Service Entry Conductors associated with the installation.
The formula for a typical 3 phase 4 wire Service is:
Sq Root of 3 X L (Wire Length) X I (Short Circuit Current Utility provided) DIVIDED BY:
C (Constant) X n (Sets of SE Conductors X E (Line to Line Voltage XF Secondary)
This answer is termed Calculating the "F" Factor. F factor is then simply compared to a Chart to find a multiplier "M". {Always Less Than One (1)}
This multiplier M is times the XF SCC. This answer is the Maximum Available Fault Current. Note that the type of raceway, PVC or Metallic, the type of Wire, Copper or Aluminum, the number of "barrels" will affect by inductive reactance or impedance of the conductors, by lowering, to a small degree, the SCC at the
providing transformer. The most difficult number in the formula is the Constant "C", which must be obtained from an outside source such as Cooper Bussman's Point to point AFC calculation chart. Both "C" and "F" > "M" are located in the
Point to point Guide at Cooper Bussman. Electrical Inspectors will verify the MAFC Calculation and the Date of the Calculation when the Electrical Contractor places the required label on the Service Equipment, per NEC 2011 110.24
Keep in mind the Service Equipment (SUSE Rated) must have a SCCR Rating on its manufacturers plate. The SCCR (Short Circuit Current Rating) Must be higher than the Maximum Available Fault Current at it's Service Line in Terminals.

KVA = Root 3 VI
I = KVA *1000 / 1.73 * 415
I = 500000 / 717
I = 697 Approx
AnswerIt depends on the rated voltage of the generator.
Why is induction motor called asynchronous motor?
We know that relative speed is responsible to induce voltage. If rotor and the rotating field (stator) speed is same, no voltage will induced because relative speed will be zero. For IM relative speed is not zero and it does not move with sync. speed, and so it is called asynchronous motor.
How are transformers used in electricity transmission?
Transforming voltages, the primary and secondary voltages are universally linked by the number of primary and secondary windings upon the transformer core.
A: Mostly for isolation and transferring of power to a level easily to use

Because of the high cost of transmitting power at low voltage and high current levels, transformers satisfy a most critical part in electrical circulation frameworks. Utilities disseminate power over extensive territories utilizing high voltages, ordinarily called transmission voltages. Transmission voltages are ordinarily in the 35,000 volt to 50,000 volt range. We realize that volts times amps rises to watts, and that wires are measured based upon their capacity to convey amps. High voltage permits the utility to utilize little sizes of wire to transmit large amounts of force, or watts. You can perceive transmission lines in light of the fact that they are upheld by vast steel towers that you see around utility force plants and substations. As this power gets closer to its purpose of utilization it is changed over, through the utilization of transformers, to a lower voltage ordinarily called circulation voltage. Circulation voltages range from 2,400 to 25,000 volts relying on the utility. Dissemination lines are the ones that sustain the shaft mount and cushion mount transformers found nearest to your home or spot of business. These transformers change over the dissemination voltages to what we call use voltages. They are ordinarily underneath 600 volts and are either single-stage or three-stage and are used for working hardware, including lights and vacuum cleaners in our homes, to engines and lifts where we work. This is the time when the Dry-Type Distribution Transformer becomes possibly the most important factor. It is utilized to change over the voltage gave by the utility to the voltage we have to work different hardware.
MCC (Motor Control Center) panel is used for distributing power to electric motors. mcc is made up of steel structure to contain the combination motor control units,wire ways,internal wiring and busbars.
How air condition system is closed loop control system?
Air conditioner system senses the room temperature and then decides how much cooling has to be provided to room as per the setting. Say u need only 20 degree Celsius only.
To elaborate, in a closed loop system, the output in some way shape or form is fed back into the input of the control system. With an air conditioning system, the output is temperature. This temperature is read, and fed back into the control system to determine if additional cooling is needed or not.
An example of an open loop system would be if you programmed the air conditioning to turn on from 11AM to 5PM, then turn off. The output of the system (temperature) doesn't effect the input (when the system runs).
Why dc motor is not named as conduction motor?
In dc motors, the electric power is conducted directly to the armature (i.e., rotating part) through brushes & commutator. Hence, in this sense a dc motor can be called as a Conduction motor.
However, in ac motors, the rotor does not receive any electric power by conduction but by induction in exactly the same way as the secondary of a two winding transformer receives its power from the primary. That is why such motors are called as Induction motors. An induction motor can be treated as a rotating transformer i.e., one in which primary winding is stationary but secondary is free to rotate.
A DC shunt motor is a motor using DC supply with the the inductor connected parallel to the armature.
Explain why the outside cases of electric appliances ususally are made of plastic?
Plastic is a good insulator and a bad conductor of electricity, which makes it a good material to protect people from electric shocks when handling appliances.
On top of that, plastics are inexpensive and easy to shape.
What is three-phase unbalanced load?
A balanced three phase load is where the current flowing in all three phases of the load are reasonably close to each other.
Another answer
When the voltage and measured current draw do not deviate by more than 2 percent under load.
AnswerA balanced three-phase load is one in which each of the three loads is identical in all respects (magnitude and phase). Further to the first answer, the three line currents must not all be 'reasonably close', they must be identical -i.e. the same value and phase relationship.
What is megger and how does it work?
Purpose: The megger tests the integrity of the insulation between conductors that run side by side and do not physically meet or connect. Meggers or Mega-ohm testers also are typically used to test the dielectric in coaxial cable. Meggers are used to test the insulation of buried cables by placing a lead to earth ground and one lead to the outer conductor of a coax cable or any or all conductors of multiple (more than one) buried wires. Method: introduce a high enough voltage to the conductors eventually the current will travel betwen the conductors. Read the indicator to see the amount of resistence to current flow on the meter indicator. the reading will generally be in millions of Ohms (megohms)
What is the major difference between ACB and MCCB?
Characteristics
Characteristics
Characteristics
The most widely used are 30 mA (milliamp) and 100 mA devices. A current flow of 30 mA (or 0.03 amps) is sufficiently small that it makes it very difficult to receive a dangerous shock. Even 100 mA is a relatively small figure when compared to the current that may flow in an earth fault without such protection (hundred of amps)
A 300/500 mA RCCB may be used where only fire protection is required. eg., on lighting circuits, where the risk of electric shock is small.
What color band markings would be used on a 2.2 k resistor?
A 2.2 k resistor would be banded red, red, red, and possibly other bands depending on tolerance, etc.
The first two bands, red and red, mean 2 and 2. The third band means 2 zeros. The result is 2200.
0 black
1 brown
2 red
3 orange
4 yellow
5 green
6 blue
7 violet
8 grey
9 white
Fourth band:
none 20%
silver 10%
gold 5%
If the third band is gold or silver, then the multiplier is 0.1 or 0.01, respectively. For example, red, red, silver means 0.22 ohms.
What happens to the current in a circuit if one resistance is doubled or halved?
P1 = V I1, Therefore, if P2=0.5*P1, then
I2=0.5*P1/V, or 0.5*I1
and if P3=2*P1, then
I3=2*P1/V, or 2*I1
In other words, current is proportional to power and inversely proportional to voltage.
-48 v is given to BTS because in this voltage Noise
generation is minimum.
Because two terminal comes out from the battery and
through red color wire we ground the +ive terminal so that
possibility of noise interference will get zero because noise
occurs only in the +ive terminal that's why we use -ive
voltage in the BTS.
1 megohm is 0.1 gigaohm.
1 gigaohm is 1000 megaohm.
1 megohm = 1,000,000 ohms = 106 ohms.
1 gigaohm = 1,000,000,000 ohms =109 ohms.
How do you calculate current capacity of transformer?
The secondary winding's current rating is the rated apparent power of the transformer (expressed in volt amperes) divided by its voltage rating (expressed in volts). This applies to both step down, and step up, transformers.
