How do you describe what amps is?

Amps ain't nothing really until you cut on a light switch in your house. It's a term of electricity measurement of which is being used in a circuit. Say you have an unlit 50 watt light bulb in your den plugged into the 110 volt outlet. The 110 volts is there ready to operate the lamp. Cut it on and the electron flow is called current. Replace the bulb with a 100 watt bulb and the current flow will double. Cut off all the lights and the power meter on your house will run slower and you use less current and will have a lower electric bill next month.

What are some posture and resistance constants of an effective resistance?

Effective resistance in electrical circuits is determined by the arrangement of components and their resistance values. Key factors include the total resistance in series (sum of individual resistances) and parallel (inverse of the sum of the inverses of individual resistances). Additionally, posture constants such as temperature can influence resistance, as most materials have a temperature coefficient that affects their resistivity. Understanding these principles allows for accurate predictions of current flow and voltage drop in circuits.

What is the opposite of a parallel circuit?

It is not the "opposite" but the major alternative to parallel, which is a series circuit. In parallel circuits, each component has its own circuit path (input to output), while in series the components are connected to one another in a line.

What are industrial applications of DC shunt motors?

Dc shunt motor is a constant flux and constant speed motor . So that it is used in centrifugal pumps ,machine tools ,blowers and fans etc.

Can you convert 415v 3 phase to 230v single phase?

415V 3 phase is the line to line voltage. The line to neutral of this supply is 230V single phase. Therefore you use one of the phases and the neutral.

What are the advantages of three phase circuits over single phase circuits?

3-phase is used to transmit power over distance because less wire is needed for a given amount of power. 3-phase induction motors produce a steady torque and don't need a starting coil to make them start rotating the right way.

How many watts does it take to equal ten horsepower?

A horsepower is equal to 746 watts, so 10 x 746 = 7,460 watts.

What constitute dangerous occurrences and hazardous malfunctions?

Dangerous occurrences are those conditions or actions which have the potential to cause hazardous malfunctions. Hazardous malfunctions are failures of objects or assemblies which potentially may cause injury to operators or bystanders.

Can you connect three phase AC voltage directly to motor?

I assume your question relates to the need for a disconnect switch. To meet code you need a disconnect switch in the proximity of the motor so that should the need arise the motor can be disconnected for safe maintenance or in an emergency. The motor will work directly connected, but you will create a safety issue.

How do you test an electrical motor to see if is electrically faulty?

There is only two test you can do measure on the Ohm scale the resistance at the power connection if there is a reading then it means it's not open but that's not an indication that the motor is Ok, then measure on the MOhm scale between the body of the motor and any of the power connections if there is a reading then the motor have a internal short, the best is to open the motor and inspect it for black spots on the coils your nose is the best test smell it

What is the relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a FULL-wave rectifier?

The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave.

If the input is a square wave, the output is DC.

If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.

What is a three phase induction motor?

Induction motor is nothing but rotating transformer it works on principle of mutual induction , mainly induction motor consists of rotor and stator,stator is excited by three phase supply and rotor is shorted through resistances and slip rings. When ever stator is excited by three phase supply a rotating magnetic field running at synchronous speed is produced which in turn cuts the rotor winding causes flowing of current results in production of magnetic fields in rotor which having less than synchronous speed (slip speed), then the interaction of these stator and rotor magnetic fields produces a twisting moment in the rotor called synchronous speed

What are safety precautions of Ohms law?

no idea at all....

Otherwise you'd have known it by now !!!

Sorry.

What is the effect on the supply current if the capacitor is removed?

It depends on how the capacitor is connected and whether the supply voltage is a.c. or d.c. Assuming you are talking about a power-factor improvement capacitor (connected in parallel with an inductive load, supplied with a.c.), then the supply current will reduce.

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.

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)
