Why does your overload relay trip when you put a load on it it is a 30hp motor but as soon as it gos on to delta it trips out right away but be fore it gos on to delta it draws 80amps?

Your sentence structure makes this question virtually incomprehensible. But if I am understanding correctly, it is most likely the overload relay is tripping on inrush when the motor is initially turned on, or the motor could be locked up, causing it to pull too much current in an attempt to reach normal operating RPMs. I'd examine the motor, and make sure it is working correctly and clean.

Applications of half wave transmission line?

to transfer large blocks of energy over long distance, which equal to half of electromagnetic wave length. (at 50 Hz approximately is 3000 km.)

What are the effect of climate change in engineering?

Climate change has a great effect in many areas and one of this is the engineering field. It can slow the process of building an infrastructure, damage the flood ways and buildings, and can cause a great destruction to the community.

What is the difference between enamel insulated wire and paper insulated wire?

Paper insulated wire is coated with DuPont's NOMEX Paper wrap which can withstand temperature over 200 degrees centigrate. Enamel insulation usually is coated over aluminum wire and shipped from 3rd world countries to put in our houses because housing contractors don't care if your house burns down. bottom line is money, enamel is cheaper.

What should you do if your AC was working fine until there was a power outage and once power was restored the AC will not come on and you think maybe it is out of cycle?

There are numerous posibilities that may have occured. When you say A/c, Is this a split system, as in a indoor and outdoor unit. or a package unit or maybee a window unit? The simpilist answer is to reset the circuit breakers even if the do not appear to be tripped. Also the brand(s) would be helpful.

Can a capacitor be hooked to a DC circuit?

Yes, capacitors can be, and often are, used in DC circuits. At steady state DC conditions, the capacitor has near infinite impedance. Its value is in its ability to resist changes in voltage, so it can serve as a transient filter. There is almost always a small ceramic capacitor connected between VCC and ground next to IC's in a digital circuit, for that exact purpose.

Connecting 1 phase electric fryer to 3 phase?

Check the junction box control schematic, some equipment can be used on both systems just be re arranging the jumpers in the control box of the device.

What happens to the coil of wire when someone presses the switch?

If the coil is connected to a circuit and the switch is closed then, provided there is a power source, the coil will become energized.

What are use to cover conductors?

Following are the uses :

1.Avoid electrical shock .

2. Avoid conductor damage.

3. Avoid short circuits.

What are switches in a circuit box called?

Generally relays or contactors

If you are talking about an electric panel in your house, they are called breakers.

What is the difference between analog phase shifter and digital phase shifter?

An analog phase shifter provides a phase shift with a varying control voltage.

A digital phase shifter switches among phase states to provide discrete phase shifts. the more bits there are, the smaller the quantization/digitization error. For example,

1 bit phase shifter provides a phase shift of 0 and 180°, or 0 and 90°.

2 bit phase shifter provides a phase shift of 0, 90°, 180° and 270°.

3 bit phase shifter provides a phase shift of 0, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315°, 360°.

Why electrical current arc through the ceramic insulator?

There may be a crack in the ceramic. Also, all insulating materials have a dielectric breakdown voltage, often expressed in volts per mil (0.001 inch). For example barium titanate ceramic breaks down at 75 volts per mil. Thus a 0.5 inch thick insulator of barium titanate ceramic will withstand up to 37,500 volts.

How do you calculate BHP of an engine when Kva is given for a genset?

I (current in Amps)= E (volts) / R (resistance in ohms) W (watts) = I x E simply means 1000

Why current frequency 50hz is not audible?

If your hearing is good, it should be. The human ear is generally said to pick up sounds between 20 - 20 000 Hertz.

Why in electrical wiring you need both neutral and ground if neutral is zero voltage why you cannot used it as a ground?

The neutral is a current-carrying conductor, the grounding wire is not; it is for safety as an ALTERNATE path to ground.

For example, if something happens to disconnect the neutral or if the hot side comes into contact with conductive portions of an appliance, the grounding conductor can save a life by providing a safe fault mechanism.

Why 660V supply is not used in three phase lines?

Answer for UK, Europe and countries running a 50 Hz supply service.

Standard voltages are used so that equipment can be produced cheaply in quantity. It is not economic to use a lot of different voltages.

The low-voltage standards for electricity in Europe is 230 v single phase, 400 v 3-phase.

<<>>

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.

Low voltage in North America 120/240 single phase. Main three phase voltages are 120/208, 277/480 and 347/600. Any leg to ground on the three phase or leg to leg voltages can also be classed as single phase.

Do electrical engineers get raises?

If they are any good, everyone has an opportunity to get a raise over time, including an electrical engineer.

How do you run a motor 208 volts ac in a 230 volts suply?

If your motor is rated for only 208 volts you may not be able to use 230 volts for it. It will run, but may shorten the life of the motor. Motors are rated with a 10% tolerance for voltage. This means that a 208 volt motor has a maximum voltage rating of 228.8 volts. So measure you voltage supply and see if it is below 228.8 with a good RMS voltmeter. If it is, you are good to go. If it is not there are two ways to make it work.

1. Put a high wattage ballast resister in series with the supply voltage to drop the voltage to the motor within range of 187.2 to 228.8 volts. To determine the value of the resistor take the Horse Power of the motor and multiply it by 746. This will give the wattage of the resistor, use one at least 20% larger. Next take the Rated Load Amps (RLA) or Full Load Amps (FLA) of the motor and divide it into the difference between 230 (voltage supply) and the 208 (rated motor voltage), this will get you close to the resistance value of the Ballast resistor you need to use. So a 1/2 HP motor with a 1.2 RLA will require about a 18 ohm, 500 watt ballast resistor. This is not the recommended method, but will work.

2. Install a Buck & Boost transformer rate for the HP of the motor that will Buck the supply voltage for the motor down to 208 volts. This is the recommended way and the only way it should be done. Any good commercial electrical supply house can help you properly size the transformer that you will need.

What causes 12v dc motor to to drop variably to 2v to 7v under load?

Too much load, or too weak of a supply. When a motor is initially started, it will pull a higher than normal amount of current. A sag may occur if the supply is too small, and then it should rebound after a short period of time. If the voltage stays low, either the supply is well undersized, or the motor is pulling more current than it should (either the load is too heavy for the motor or the motor is damaged or dirty).

When you're measuring a power supply's voltage over time. You want to know how much the voltage changes during that period of time. What feature of a digital vom can be used to monitor this?

If the volt meter has the feature of measuring and recording / logging the instantaneous value, one can read the values for a specified period. If the meter does not have that capability, some lower models have the feature to record the minimum, maximum, average values occurred during the said period. An ordinary Voltmeter may not have such recording features.

Is there any copper inside an arc welder?

Like any mechanical tool, machine or similar engineering equipment, an arc welder will have lots of different materials inside it.

An arc welder is an electrical machine and any electrical machine must have wiring inside it. Most electrical wiring will be made of Copper. So yes, there is likely to be some Copper inside an arc welder.
