Can a double pole single throw light switch be used as a disconnect for a motor?
Motors have a large start-up current and represents an inductive load. Accordingly, any device used to switch the motor must be capable of handing and breaking currents without any resulting arcing damaging the switch contacts. Therefore, even fractional-horsepower (<1000 W) motors, must be controlled using 'contractors' -i.e. heavy-duty, electromagnetically-operated, switches. Furthermore, it's dangerous to control a motor from devices without 'no volt' protection -i.e. a switch that will not allow the motor to restart by itself following the restoration of a power failure.

Why is ideal resistance of a voltmeter infinity?
generally voltmeters are connected in parallel in the circuit.If the voltmeter resistance is lower as it increases the current rating,because by connecting parallel we are decreasing the resistance,so if the voltmeter resistance is not too much higher it leads to burning of the meter,For that we can conclude that the in ideal the voltmeter has infinite resistance.

When induction motors is used for power factor correction what is called?
I'm not sure I've ever seen an induction motor used to correct power factor; it is usually the induction motors that are causing the poor power factor. "Power factor correction" is usually accomplished by adding capacitors to the system to counteract the inductance of large motors.
What is the voltage Human body withstands under normal conditions?
Depends on the person. Normal voltage would be something like 30 v.
What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?
RCD cut the current to the circuit while preventing the electric shock
Look on the motor's chart for "Locked rotor current" its going to be high because the motor is trying to overcome infinite inertia. Any motor will draw 8 - 10 times its rated current upon start up because you are overcoming inertia. It takes more energy to start any system than it does to keeping it running.
Who sets standards for motor overload protection?
In Canada it is the CSA, Canadian Standards Association that checks for safety of electrical devices. After testing and when approved, the device will have a CSA designation on the equipment. By law, a Canadian electrician is not allowed to make a connection to any electrical device that doesn't have a CSA certification label attached.
Applications of power line carrier communication?
Power line carrier communications is used to provide high speed tripping for faults covering the entire power line.
On typical VHV and EHV systems, distance relays are used to protect the line in the event faults occur. Distance relays look at the impedance of the line (Voltage / current) to determine where a fault is. As one gets further away from the local end, the impedance will continue to grow. If one was to set distance relaying to look exactly to the very end of a line, it may or may not see the far end for all faults, due to errors in measurement of line impedance, error in the relay measuring, variances in system voltage, etc. Moreover, these errors may result in the relay seeing faults on the next line out (referred to as "overtripping").
Because of this, distance relays are typically set up in several zones - zone 1, which will be 80 - 90% of the line impedance, which is set to unconditionally trip; zone 2, which is set to 115% or more of the line impedance so it is garunteed to see the remote end.
Because zone 2 sees beyond the line, it must be conditionally controlled. This conditional controlling requires information from the remote end - specifically if the fault is "in front of" (on the line) or "behind" (on a different line) the remote relay.
And this is where power line carrier equipment comes in. On many lines in remote locations, there isn't a whole lot of fiber or microwave type communication equipment available. So signals are directly injected onto the powerline to pass the above information back and forth.
On some power line carrier equipment, there is also the ability to inject voice, so the same equipment can be used for communication between technicians at different substations.
Common parts of ac and dc generators?

What is mean by loading effect of transducer?
any transducer is measuring something
it takes a bit of something to make the transducer work
which loads the device under test
as you put more power to an audio transducer it most move further and vibrate slower and as such loads the device and lowers the frequency
if you are measuring temperature the measured device must also heat the thermometer which is a load on the heat source
Can you convert a DC motor to run on AC?
The easiest way would be to convert the AC power to DC by using a rectifier diode and a filter capacitor. In that way you can now run your DC motor on DC.

You wouldn't want to. The Watts are the reason why.
If you needed to power 2000 watts worth of appliances and you have a 120v system, you'd need a little under 17 amps to do it. A relatively thin 12-gauge wire will handle that much power. To power the same load with 12v current, you need 170 amps--and wire 3/8" in diameter.
The built-in transformer you speak of requires 110 volts. They're known as step-down transformers and are a ratio of the incoming voltage. For example: a 10:1 transformer will drop 100 volts to 10 volts. If you gave it 12V you'd end up with 1.2V.
In short: No to your question.
There are many appliances -- such as Google's servers -- that are designed to run on a 12 VDC supply. Appliances designed for recreational vehicles (RVs) and boats often run on 12 VDC.
In theory, a technician with some knowledge of electronics could convert an appliance that is designed to require 110 VAC and convert it to require only 12 VDC. If you are lucky, the appliance already has a transformer and rectifier that converts input power to 12 VDC, and a technician can simply attach a 12 VDC power plug, cable, and fuse directly in to that point. In practice, you would need some system to prevent accidentally plugging the 12 VDC power plug into a 110 VAC outlet, which would probably destroy the appliance, and also prevent accidentally plugging in both the 12 VDC power plug and the 110 VAC power plug, which risks destroying the 12 V power supply.
A few devices use the AC cycle to derive a time base (50 Hz or 60 Hz), and so cannot work on 12 VDC power alone, unless you use an "inverter" that generates that frequency.
Some devices -- such as air conditioners -- require a lot of energy. Given a particular energy requirement, reducing the voltage by 1/10 means increasing the current by a factor of 10, which requires power lines with 10 times as much copper. Increasing the voltage allows us to reduce the amount of copper used -- which is one reason some automobiles have a "42 V automotive system".
How do you find a Automotive short circuit?
When most people say "short," they are talking about a parasitic load, a circuit that is always on and drains the battery. Take the negative cable of the battery post, take your test light (ice pick type) and connect betw battery post and negative connector. Make sure everything in the car is off (dome light, amplifier, for example). If you have a current drain at this point the light will be on. Pull fuses one at a time and watch to see which one turns out the light. That will be the circuit your parasitic load is on. Get a wiring diagram and check the wires/switches/components on that circuit. For a real short, which blows fuses as fast as you can change them, you need a special circuit breaker that fits in the fuse panel in place of the fuse. This will power the circuit enough to work with it, but prevent meltdown. Now that you have current flow, you can run a small compass over where the wires for that circuit are running and watch for the needle to switch directions. Ask at the parts store, I don't recall what they call this ciruit breaker.
Which is faster Latch flip flop?
The terms "flip-flop" and "latch" are applied to a variety of circuits, and there is some overlap in the meaning. As far as I know, there is no official meaning; like all English words, the meaning is somewhat flexible. Generally, latches have less clock hardware built into the circuit, making them more flexible. If you don't need the clocking, you can probably perform your function faster with a latch than with a flip-flop. If you do need the clocking, you may end up performing your function slower if you add the necessary hardware to a latch, rather than just using a flip-flop that already has it built in.

How does a radiator temperature switch work?
In layman's terms...the battery is supplying the radiator fan with power, continuously BUT the "thermo switch" keeps the circuit broken until the fan is needed. Basically the two or 3 wires running "into" the switch "do not" connect on the inside UNTIL the right temperature is achieved.
Then on the inside the of the switch, once heated, causes enough power to let a device inside, to move and allow the circuit to be completed.
This allows the "already on" power to make the fan come on.
If you want to test the switch....just take off the wires to it and touch them....if the fan comes on, then chances are it is the switch that is faulty. If the fan does not come on then....there is a problem in the wiring circuit.
Many things can lend to a default in wiring such as a broken fuse, bad relay or broken wiring connection.
