What is meant by Generator P.f?

the cosine of the angle between voltage and current of generator is called power factor (pf) of generator.

What is the bandwidth and Q factor for a good tuned amplifier?

It depends on the signal you are trying to receive.

For instance, the AM frequency band lies around 500KHz to 1700kHz. Lets say you have a tuned amplifier such that the resonant frequency was set roughly in the middle of that band at 1000kHz (1MHz). AM radio stations typically space out their broadcasts 9-10kHz.

So if Q=f_resonant/f_bandwidth

the Q of a tuned amplifier with a bandwidth of 10kHz (which would be decent, maybe a little spill over), would be:

Q=1Mhz/10kHz

Q=100

The higher the Q, the greater the selectivity. Too high be a bad thing too.

What are the applications of milliman's theorem?

One application is to determine the neutral current in an unbalanced wye (star) connected load.

What is voltage between earth and line?

In a typical residential situation there is 220 to 240 volts between the two hot wires that are typically red and black and 110 to 120 volts between neutral and either black or red. The voltage between neutral and earth should be zero.

How do apply norton theorem?

Norton’s Theorem states that any linear electrical network with voltage and current sources and resistances can be simplified to a single current source in parallel with a single resistor. To apply Norton’s Theorem, first, identify the portion of the circuit you want to analyze and remove the load resistor. Then, calculate the Norton equivalent current (I_N) by finding the short-circuit current across the terminals and the Norton equivalent resistance (R_N) by turning off all independent sources and calculating the equivalent resistance seen from the terminals. Finally, replace the original circuit with the Norton equivalent circuit for analysis.

How are pylons built?

They are usually built on the ground and then they use a pulley to lift into position

What is the maximum voltage for vacuum Circuit Breaker?

The maximum rating or a VCB is 32 KV.The maximum curent rating is up to 3000 A.

Is dry type transformer air conditioned?

To my knowledge no transformer is air conditioned. Some transformers have fans mounted on them, however, for uprating purposes. I don't believe this is an effective cooling mechanism for dry type transformers either (fans are usually used on oil filled transformers).

What does the phase 'No ifs or buts' mean?

A very popular idiom, or phrase, that stands for "no excuses". It was mostly used by parents for telling their children to complete a task without any form of delay.

How do Tower fans work?

I, too, was quite intrigued by my tower fan at home. Inside it, there's a cylinder/drum with vanes on it. So it looks like it should work like the reverse of a centrifugal pump or impeller mechanism:

What amazes me is this:

An impeller will propel air out from the inside of the drum to the outer circumference of the drum. However, my tower fan does not do this. It actually creates suction on it's slatted sides, and pushes out air from the output slats on the other side. I can't understand how one side sucks and the other blows when it is just a rotating drum with vanes. The vanes should move air either all outward of the drum or all inward. How can the same vanes cause suction on one side and blowing on the other?

My theory is the shape of the casing plays a big role. On the suction sides, the drum is exposed to the static outside air. Then the casing narrows around the drum surface, sealing that half of the rotating drum. Finally the narrowed casing opens to the output vent, where the air blows out of. The casing once more hugs the drum and opens back out into the suction side.

What I think is happening is this:

The air speed is slow on the suction side, so when the impeller spins, the faster moving air in the impeller vanes is at a lower pressure than the static air (Bernoulli's Principle). Thus you get suction as static air is sucked into the fast moving impeller.

Then the casing narrows and hugs the impeller - no more air can be sucked in, but the air is being flung outward by 'centrifugal force' i.e. its inertia. The casing prevents this air from being flung out until it hits the output vanes - then it shoots out and this is the fan blowing. The casing immediately hugs the drum again to seal off this output vane, before opening up to the suction half of the drum.

From what I've read the air is pulled into the core of the cylinder and forced out the top and or bottom into the housing the out the vents.

I don't understand why the air isn't sucked right back into the core rather than out the vents

i.e. instead of converting kinetic energy to static pressure (like an impeller pump), it converts the static pressure of stationary air to kinetic energy.

I'm sure I don't have a complete understanding of what's going on, and I'd like to ask a fluids professor, but this'll start you off anyway. I'll check back here in case anyone came up with brighter ideas, and post a link if you end up finding out the answer elsewhere.

How do you calculate the cable size for a 115kw 3 phase induction motor 16 meter run for cable 415v?

take the full load current

1.732*415*I*0.85*efficiency=115*1000 => I?

Depending on the value of the full load current and designed and ambient temperatures of the selected category of the cables, and voltage drop per unit length, you can determine the cable size

What is a contactor coil?

a contactor is generally looks like a small box connected to an electric circuit. it is what controls electricity flow to a motor. in the middle is normally a way to push in the contactor to manually check to see if either the motor works or if you have electricity.

Which of Voltage drop is the main consideration while designing?

The size of the wire is the main factor when dealing with voltage drop. The idea is to maintain the voltage and a specific amperage at the load end of the circuit.

What has a 555 timer IC in it so I can desolder it and use it?

The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator,

the free running frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200mA or drive TTL circuits.

There is little point in desoldering one since they are very cheap to buy since the chip is nearly thirty years old.

NE/SA/SE555/SE555C Timer circuits are all over the net.

Is 800w load?

An 800W load refers to an electrical device or system that consumes 800 watts of power during operation. This measurement indicates the rate at which energy is used, and it can be important for determining the appropriate power supply or circuit capacity. For example, if multiple devices are connected to the same circuit, their combined wattage should not exceed the circuit's rating to avoid overload.

What are the materials that don't follow ohm's law called?

Everything follows ohms law. that's why it's called a law. There is no get out of jail free card when it comes to ohm's law.

The full law even takes into effect radiative power, or power transferred through antennas.

Distinguish between constant parameter and time varying parameter system?

A constant parameter is one that does not vary over time, or varies so slowly, or within a very small, allowable range, that it can be used as a constant. One such parameter is the average temperature of the universe, which is 3 Kelvin. We theorize that over time it will gradually decrease with the expansion of the universe, but in practical terms, in a period of billions of years, it is held as a constant.

Diurnal light and dark cycles (day time and night time) is an example of a time varying parameter. The intensity of solar radiation, measured in a specific location, varies continuously during each day, and the length of each day varies continously through the year.

Why is there a need for weed management in HV substations?

Yes-rats, mice and other animals use weeds for their nest and also like to chew on wiring and insulation found at electrical sites. Their damage cost more than clearing weeds.
