What is the EMF equation of alternator?

EMF equation of DC GeneratorE = (ΦNPZ) / (60 * A)

where,

E = e.m.f induced in any parallel path in armature

Φ = flux per pole in weber

N = armature rotation in revolutions per minute (r.p.m)

P = No.of generator poles

Z = total number of armature conductors

A = No.of parallel paths in armature

What is the power consumption of a load when running on single phase or on three phase?

For comparing cost copper requirement is necessary

copper in 3 phase = .75(copper in single phase)

i.e. less cost in 3 phase when

1. line voltage is same

2. equal power input

3 same power loss

When the phase voltage is same & 2,3 conditions met then equal cost.

A component in an automobile 12-V electrical system has a resistance of 60 ohms How much current is in the component when in operation?

1st writer: You have Ohms law written wrong, here is an easy formula to use to get the right answer: V/IxR but the answer is .2 Amps (note the right answer)

2nd writer: You both have it written wrong. Ohm's Law is V=IxR. This can be used to solve Voltage, Current and Resistance with two givens. Then, when Power is presented through Watt's Law (P=IxV), you are able to solve for any of the four also with two givens. http://www.aob.com.au/resources.html Here's OUR set-up: I=V/R

This is the substitution: I=12V/60Ω Answer=0.2A OR 200mA

What is electric current voltage?

At the typical U.S. home, the voltage at the wall outlet is somewhere between 110 and 120 Volts AC. Most U.S. homes also have 220 Volts (which is actually somewhere between 220 and 240 VAC) available, but not wired to most rooms.

How do you calculate current in a series circuit?

voltage over resistance/impredance.

V

/

I * R

V= Voltage

I= Current

R= Resistance or Impedance

Cover what you want to know and the way the other two are laid out gives you your equation.

Why semiconductors does not obey ohms law?

Tungsten is an example of a conductor that does not obey Ohm's Law. If you were to plot a graph of current against voltage, over a range of voltages, you will find that the result is a curve - showing that current is not directly proportional to voltage, which is the requirement for Ohm's Law.

While the ratio of voltage to current will indicate what the resistance happens to be for that particular ratio, you will find that, for tungsten, that ratio continually changes as you increase voltage - proving that tungsten does not obey Ohm's Law. The general rule is that if there is no straight-line relationship between voltage and current, then Ohm's Law doesn't apply.

The equation, R = V/R, does notrepresent Ohm's Law; it is derived from the definition of the ohm. Ohm's Law is a law of constant proportionality and constant proportionality only applies to linear conductors.

How many units are in 1 mega watt?

Your question is wrong. Kwh is a unit of energy, mw is a unit of power .

1kw=1000000milli watt(mw)

1kwh=1000000mwh

How can a capacitor filter the AC and DC?

A capacitor consists of two plates separated from one another by an insulator. These plates are normally thin foil and can be sandwiched around a very thin insulator and wrapped into a small package. Since there is an insulator between the plates, DC connected to the two plates cannot flow as long as you do not exceed the breakdown voltage of the insulator. AC current is a different story. Because the insulator is very thin and the effective plate area is relatively large, a negative charge building up on one plate causes electrons to be repelled from the opposite plate, and as the charge on the first plate reverses and becomes positive, the electrons in the opposite plate are attracted back again. This results in a matching alternating current flow on the opposite side of the capacitor.

What causes voltage to increase and decrease?

If you are referring to the voltage at your residence, then voltage variation is caused by the changes to the load on your supply network. The network load varies throughout the day, being busiest, for example, around lunchtime and around dinnertime. The resulting load current variation causes the supply voltage to vary (it drops when the load current increases) but, by law, your supplier is obliged to maintain any voltage variation within limits -in the UK, for example, these limits are between +10% and -6% of the nominal 230 V.

What are some characteristics for a shaded pole motor?

The rotor is made up of laminated steel discs that are pressed on to a common shaft. This shaft has bearings mounted on either end which allows the rotor to spin within the frame of the motor. The shorting bars on the rotor are usually made of aluminium.

What is definition of impedence?

Impedance is usually written in equations as Z. Impedance is the real resistance (usualyl referred to as R), and the imaginary / reactive opposition (using an imaginary number 'i' or 'j', depending on your area of study). Z = R + j*n, where 'n' is the reactive opposition.

Additional Answer

Current, in an A.C. circuit, is opposed by the resistance(R) of that circuit and the reactance (X) of that circuit. Reactance may be 'inductive reactance' (XL) or 'capacitive reactance' (XC) -depending on the nature of the circuit.

Inductive reactance is directly proportional to the supply frequency; capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the supply frequency; resistance is independent of frequency.

Impedance (Z) is the vector sum (not algebraic sum) of a circuit's resistance and reactance, and may be considered as the total opposition to the flow of A.C. current.

Resistance, reactance, and impedance are each measured in ohms.

How does a magnetic accelerator work?

Energy changes from ball to ball down the accelerator just as it does in Newton's cradle. It functions on the transfer of momentum.

Role of stator and rotor in synchronous and induction motor?

Stator is part of rotating mechanical device thats sorrounds the rotor to rotate it through the induced magnetic field while the Rotor, is the one who is rotated by produced magnetic field in the stator,.

How does resistivity depends on temperature of conductors?

The resistance of a simple conductor normally rises as its temperature rises.

What is armored cable made from?

Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Unarmored electrical cable has no protective flexible steel covering, its covering is made of plastic.

<><><>

Armored cable (BX) is the older version of Metal Clad cable (MC). It was flexible steel covered wire that used the steel as it's Ground. BX was a poor grounding system so it was replaced with MC which looks similar but has a separate Grounding conductor. MC is most often made with aluminum as its cover.

Armored cable if used today will refer to MC type wiring.

<><><>

Some kinds of armored cable are in fact made to a tougher standard than the ordinary soft wire strand types of shielded cable that are used for hooking-up antennas. The 'armor' is actually a thin flexible metal film that better protects the wire or wires inside from damage in high use or high traffic areas. Such kinds of armored cable are also used in radio frequency assemblies in electronic equipment.

What the applecation of universal motor?

universal motor r mostly used for domestic purpose applicatios like the vaccum cleaner,foodprocessors and mixeshair driers,coffee grinders,electric shavers etc....another applications for blowers.

Fusing current capacity depend which factors?

Fusing currents is combining two or more wires together to join the currents. A critical factor is the temperature of the wire.

What is the use of centrifugal switch in single phase induction motors do all single phase motors gave them?

To stop a three-phase motor dead ('plugging'), rather than allowing it to slow to a stop, the motor controller interchanges two of the three lines -which applies a reverse torque to the machine. But before the motor then gets a chance to reverse direction, the centrifugal switch trips the starter and removes the supply.

<<>>

The centrifugal switch that you refer to and can see in an open frame motor, is used to open the start winding of small HP single phase motors. Once the motor gets up to a certain RPM, the switch opens and the motor continues to operate on its run winding. When the motor stops, the switch goes back to its normally closed position in the start winding and awaits the next start operation.

What is the working principle of differential engine?

A differential in an automobile is used to transfer the power to rear drive axles from the transmission in rear wheel drive vehicles. In 4-wheel drive, the two differentials transfer power from the transfer case to the wheels. Most front wheel drive vehicles use a transaxle which combines a transmission and differential in the same case. Again, one of the roles is to transfer power to the wheels.

However, it does more than that. It allows one wheel in the set to turn faster than the other. That is so the vehicle can negotiate curves without skidding.

What are 2 ways you could alter a wire to increase the resistance in an electric current?

#1). Thinner wire.
Either replace a wire with one composed of thinner material, or
stretch the existing wire slightly so that it becomes thinner.

#2). Longer wire of the same thickness.

How do you calculate maximum current of 3 phase motor?

By using a simple formulae: f=np/60 where f= frequency, n is the number of pair of poles and 60 is in seconds that motor is turning. So a 4 pole motor with a frequency of 50 hertz will run at 1500 rpm.

By manupilating the formulae:

n= 50 multiplied by 60 devided by 2

therefore n= 1500rpm.

The formula 120xFrequency/poles gives synchronous speed not actual shaft RPM. Induction motors must run at a certain % slip to obtain torque, so a 4 pole motor running at 50hz would be 120x50/4 = 1500 rpm, at 4% slip (operating speed) actual shaft RPM or rated speed would be 1440 RPM.

What are the disadvantages in votage series and voltage shunt feedback amplifiers?

Voltage series feedback amplifiers can suffer from reduced input impedance, which may affect signal source loading. They can also introduce phase shifts that may lead to stability issues. Conversely, voltage shunt feedback amplifiers can lead to increased output impedance, which may limit their effectiveness in driving loads. Additionally, both configurations can experience bandwidth limitations due to feedback network design.

What will happen if 50 Hz equipment connected to 60 Hz?

If you connect 50 Hz current , it may signal to 60 Hz sub-woofer than nothing will happen your sound system will play simply. but mind the amplitude or voltage of applied signal. if you increase voltage which is far then the range than your system may damage.

Why is it that 2 parallel wires carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other?

two wires carrying currents in opposite direction repel each other because the magnetic field between the wires is strong than on the sides of the wires.wires will move towards the weaker magnetic field from stronger field
