What is working principle ammeter?

Wattmeters are used for the measurement of dielectric power loss.

It is also useful for the calibration of commercial forms of wattmeter and watt-hour meter in laboratories.

What is the difference between ac arc and dc arc welding?

Both are shielded metal welders but differ in the electricity they use. Ac welders can weld heavier metal while dc welders are better for thinner metals. Ac welders can weld magnetized metals. Dc welders can not. The arc in an ac welder is harder to control because of the pulsating current. Dc welders are more expensive. Some welding machines offer both options.

How do you convert 60hz into 50hz?

I'm going to assume you're referring to the frequency of AC (Alternating Current) and I'm going to assume that you're asking because you have some device that wants 50Hz and you are faced with a 60Hz supply. That is a lot of assumptions but you didn't give a lot of information.


It is possible but you'd have to convert the 60Hz AC to DC then back to 50Hz AC. It would involve some expensive equipment. I'm not aware of a one-box solution but you could piece together a system with an AC-DC battery charger, adequate storage batteries, and a DC-AC power inverter. Depending on your application, you might be better off replacing the equipment that won't run on 60Hz.


Before running off and spending your money on this, check the labels for your equipment. The label on my laptop power supply says it accepts 110vac-240vac at 50/60Hz. If you're going to run into problems it would most likely be with electric motors.

What are the disadvantages of transmitting electric power at high voltage levels?

The main disadvantage is that high voltage causes surrounding air ionization and may cause negative health effects for people close by. However, electric losses will be less when electricity is transmitted at high voltage. The higher the voltage the less the electric losses.

How does polarity affect electrons?

By switching from one pH range to another, the compound changes its polarity and its preference for residing in either a polar or non-polar solvent.

What is the Function of light bulb in an electric circuit?

The function of a light bulb in an electric circuit is that it turns electrical energy into light.

At what voltage does electric train operate?

The transformer for n HO scale train has a primary voltage of 115 volts. There is a tap off for accessories that is 17 volts AC and a rectified DC voltage to apply to the track at 10 VDC at 1 amp.

Who is the fattest transformer?

well it depends on if their alive or were alive. If it has to be one that's alive i reckon optimus prime but it would have probably been one of the original primes that's my opinion

How eddy current losses andhysterious losses can be reduced?

eddy current can be reduced by using laminated cores. and also be reducing the thickness of the stampings. transformer iron loss is the combination of eddy current loss and hysterisis loss. both the losses depend on core of the transformer and iron loss is a constant loss.

Why is it important to phase out the use of chlorofluorocarbons?

Countries agreed at the Montreal Conference to ban the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). It was clear to everyone that CFCs were damaging the ozone layer and this could lead to severe damage to humans. This ban has been the most successful international intervention ever. No CFCs are now being released and scientists hope the ozone level will have self-repaired by 2060 (CFCs hang about in the atmosphere for up to 75 years!).

What causes maximum secondary coil voltage?

I would hazard a guess and say that it is a bad coil.

If a three phase motor loses one leg will it turn backwards before it burns up?

If a three phase motor loses one leg it will do neither of what you suggest. To change the rotation of a three phase motor any two motor leads must be interchanged. When one leg of a three phase system goes down it is said to be single phasing. The overload protection on the motor senses the higher current on the other two legs and trips the overload heaters. This in turn drops the contactor open and disconnects the motor from the supply.

What do circuits contain?

Usually, in electric theory and circuits, the components of an electric circuit are called "elements"... however, depending on the subject matter, the answer could vary from electrons, current, or voltage to something like wires, integrated circuits, chips, or even lead!

How do you convert kwh to amps?

There is no kva in volts, kva stands for kilo = 1000, volt = working voltage, amps = maximum amperage draw at that voltage. eg. 1000 VA =100v at 10 amps or 200v at 5 amps. If you had a transformer that had a primary voltage of 480 volts and you need a secondary voltage at 240, with a maximum load of 5 amps, the transformer rating should be 1.2kva or 1200VA. On the premise 480V primary, amperage will be 2.5 amps. Secondary 240V, amperage will be 5 amps. 480 x 2.5 = 1.2 KVA, 240 x 5 = 1.2 KVA. Transformer size is 1200 VA or !.2 KVA.

Can a 3.3 KW 230v 6 amp motor be connected to a 2.2 kVA single phase AC Generator?

230 v 6 amps is 1380 VA which equals about 1 kW, so a 3 kW motor implies it's a 3 phase motor. It would turn over on a single phase supply in whatever direction it was first spun in, but the performance would be poor and the motor or generator could get damaged.

An induction ceremony should do what?

An induction ceremony should formally recognize and welcome new members into a group or organization, celebrating their achievements and commitment. It serves to instill a sense of belonging and responsibility, reinforcing the values and mission of the group. Additionally, the ceremony can foster camaraderie among members, creating a supportive environment for collaboration and growth.

What is the difference between an ordinary transformer and a center-tapped transformer?

An ordinary transformer has two input/output terminals but a center tapped transformer has 2 input and 3 output terminals. One is taken from the center for a ground connection. This causes it to get 50% of the actual value.

And ordinary transformer contains 2 windings.

An autotransformer has one.

How should a fuse or circuit breaker be used?

Yes there should be an in-line fuse. If there is not an in-line fuse and there is a voltage spike in the vehicle the fuse will pop and disable the circuit where as if there was no fuse the accessory or mechanism could be destroyed.

As above suggests, the fuse must be put in series. If it is in parallel, the fuse should blow immediately on completing the circuit, because it is effectively a short, which will cause large current flow into the fuse until it blows. Never, never, never put a fuse in parallel with whatever you want to protect - that defeats the point of the fuse.

How do you calculate burden resistor fo current transformer?

The method I have seen employed is to estimate the maximum current that will flow in the secondary side of the CT due to fault currents on the primary side, and calculate the total load (resistance) on the secondary side, including the CT resistance, cable resistance (2 way for ground faults, 1 way for three phase and L-L), resistance of any meters/relays connected to the CT. Once this is known, the voltage rise in the CT can be determined to see if the CT is likely to saturate.

Alternately, you can determine the VA burden by the above, VA = V*I = (I*R)*I, using Ohm's law.

The above answers the question of how to calculate the VA burdon on a current transformer. The VA burden of a CT is determined by the resistivity of the CT, multiplied by the current squared through the secondary. In general, this will be provided by the manufacturer in the form of a CT burden characteristic, developed through testing of the CT in question, not through calculations.
