Why is it more economical to transmit a ac supply rather than a dc?
They use both. AC is almost universally used because it is easy to convert it to different voltages by step up or down transformers. Over very long distances and in special circumstances DC is used because AC has higher losses. The phase synchronization with other power grids as well as the frequency is also a problem with AC. A common example is where 50 Hz and 60 Hz power systems share resources.
Which is the dangerous current?
You can't really separate them. It's the current flowing through your body that does the damage, but the value of the current depends on the voltage across your body -the higher the voltage, the higher the resulting current.
What is a type 1 circuit breaker?
type 1 is auto reset
it cools off and turns back on
Type 2 is power off reset
turn power off it will reset
type 3 is manual reset
you must turn it off and back on
This is the safest.
The only one I would ever use.
Fuses are far better the contacts cant weld shut with extreme overload
you know something is wrong
so you can see if you mowed the cord with the lawnmower
tossed the blender in the sink
circuit breakers work when something goes badly wrong
type 1 and 2 decide that some magic fairey
has corrected the problem and its ok to apply full power again
Why two point starter used in dc series motor?
The only explanation to that is given by the presence of back emf Eb, which plays a critical role in governing the operation of the motor. The back emf, develops as the motor armature starts to rotate in presence of the magnetic field, by generating action and counters the supply voltage. This also essentially means, that the back emf at the starting is zero, and develops gradually as the motor gathers speed.
The general motor emf equation E = Eb + Ia.Ra,
at starting is modified to E = Ia.Ra as at starting Eb = 0.
What is difference between 24vac and 240 v ac coil?
These are two different rating coils.
I will not take 24V and 240V ac coils in this explanation, I will take low voltage ac coil and high voltage ac coil in the explanation in general.
Low voltage ac coils have low insulation in general compared to the high voltage coils since we need more insulation for the high voltage coils.
Low voltage ac coils have less no of turns and less diameter of coil compared to high voltage ac coils.
But the thickness of the conductor used for the ac coil depends on the current rating of the coil only it does not depends on the voltage.
Here is the formula you use. I = E/R. I = amperage, E = volts, R = resistance in ohms.
What is double voltage double frequency test?
Type your answer here... it is used to find the insulation break down of the conductors from turns to turns and layers to layers.it is aninsulation test for the transformers
What size resistor needed to drop 3 volts dc to 2.5 volts dc?
You will need to take the resistance of the load into account if you are going to design a voltage divider. The resistance of the load can completely change the voltage ratio of a voltage divider if not factored into the calculation.
you can measure or read R(load), then R(needed) = 0.8 R(load)
What is the ratio from no load current to full load current of an induction motor?
The ratio is between 30% to 40 %
What is the unit of measure for reactive power?
Volt Amps [volts times amps] is used for reactive and apparent power. Watts (dimensionally the same as volt amps) is used to indicate real power.
AnswerReactive power is measured in reactive volt amperes (var).
What is ampere rating of a fuse used to protect a 5.5 mm squared conductor?
The equivalent mm2 cross-sectional area of a 5.26 mm2 conductor is a # 10 AWG conductor. A # 10 AWG conductor size is protected by a 30 amp fuse.
How do you calculate voltage using Nernst equation?
The Nernst equation is E = ((-2.3RT)/zF)*(log10 [Ci/Co])
E = equilibrium potential (mV)
z = charge on the ion
(2.3RT)/F = constant (60mV at 37C)
Ci = intracellular concentration
Co = extracellular concentration
The Nernst equation is important because it shows what the equilibrium potential would be for one ion.
E.g. The resting membrane potential is normally ~70mV. So during an action potential Na channels open their gates briefly and Na rush inside the cell. Na is ionized and carries a positive charge. So when Na rushes into the cell it makes the inside of the cell more positive. If you were to break off the gate and allow Na to move freely back and forth, the Nernst equation shows us that the equilibrium point for Na is ~+65mV.

Which circuit draws the largest amount of current from the battery parallel or series?
Well firstly, is the capacitor connected to a DC or AC supply.
On a DC supply the capacitor would draw current until it had fully charged, at which point the current falls to the leakage current. Electrolytic capacitor will always leak a little.
On an AC connection, current will pass continuously, and the capacitor may rupture if connected across an AC supply.
The current that would flow on an AC connection is given by the impedance, which is calculated from the reciprocal of 2 x Pi x F x C
Because it is the reciprocal, the impedance reduces as the capacitance in Farads (F) increases. So, the bigger the capacitance, the higher the current.
Therefore, for AC, only low values of capacitor are found connected across the supply (usually with a resistor in series) for interference snubbing across a contact or switch. Larger values are placed in series with the current, to act as current limiters or high pass filters.
What is the mechanism behind working of weighing machine?
Weight is sensed using a transducer. A weighing machine transducer is usually a spring/piezoelectric component. The resistance of it varies as the weight changes. So does the current through it. This current is sensed, and is converted suitably to output it's weight.
What is formula for kwh in three phase power?
Multiply the power of the load [1.732 x UL IL x power factor], expressed in kilowatts, by the operating time, expressed in hours. This is only practical for a constant load.
What is the formula of energy loss in hysteresis curve?
P/Vol=A/T
P: Power

T: Period
How many amps are used in 241000 kwh in a 3 phase power system?
The voltage can be either 250000 kilovolts or 240 volts, it can't be both so the question can't be answered.
<<>>
There are zero amps in 250,000,000 volts. Amps can be found using the following equations. Amps = Volts/Resistance in ohms, Amps = Watts/Volts and Amps = Sq root of Watts/Resistance in ohms.
What is the main differences between RMS value and average value?
RMS stands for root mean square. This is done so that negative values are then treated as positive values. In AC power for example, the voltage varies between a negative and a positive value. The number is squared and then the square root of this value is taken and the mean (average) of these numbers gives the answer. For example -40 is squared to become 1600 and then the square root of 1600 is taken to become 40 (a negative number becomes a positive number).If this wasn't done then the average value of AC power would be zero.
How are resistor connected in series?
when we want maximum resistance they are connected in series.
when resistors are connected in series total resistance is maximum
when resistors are connected in parallel total resistance is minimum
for series total R=R1+R2+R3.........
for parallel R1 in parallel to R2 total 1/R=(1/R1)+(1/R2) ie R=(R1*R2)/(R1+R2)
What are the factor affecting capacitances of capacitance?
The area of the sheets, the distance between them, and the material between them.
Simply put, a single phase supply has one or two hot wires, may have one neutral wire, and (hopefully) one ground wire. A three phase supply has three hot wires, and may (wye connection) or may not (delta connection) have a neutral. It also will have a ground wire. A more complex explanation involves the phase difference between hot wires. For three phase there is a 120 degree phase difference between each of the three possible pairs of hot conductors A-B, B-C, C-A. For single phase, since there is only one possible pair of hots, there can be no difference.
How does electricity affect human life?
Without electricity the human society goes back to stone age. Almost everything what human does today is with the help of electricity.
People who stay with out electricity are either completely backward and in a state poverty or they are saints in Himalaya.
Can you hook up a delta to delta transformer to be a delta to wye transformer?
The open Delta or V-Connection transformer is an improvement of the 1 three-phase transformer. The open Delta transformer can restore power in a Delta-Delta three-phase bank when one of the three single-phase transformers, which can be individually disconnected and replaced in case of failure, breaks down. The open Delta transformer then allows functionality to be restored, but at a reduced power of 57.7 of the original power.
