How much power is flowing into your house if the voltage is 120 V and the current is 50 A?
Power is volts times amperes, so 120 V and 50 A would be 6000 watts.
However, it also depends on phase angle and power factor, something that is related to reactive loads such as motors and power supplies. As a result, the power may actually be less, so it is more correct to say 6000 volt-amps. The case of 6000 watts being the same as 6000 volt-amps is only true for a purely resistive load such as a toaster.
Why did you choose electrical as your shop?
You can say you are organized and analytical and enjoy problem solving. You can also say there is room for growth.
Current overload from whatever circuit draws current from the transformer? Proper fusing of its supply might protect a transformer from this cause. Or it could have developed a shorted turn fault because the insulation on a winding got old and perished? Or maybe the transformer got damaged if the appliance it is mounted in was dropped?
Can an ac amplifier amplify the DC signals?
An amplifier generally amplifies an AC waveform (such as sound), and is powered by a DC source. The majority of the power at the output is then coming from a DC source (the power supply in a power amplifier will convert the 50/60Hz AC power in to DC for the amplifier circuitry). So you can make the argument the above (question) is a true statement.
But an amplifier wouldn't be used to convert from DC to AC power (in general).
The resistors should be connected in parallel .
Can you tell more about electronic wattmeter?
The only type I am familiar with is the Bird 4391M. This a a digital display wattmeter whereas the Bird 43 is an analog (mechanical meter) device. The digital wattmeter has many functions available such as FWD PWR, RFL PWR, MOD, that are selected by front panel push buttons. It is a very versatile unit for measuring RF signal power. The one disadvantage to the digital wattmeter is that it needs to be powered to operate, either on AC line or the rechargeable battery pack. The Bird 43 wattmeter is a very simple unit to operate and requires no external power. You simply plug in the correct element, making sure the arrow on the element points in the same direction as the RF signal flow, apply the RF power and get the meter reading. With both types of wattmeters, the frequency and power range desired to be measured is determined by plug-in elements that go into the front panel of the unit. If using a Bird wattmeter, I would suggest using Bird elements. The ones made by Coaxial Dynamics are good, but the can sometimes cause calibration errors. I have calibrated the Bird wattmeters for many years and they are very durable. You may want to do an internet search on Bird wattmeters for more information on their particular functions. Hope this helps.
The direction of the current flowing through it must be changed after every half rotation. Otherwise, when the north pole of the coil comes near the south pole of the magnet, there will be attraction between them and the coil will stop rotating.
State 3 functions of wheatstone bridge?
Wheatstone bridge is used to calculate the resistance of unknown resistor in the circuit.
How many amps does a one horse power motor draw?
depends what the source voltage is
one horsepower equals to 746watts (assuming 100% efficiency)
746 watts divided by voltage source equals current (amps)
AnswerIn countries, such as the USA, where the horsepower is still used as a means of measuring power, it is always used to measure the output power of a motor.
So, in order to determine the current drawn by the motor, you will first need to find out its input power. The input power is the output power divided by the machine's efficiency. Once you know its input power, then you can find its current by dividing the input power by the supply voltage. In practise, you will need to use a wattmeter to determine its input power.
Describe the production of ultrasonic waves by magnetostriction method?
When a ferromagnetic rod of iron or nickel is placed in a magnetic field parallel to its length the rod is thrown into longitudinal vibration thus producing Ultrasonic waves.

when a ferromagnetic rod is is placed in an alternating magnetic field parallel to its direction the rod experiences a small change in its length.
What is a difference between 3 phase and single phase?
Answer
A single-phase system has two conductors: a line and a neutral.
A three-phase system has either three or four conductors. For a three-phase, three-wire, system the conductors are called line conductors. For a three-phase, four-wire, system there are three line conductor and a neutral conductor. In Europe, the three line conductors are coloured brown, black, and grey, and the neutral conductor is coloured blue.
What factors determine the voltage induced in a wire?
V = I * R
or
I = ( V / R )
I = current (amps)
V = Voltage
R = Resistance
The current in a circuit depends on the applied voltage and the resistance of the circuit.
What is the difference between transformation and transduction?
Conjugation is a mechanisms used by bacteria to move genes between cells by exchanging a circular extrachromosomal DNA with each other. Transduction is when viruses that infect bacteria accidentally take some bacterial genes with them into a new cell that htey infect (kinda like STDs). Transformation is when a bacteria gets DNA from its environment.
Why induction motor does not runs at synchronous speed?
An induction motor cannot run at synchronous speed because it is the "slippage" of the rotor relative to the rotaing magnetic field that generates the current in the windings contained within the rotor. This induced (hence the term induction) current sets up the opposing magnetic fields that cause the rotor to rotate.
VAC means volts AC, and is a measure of the voltage in an AC circuit.
KVA means kilovolt-amperes, and is a measure of the power in a circuit. For a resistive load, KVA is the same as KW, or kilowatts.
The two terms are not related in that you can not compare one to another without also knowing the current flowing in the AC circuit. VAC * IAC = KVA, when all values are in RMS (not peak to neutral or peak to peak quantities).
An ammeter is a low voltage voltmeter in parallel with a small resistance resistor. Current flow through the resistor creates a voltage drop across it which is then measured by the voltmeter.
How are current and voltage related to the power supplied by the source?
in ac circuits
power,P=VICOS@
@ is the angle between voltage and current.
in dc
P=VI
V is the voltage
I is the current.
Power (in Watts) is current (A) x voltage (V)
How does AVR on generator work?
The function of AVR is to automatically regulate the voltage of Generators. As the terminal voltage of a generators drops the AVR boosts the voltage.
at first point you should determine the also the secondary voltage of the transformer, secondly you should explain what is the application of this transformer.
if you want a special transformer, it is you to decide how much power is needed to be transferred via transformer, and designer tells you it is economical or not.
by the way, if i want to refer you to a standard close to your application, following sizes are available for a 20kv/400v transformer:
50kVA,100kVA, 150, 200,315,500,630,800,1200,1600,2000,2500 and 3500kVA
i hope this helps you
Advantages and disadvantages of underground and overhead cables?
Overhead transmission lines are less expensive, in most cases, significantly less expensive, than underground cables. Underground transmission cables require insulation, cooling systems, and -the most expensive feature- excavation!
What is the formula used to determine insulation resistance in a motor?
2 meg ohms, 2,000,000 ohms to ground.
1 meg ohms.
What does practical application mean?
"Practical application" can best be defined by contrasting it to "theoretical application". A practical application is the real or tangible use of a thing or a concept, whereas the outcome of a theoretical application is nontangibe results not subject to objective measurement because the thing or theory has not actually been put to use.
Why are electric wires insulated?
If you don't have insulation on the wire, then the loops in the coil will touch each other and short to each other. Instead of have x number of turns on the coil, you would basically have a solid conductor if the wire was not insulated.
How ac generators and dc generators are alike and how they are different?
They both have rotor and stator windings. They create a magnetic field and move a coil of wire through it, thus producing electricity.
The AC generator rotates a mageting field inside the stator. As the poles have both a north and south end, the field generated in staor coils is an AC waveform, as the poles reverse the current at each half turn. The power for the rotating coils are supplied with DC current via slip rings and the (excitation) current can be varied to control the output.
A DC generator has the magnetic field supplied by the stator coils. The induced current of the rotor windings is taken from the rotating shaft via a commutator, a brush and secored contact area. The induced current therefore is only produced over a small arc of the rotor and thus has the same polarity, (albeit interrupted) DC.
