Could a relay race be used as a good model for a parallel or series circuit?

A relay race could be a good model of a series circuit. In any circuit, current flow is the daisy-chaining of electrons from atom to atom.

Will the two-wattmeter method work for all three-phase loads eg unbalanced loads inductive loads capacitive loads and delta-connected loads?

Blondel's Theorem tells us that, to measure the total power of a three-phase load (balanced or unbalanced), we can use one less wattmeter than there are conductors supplying that load.

So the two-wattmeter method will work for anythree-phase load, provided there are only threeconductors supplying that load, e.g. three-wire delta or three-wire star (wye).

Bear in mind that wattmeter's read true power (expressed in watts) and ignores the reactive power of inductors and capacitors.

What is the current running through resistor four if its 18 ohms?

There is insufficient information in the question to properly answer it. You need to provide more information, such as the voltage across resistor four, or more details about the rest of the ciricuit. Please restate the question.

1 hp compressor amp?

To answer this question the voltage of the compressor is needed.

What is the difference between plc and fpga?

fpga and plc are two completely different things. FPGA( field programmable gate arrays) are building blocks of electronic sysytem where as plc are systems. Comparing these two is like comparing engine with car.

Is it necessary to cool electric motors?

Sometimes it is necessary to let motors cool down if they are a heavy duty motor, like on an air compressor, but you can actually put a fan up against a motor to help keep it cool, if it can't be shut off for a long period of time.

A fan motor doesn't need to be cooled down, because it is actually kept cool, with the fan blade sitting in front of it.

But if it is on farm machinery I would suggest you give your motor at least 30 minutes to an hours rest, just to protect the life of the motor and keep it from overheating.

What is the difference between armored cable and flexible metallic conduit?

Armored electrical cable contains insulated electrical service wires protected by a flexible steel covering. Metallic Conduit is a tube or pipe though which we lay electrical cable.(Most commonly lighting cables).

Why can't the resistance cannot be measured with ammeters and voltmeters?

It can be calculated by a multimeter. [aka. avometer (ampere voltage ohm meter)]. A single voltmeter or ammeter could not measure resistance because this process need calculations. That means the device must be able to measure the voltage and current at the same time.

What is the Breaker size for 130 KW 3 Phase Chip collector fan working on 380 V?

Calculate the ampereage at .8 pf and take a breaker of 150% of ampere nd set the over current protection at 125% of full load current.

What is the Difference between air insulated substation and gas substation?

Air insulated means the substation is in the open air, and the dielectric strength of the air is used to isolate conductors from each other and from ground. Gas insulated means a specific gas is used for insulation; this gas is usually an inert gas such as nitrogen. Gas insulated substations, by definition, are required to be inside a contained structure, or large piping must be placed around all conductors to hold the gas.

What is rms if sine wave is 20 cm peak to peak?

For a sine wave, the RMS is the amplitude divided by square root of 2. The amplitude is 10 cm. in this case; so the exact value is 10 / root(2), or about 7.

If you were to pull 2 three phase circuits in the same conduit would you need more than 1 neutral and why?

If the load requires a single circuit breaker, as most three phase loads do, you need a separate neutral for each. This allows you to check the balance between each phase and the other phases as well as neutral, in order to detect a ground fault.

It depends on the purpose of the three phase circuits - if this were CT cables, then yes, unless you intentionally over sized the ground wire. Otherwise this would cause unusually high voltage rise in the secondary of the CT during ground faults, which could lead to saturation (unless CT ratio is intentionally set high). As noted above, having separate neutrals helps to determine balance, although you can measure 3I0 from the phase currents for a similar relationship without actually looking at the neutral at all (some relays doe this for ground protection instead of directly measuring neutral current, see SEL's 351 for an example relay). No matter what, this would be highly irregular, and I wouldn't recommend scrimping on a neutral. In my experience, the more you move away from accepted practices (not to dampen ingenuity...), the more trouble you create for the future.

If the loads were strictly three phase then there would not be any neutral needed. If from a three phase distribution panel the loads were three single phase loads then you can use one neutral for the three phase wires. This is a code rule that has to be adhered to. A same N, B same N, C same N and only in this combination. Conduit fill 4 wires, two three phase four wire circuits, conduit fill 8 wires.

What is the voltage across a 100-ohm circuit element that draws a current of 1A?

thanks to ohm,,who invented the answer.according ohms law,V voltage=R(element)xI amps.then.....answer is....100 volts.

What is the purpose of single phase preventors used in motors starters?

Phase monitors are used to detect single phasing, or loss of one phase of power from a three phase system. Most of the time they are used on very expensive motors such as high horsepower. They will shut down the starter, therefore shutting down the motor if all three phases are not available. One cause of this would be if there are three separate fuses protecting the motor and only one of them blows. The reason they are needed is because if you only send two phases to a three phase motor, it has a good chance of burning out the motor.

How is eddy current related to the thickness of the stampings of core?

A: Eddy currents are current losses if an iron bolt is used to hold the core lamination together that alone will cause losses. Usually a brass bolt is used to eliminate losses

What is Short circuit maintenance current transformer in automatic voltage regulator?

the SCT is used to provide excitation during short circuit conditions. under Short Circuit the voltage may drop below threshold level causing field current to drop, to avoid over excitation by the AVR, the short circuit provides the excitation energy required to maintain a voltage that allows protective devices to operate and isolate the fault.

the SCT is open under normal operating condition
