What ways are there to convert 480 3 Phase to 208 3 phase?

It depends on your definition of efficiency. 480 can certainly push more power than 208 through the same size conductors, but it would not be efficient to wire a motor for 480 when 208 was all that was needed.

Why induction motor is called polyphase?

Polyphase is a general term that includes all electric power systems using three or more phases.

How much energy will a 5 hp motor consume in an hour?

5 HP MOTOR WOULD CONSUME ENERGY OF 1342800 JOULES IN AN HOUR.

EXPLANATION :-

1 HP = 746 WATTS

THEREFORE 5 HP = 3730 WATTS.

= 373O Joules/sec (since 1WATT= 1 Joules/sec)

=3730 x 3600

= 13428000 Joules/ hour.

How you calculate rated power of lathe machine?

It will be often desirable to know the power which is being consumed in operating a lathe on certain work for which data is required. For most purposes this can be sufficiently approximated by calculating the power of the lathe from the width of the belt and its speed in feet per minute.

For such purposes it is usual among mechanical engineers to consider that a one-inch belt traveling a thousand feet per minute will transmit one horse-power. This will give us a key to the entire calculation.

What kva generator required to run 1.5 tonne ac?

1 ton is about 1 hp or 1 kw

so about 20

caveat:

cant start more than 5 at once

if they are sufficient size to cool their respective spaces

as they reach desired temperature more can be started

should be fine to maintain temperature

What is KW for a 30 amp 220 volt appliance?

220 volt is single phase, so power is the straightforward IxE calculation.

30V X 220A = 6600W = 6.6KW

Why did Martin Cooper make the cell phone?

Martin Cooper invented the cell phone because it was his vision of personal communication, as opposed to mobile phones in automobiles. His inspiration was the communicator on the Star Trek TV series.

State Kirchoffs voltage and current law?

Kirchoffs Current Law : [KCL]

This law is also called Kirchhoff's point rule, Kirchhoff's junction rule (or nodal rule), and Kirchhoff's first rule. The principle of conservation of electric charge implies that: : At any point in an electrical circuit that does not represent a capacitor plate, the sum of currents flowing towards that point is equal to the sum of currents flowing away from that point. Kirchoffs Voltage Law : [KVL]

This law is also called Kirchhoff's second law, Kirchhoff's loop (or mesh) rule, and Kirchhoff's second rule. : The directed sum of the electrical potential differences around any closed circuit must be zero.

Kirchoffs Laws are widely used in the Electrical and Electronic engineering fields.

Hope this helps =)

What is the difference between 0.2s accuracy class and 0.2 accuracy class in meters?

0.2S is more accurate at low currents than 0.2. While both have maximum errors of +/- 0.2% at 100% and 120% of rted current, 0.2S has +/- 0.75% at 1%, 0.35% at 5% and 0.2% at 20 % of rated current while 0.2 has 0.75% at 5% and 0.35% at 20% rated current. These values are found in IEC Standard 60044, Tables 11 and 12.

Why Schottky diodes are used in wave shaping circuits?

Schottky diodes are often used for RF radio frequency applications as a mixer or detector diode.

Another common application for the Schottky diode is in power applications as a rectifier.

What are the Application of single phase induction motor?

Split-phase motors are used in many applications that require a medium amount of performance from a single phase source. Many of the motors used in homes that are supplied by single phase power are split-phase motors.

Some applications include running fans, blowers, water pumps, air compressors, conveyor belts, and more. The only limits on the applications that can use split-phase motors are the availability of single phase power and the charectoristics of the motor itself.

What is the formulae for a 3 phase circuit to calculate the power?

watts = volts * amps * 1.73 * power factor

If the load is resistive, such as a heater or incandescent lamp, use 1.0 for power factor.

For reactive loads such as motors, the power factor is usually found on the nameplate.

Comment

More specifically, for a balanced load (and ONLY for a balanced load) power is the product of 1.73 and the line voltage and the line current and the power factor.

What is the function of armature winding of a motor?

Armature is a rotating part of the machine, the coil which wound in the core of that rotating part.

What is working principle and construction of bridge rectifier?

A full wave bridge rectifier converts AC (Alternating Current) into DC (Direct Current) with an AC component. To achieve DC only, the output of the bridge rectifier must have the AC component removed by bypassing it, usually with capacitors.

It consists of 4 diodes in a bridge format. During one half of an AC cycle, two of the diodes conduct and on the other half a cycle the other two conduct. Diodes allow current to flow in one direction only.

A diagram can be found at http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_6/chpt_5/5.html

What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?

Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.

One horsepower equal how many watts?

Approximately 746 watts of usuable power are equivalent to 1 horsepower. A 1hp motor, under full load, will draw more than 746 watts due to the inherent losses in the motor itself.

What the effect of high neutral current in 3 phase system?

The neutral current in a three-phase, four-wire, a.c. unbalanced load is the phasor-sum (vector-sum) of the three phase currents. That's more-easily said than done, as the maths can be quite difficult -certainly too difficult to explain in WikiAnswers, so you should refer to a textbook which covers the topic. Probably the best approach is to use the 'a-operator', the equivalent of the 'j-operator' used for single-phase loads.

How do determine the power of a motor?

It depends on the refrigerator. Mostly the average is about 240~280v

So i wouldn't touch it if I were you!

How to wire a split capacitor motor?

Your two hot wires go to the load side of your contractor and the two brown wires go to your capacitor

How many kilowatt do 100 watt bulbs use?

That depends both on the light bulb's power rating, and how long you want to light it! Use the formula:

energy = power x time

If the power is in watts and the time in seconds, then the energy will be in joules (= watt-seconds).

Alternately, if the power is given in watts, you can divide by 1000 to convert to kilowatts. Then, if you multiply by hours, you get kilowatt-hours. Note that the unit used by utility companies tp charge you is kilowatt-hours.

How long did it take to build a maglev train?

it depend how you look at they came up with several similar thing that were not quit maglev train starting for the 1900's but the actual model started in 2001 and finish in 2005 so it about 4 years

Advantages of bank capacitor?

Capacitor banks can improve the power factor if the load is leading, which is unusual. Typically in substations capacitor banks are employed to reduce over voltage.
