What are hazards in high voltage power lines?

induced voltage can produce extremely high voltages that can be lethal if proper precautions are not observed such as earth grounding.also all coils of wire are inductors as are transformers .it is also very probable that fuses will blow,and a potential for a fire or even an explosion is a possibility! hooking up unknown electrical components and then powering them up can be risky business,especially if you don't have any electrical knowledge.

How strong does a current have to be to kill you?

Current can kill you for several reasons...

  • The power dissipated can be so high that you get burned.
  • The shock can cause you to jerk, either striking somthing and physically hurting yourself, or causing you to fall off something.
  • The current flow can cause muscles to spasm, potentially stopping your heart or your breathing.
  • The current flow can damage things, such as the SA node in the heart, causing the heart to go into Ventricular Fibrillation, even after the current is removed.
  • etc.

How do we calculate the cable size for electrical installations?

Electrical wire size is directly dependant on the load amperage that is connected to it. The higher the load amperage, the larger the cross sectional area of the wire needs to be. The connected amperage to a conductor is determined by a group of electrical experts and their results are then written into the latest addition of the electrical code book of the country in which you live.

What are three wires that make up an electrical circuit?

In house wiring you have hot (Black), neutral (White) and ground (Bare wire).

Why is it important for wiring in houses to have a low resistance?

because if we hadn't had any bulbs then we couldn't have light we cant see anything

Difference between function generator and signal generator?

A signal generator provides a high-fidelity sine wave signal ranging from low frequencies to many GHz. Attenuation, modulation, and sweeping are typical features of a signal generator.

A function generator is a lower-frequency instrument that typically provides sine, square, pulse, triangle and ramp waveforms. Function generators provide these standard functions from DC to a few MHz, and provide large voltage ranges.

What is the effect of pump installation in series and parallel connection?

if you connect the pumps in series, it will add head at the same flow rate. Inversely, in parallel connection, double the flow rate at same head.

What is the best type of DC motor for use with DC?

Basically anything that works with batteries usually works with DC motors, i.g. your hard drive, your cellphone vibrator, toys, etc.

Also, even for large motors, the DC motor has the advantage of being easily controlled by input voltage. Induction motors, on the other hand, can use controlled input voltage but they will have to deal wth low torque when the voltage is low.

DC motors are used for those little fans in your computer. Also, CD players also use DC motors to spin the discs. DC motors are important where absolute speed control and feedback are necessary.

For your household appliances, including fan motors, those are AC motors, cheaper for the industrial strength and more efficient.

The ohm is the unit of measurement of quantity of positive electrical charges?

Ohm is a unit of measurement for resistance. The term ohm was named after a German physicist named Georg Simon Ohm.

How can you test ZNyn11 Vector group transformer?

This vector group test is done to confirm whether the vector group provided in the name plate is correct or not and also to confirm that the winding has not been damaged during transport, installation and erection.

Taking a particular example, for Dyn11 transformer we have to apply 3~ 400v to the primary, with primary 'U' & secondary 'u' shorted....

then check the voltage across different terminals such as V-v, V-w, W-w, W-v

for Dyn11 configuration (V-v = V-w = W-w)less than W-v....

you can compare the results after drawing the vector diagram for the same......

the purpose of shorting the primary U & secondary u is to nullify the phase shift, to obtain a reference vector...

What is the clearance for 480 Volt?

When dealing with a 3 phase power supply the safe clearance zone between each phase is usually within an arms reach, there are exceptions to this rule like a 3 phase socket or a distribution board.

Theory of superposition theorem?

Superposition theorem is one of those strokes of genius that takes a complex subject and simplifies it in a way that makes perfect sense. A theorem like Millman's certainly works well, but it is not quite obvious why it works so well. Superposition, on the other hand, is obvious.

The strategy used in the Superposition Theorem is to eliminate all but one source of power within a network at a time, using series/parallel analysis to determine voltage drops (and/or currents) within the modified network for each power source separately. Then, once voltage drops and/or currents have been determined for each power source working separately, the values are all "superimposed" on top of each other (added algebraically) to find the actual voltage drops/currents with all sources active.

How do you cut an armoured cable?

The use of armoured cable is determined by the application that needs an electrical source of voltage. It is a metal sheath cable classification. Armoured cable is used in applications that need mechanical protection usually below a certain elevation. Armoured cable is also usually used on surface wiring. If you have access to an electrical code book there is a whole section on armoured cable. In the CEC the section about armoured cable starts at 12-600 to 12-618.

How do you wire a capacitor to a electric motor?

A capacitor resists a change of voltage, proportional to current, and inversely proportional to capacitance.

dv/dt = i/c

Capacitors can do various things. They can filter out high frequency transients, or power supply ripples, they can block DC while passing AC, they can participate with other components such as resistors and inductors to form filters - the list is endless.

Does three phase motors have capacitors?

No, The windings in single phase and 3 phase are different. A single phase motor may use a capacitor "start" circuit to create a phase shift between windings and determine the direction it will spin. A 3 phase motor has the windings configured to create a directional rotating field which determines the rotation. The capacitor in a single phase motor is not used to convert it to 3 phase or vice-versa.

Answer

If you have access to a three-phase supply, then you alsohave access to a single-phase supply by connecting your motor to any two line conductors, or between any one line conductor and the neutral. But you MUST ensure that the motor's rated voltage matches one or other of the single-phase voltages available -that depends on what country you live in, because three-phase voltages vary from country to country. And, obviously, if you don't know what you are doing you must consult a qualified electrician.

Working principle of invertor?

If you have a high input going into the inverter it will have a low output and if you have a low input going into the inverter it will have a high output, the bottom line is it's output is the opposite of the input.

What effect if any does connecting a voltmeter across a resistor in a circuit have on the current through resistor?

A very very tiny amount of the current that would normally flow through the resistor instead flows through the voltmeter, allowing it to make its measurement. For most purposes this very very tiny amount of current can be completely ignored.

What is the reason for using laminated core?

Insulation of laminated core is required to reduce the circulating current points due to touching the two plates. This results in more iron loss and heat produced

How does voltage remains constant in resistors connected in parallel?

It is not necessary for anything about them to be the same.

All that is necessary is that they create the desired equivalent resistor, having the correct resistance and power dissipation rating without overstressing either resistor.

What is the difference between current coil and voltage coil?

These terms apply to the coils inside a wattmeter. 'Pressure coil' is an archaic term for 'voltage coil', which is connected in parallel with the supply, while the 'current coil' is connected in series with the load.

Two resistors are connected in a parallel to a batterywhat is the voltage across these two resistors?

The resistors each have a value of 20 ohms. The way to discover it is to apply Ohm's law. It (Ohm's law) comes in 3 "flavors" that look a bit different but all say exactly the same thing. Here they are: E = I x R [Voltage equals current times resistance.] I = E/R [Current equals voltage divided by resistance.] R = E/I [Resistance equals voltage divided by current.] In these equations, voltage is E, current is I and resistance is R. They are measured in units of volts, amperes (or amps) and ohms, respectively. Your problem gives us an applied voltage of 8 volts and a current flow of 0.2 amps. The formula that probably works best is R = E/I for this one because you have volts and amps. In this case, R = 8/0.2 = 40 ohms. But that's the total resistance in the circuit, and you said that a pair of equal resistors are connected, so the pair of resistors has a total resistance of 40 ohms. The rule for finding total resistance for resistors in series is that we add them up. R1 + R2 = 40 ohms. And since R1 = R2 here, 2 x R1 or 2 = 40 ohms, and R1 or 2 = 20 ohms. Either resistor has a resistance of 20 ohms, and that means they both do. Easy as pie.

What is plate earthing procedure?

pipe earthing is done outside the tower, a hole of required diameter and depth is excavated and a pipe filled with coke and salt is put inside that hole which will be connected to the earth strip eventually connecting to the foot of the tower.

The other method of tower earthing is counterpoise in which galvanised strip of wires is connected to the foot of the tower and is being earthed to a depth at some distance.

Hope this answer work for you..
