Electric and magnetic fields move in what direction of each other and the direction of the wave?

Electrical and magnetic fields have liquid properties and by this I mean they move in waves and are bound by the properties therein and the Laws of Nature that control liquid states. There are many types of liquid states continuing out into space. These are about densities and those densitiies fall away infinitely. In conclusion Electrical and Magnetic waves would most likely repel each other if their poles aren't opposing. Positive to positive or negative to negative. Phil staples

How many ohms is the sending unit putting out?

Usually is the input impedance of the load 10 times higher than the input impedance of the sender. So the sender's ohms is one tenth of the load.

What is the effect of transfer lag on difference proportional band?

To the best of my knowledge, it can be seen as the following: A first order system G(s)=K/(1+s(TL)) where TL is the transfer lag. Take the root of the denominator to be s = 1/TL, we can find out TL. Once you know TL you can discover the magnitude of its effect.

It generally decreases response time! As TL increases the value of the root decreases. The closer this value to the imaginary axis in root locus theory, the more dominance it plays in the system!

I may have talked around your answer but I hope I've helped

Does capacitor banks produce harmonics?

No, capacitor banks reduce harmonics. They act like a low pass filter. They also raise voltage by compensating for inductance and bringing the power factor back closer to 1.

Capacitor banks in the power system can cause transients when randomly closed - many utilities use zero voltage closing equipment, or inductors to counteract this short time harmonic problem.

Why loads do not fall in cranes on loss of power?

Because the gearing between the load and the electrical motor gives a large mechanical advantage to the motor end of the linkage. Electrical motors have relatively lightweight rotors which rotate very fast. Gears take this low power but speedy input and leverage it to become slower and more powerful, similar to how any lever proportions force input versus output based on the ratio of lengths between the lever arms.

This same imbalance between forces and speed explains why cars need transmissions. The motor rotates very fast and the wheels rotate much more slowly. Cars with manual transmissions can be parked on hills without any parking brake if they are left in gear, the lower the better, which will not roll away due to the same principle.

What are the applications of matrices in electrical engineering?

Matrices can be used for circuit analysis because a circuit component can have an impedance matrix, an admittance matrix or a scattering matrix, of order equal to the number of ports the circuit has. This can also be used for antenna arrays when you have an antenna circuit connected to a feeder (transmission-line) circuit.

Matrices are also used in the numerical solution of linear equations: when you have a system of N equations it needs matrices of order N.

In field theory integral equations arise which can be solved numerically by using a piecewise-linear approximation which turns an integral equation into a set of linear equations. This is used for analysing raio antennas using the method of moments.

All the above applications are coded into software which can be bought and used but designing the sotware falls inside the remit of electrical engineering.

Why is less resistance for a conductor wire good?

Resistance in a wire restricts the movement of the electrons through the wire. This restriction transfers some of the energy contained in the electrons into the material of the wire and as this energy accumulates in the material of the wire the wire starts to heat. Therefore, there the energy that is transferred into the wire material is considered wasted because it is not available as electrical energy, which means the consumer who is using that wire is charge for the electrical energy that is waste. It the resistance is less in that conductor the consumer will save money.

What material is used in a liquid fuse?

A liquid fuse typically uses a conductive liquid, such as mercury or a saline solution, which can flow and create a conductive path when needed. The liquid is housed in a sealed container, and when the current exceeds a certain threshold, the liquid can either vaporize or change its state, breaking the circuit to prevent damage. Some modern liquid fuses use non-toxic, non-metallic fluids for safety and environmental concerns.

How do you define Repetitive Peak off-state Voltage VDRM?

If the MT2 voltage exceeds VDRM such as might occur during severe and abnormal mains transient conditions, MT2-MT1 leakage will reach a point where the triac will spontaneously break over into conduction.

What is close contact relay?

A relay is an electrical switch. It consists of a electromagnetic coil and a set of mechanical contacts. Depending on the relay their could be multiple sets of mechanical contacts.

The close contact lets current flow through the mechanical contacts when the relay is not turned on. When the relay is turned on current flow is stopped. This is called a normally closed contact or NC

The open contact works the opposite of the closed and is referred to as a normally open contact or NO

How does current flow around a circuit?

current in a circuit will flow in a unidirectional manner

and when it passes through a resistor in the circuit it opposes its direction

Why would a generator produce high kvar output?

A generator would be forced to produce a high output kVAr if it has a lot of non-linear loads connected to it i.e. fluorescent lighting, switchmode power supplied equipment (PCs, old servers etc).

Does frequency effect total inductance?

Inductance is inductance, and is not a function of frequency. Frequency affects reactance, and ultimately impedance, not inductance.

What is main winding?

The main winding is the primary coil in an electric motor or transformer that generates magnetic fields and facilitates the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy (in motors) or vice versa (in transformers). It is typically designed to handle the main electrical load, providing the necessary inductance and resistance for the device's operation. In motors, the main winding works in conjunction with other windings, such as the auxiliary winding, to ensure efficient performance and torque generation.

What is the relationship with leakage current and rated voltage of high voltage surge arrester?

Not much actually; Electrons escaping through insulating material is defined as leakage current. Insulation has both resistsance and capacitance abilities, which means current can flow through both paths. Given the nature of current it will find the quickest path. A surge arrestor dissipates (discharges) voltage spikes through a series of resistors and diodes. A surge arrestor is commanly used in applications above 100kv. Dnot confuse a surge arrestor with a surge protector, whch is basically a circuit breaker. FIRST OF ALL THERE IS NO PERFECT INSULATOR AND ELECTRONS DO NOT ESCAPE BUT THE EMF IF HI ENOUGH WILL FIND A PATH TO BLEACH ELECTRONS BECAUSE OF DIRT MOISTER WHATEVER.

What will a UPS be used for in a building?

To provide power to essential equipment

ANSWER: it does not provide any power at all Not until there is a input power interruption then the UPS will take over the function of providing power to the building or even facility.

Uninterpretable Power System It works continuously as a bypass without power delivery to the facility.

What is polar moment of inertia of motor load system?

It is impossible to tell you exactly what the polar moment of inertia is for a motor load system just from your question. We would need to know the specifications of the motor load system to make that calculation.

What is the advantage of DOL starter?

for smooth operation and also to reduse starting current

Which conductor do you use in overhead lines installation?

There are lots of choices for type of conductor - ACSR is a very common one. In my experience aluminum is the most often used metal. ACSR uses aluminum to carry the current, and also has a steel core that provides added strength.
