How do you convert 2.2kVA to amps?

You can't convert kVA (kilovolt.amps) to current (amps) unless you know the source voltage and/or load resistance (ohms) which is drawing the current from the source.

If you know the voltage in kilovolts, you just divide the kilovolt.amps figure by the number of kilovolts and the result is the current in amperes.

If you know both source voltage and load resistance you can use Ohm's Law to get the current:

I = V / R

In words, Ohm's law is:

Current (amps) = Voltage divided by Resistance (ohms)

What is the rated current when a step down transformer is 50kVA and 120v in step down to 24v?

The VA of the transformer is the product of the amps x the volts. V x A = Watts. 50kVa is equal to 50,000 watts. It holds true on the primary and the secondary. The formula to use is I = W/E. Amperage = Watts (V x A)/volts.

Answer

The above answer will determine the rated currents of the primary/secondary windings. But the actual currents (which shouldn't exceed their rated values for any length of time) are determined by the load. For example, with no load, no secondary current will be flowing, and the primary current will be reduced to its magnetising current value.

What is the meaning of DYN 11 on a transformer nameplate?

What does Dd0, Dyn11, YNd5 etc. mean?

First symbol/symbols, capital letters: HV winding connection.

Second symbol/symbols, small letters: LV winding connection.

Third symbol, number: Phase displacement expressed as the clock hour number.

Winding connection designations

High Voltage Always capital letters

Delta - D

Star - S

Interconnected star - Z

Neutral brought out - N

Low voltage Always small letters

Delta - d

Star - s

Interconnected star - z

Neutral brought out - n

Phase displacement

Phase rotation is always anti-clockwise. (international adopted convention)

Use the hour indicator as the indicating phase displacement angle. Because there are 12 hours on a clock, and a circle consists out of 360°, each hour represents 30°.

Thus 1 = 30°, 2 = 60°, 3 = 90°, 6 = 180° and 12 = 0° or 360°.

The minute hand is set on 12 o'clock and replaces the line to neutral voltage (sometimes imaginary) of the HV winding. This position is always the reference point.

Because rotation is anti-clockwise, 1 = 30° lagging (LV lags HV with 30°)and 11 = 330° lagging or 30° leading (LV leads HV with 30°)

To summarise:

Dd0

Delta connected HV winding, delta connected LV winding, no phase shift between HV and LV.

Dyn11

Delta connected HV winding, star connected LV winding with neutral brought out, LV is leading HV with 30°

YNd5

Star connected HV winding with neutral brought out, delta connected LV winding, LV lags HV with 150°

How do you reverse the rotation of a 110 volt motor?

As long as it is an induction 110 volt motor it can be reversed; if it is any other type of motor it cannot be reversed. You will have to get into the windings to bring both leads to the start in order to make it go in reverse.

<<>>

A split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.

When there is a break on the circuit what is the reading?

The typical answer is current is zero when there is a break in the circuit. It depends on the complexity of the circuit, there may be other paths for the current to flow, such that if there is a break in one part of the circuit, the rest of the circuit still has current flow (but a different value than designed).

If you are reading voltage, and there is a break then that will change, also depending on the complexity. If it is a single loop, and you're reading voltage before the break, your voltmeter will read the same voltage as the voltage source, since there is no current flowing between any resistors between the meter and the source. If you're reading voltage after the break then the meter will read zero (0) volts.

What Type of equipment of circuit breaker?

Well from my experience , i know that the equipment used for testing is called, Electroclysis Differentiator with a Dicasidace Robinium resistor.

What is a phasor diagram and why you draw it?

Theoretically, it can be drawn at any angle. Normally, however. it is drawn along the real, positive, axis (i.e. facing East). For series circuits, the reference phasor is the current and, for parallel circuits, the reference phasor is the voltage. For transformers, it is the flux.

Difference between a generator and a motor?

A generator converts kinetic energy into electrical energy; a motor converts electrical energy into kinetic energy.

What is insulation in transformer?

Depending on the size of the transformer, several different types of insulator are used. These include varnishes, plastics, paper, and fabrics (to insulate the windings), wood (spacers), and oil. Transformer oil improves the insulation value of paper, fabrics, and wood when absorbed by them. The oil has a secondary purpose, which is to cool the transformer.

What is the power of AC generators measured in kW or kVA?

Yes, you can use both, but watts is more useful; it provides the total amount of power the generator can output.

Can you replace a 3 phase motor with a gas motor?

by using dc volts across pairs and with an analog meter to check the deflection of the needle to determine if they are in phase

How many kW in 1HP?

1.8 kilowatts = 2.4 hp

<<>>

The conversion is 746 watts are equal to 1 horsepower. To change 1.8 kilowatts to watts is 1.8 x 1000 = 1800 watts. Therefore 1800/746 = 2.4 horsepower. This is how the answer above was obtianed.

Why motor burn at single phasing?

A 3-phase motor will not run on single-phase power or if one of the three phases is disconnected. If the motor is not running, there is no back-EMF generated in the coils, and they draw excessive current, thus overheating.

What is the working principle of pressure transmitter?

I think your are asking about the working principle of a pneumatic transmitter. (not transmeter) A pneumatic transmitter measures liquds or air temperatures over a given range-usually a 200 degree temperature range. The range, selected for its purpose could be -40 to +160 or 0 to 200 -as in the case of Honeywell or even 100 deg. ranges, as in the case of say-Johnson Controls. (0-100) Aside from temperature range, the other important criteria is the output of the transmitter. In the case of commercial controls, the correlation of 200 degree temperatures (which is 201 values, not 200) occurs over a pressure span/output of 3 to 15 pounds.(13 values) For example, in the case of a 200 degree transmitter of say 0 to 200 degrees, the zero temperature value output equates to a 3 psi signal. At 200 degrees, the top of the range, the transmitter would output a 15 psi signal. In other words every degree change up from zero degrees would account for a pressure increase (rounded)of .064 psi. (13 pounds divided by 201 degrees)=.0646766) Pneumatic transmitters are typically direct acting and are one-pipe constant bleed devices. Their working principle involves movement of a flapper a given distance in direct response to the sensed temperature acting upon it. As the temperature rises, the bleed port positions itself toward a closed position which allows less air to escape to atmosphere. Less air to atmosphere dictates more air building up in the air line. This value is then transmitted/measured by the controller-which is pneumatically attached to the transmitter.

Why you use brushes for single phase induction motors?

There no brushes in an induction motor. The rotor is independent and is a short-circuited cage of parallel bars.

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.

Why does a star delta motor run at a very slow speed on delta after changing from star to delta?

There could be several different reasons for a motor to run slower than it should do after it has been switched over from star to delta connection.

Here are some possible reasons, but there may be others:

  • its star-delta starter unit has a fault or has some bad external connections
  • a broken or disconnected phase winding (or windings) inside the motor's frame.

<><><>

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.

What is a transformer and what principle is used in transformer?

A transformer is a static device which converts electrical energy from one circuit to another circuit without changing frequency, power, power factor.

It works on the principle of faradays laws of electro magnetic induction.

Could i hang from a power line?

Yes, that is exactly the way they service high-tension lines: they are deposited from helicopters, attach themselves directly to the power line and work from there! As long as they do not touch another line or anything that is "grounded" (connected to earth), they are fine, as they do not form a "circuit".

=================================

Linemen are not 'deposited from helicopters'.

They are lifted from the ground in the 'bucket' of a so-called 'cherry picker' truck,

insulated from the ground by its tires. A ring of warning cones is placed around the

truck, and man-carrying bucket is then attached to the line. At that point, the

bucket, the man, and the truck are all at the voltage on the line. The man in the

bucket may safely handle the line, and nobody has a problem unless he happens

to be walking by on the ground and decides to catch hold of the truck.,
