What type of insulation is for a pole building?

Pole buildings (metal skinned buildings) offer unique challenges for an insulation system. It sweats. It also gets very cold in winter and very hot in summer. These types of buildings also make alot of noice when it rains or hails. Reflective insulation has become a standard component of a total insulation system. It is designed for both new construction and retrofits. Using reflective insulation for either your pole building or home will increase the comfort level inside, protect against condensation and save on energy costs. It can be used as a stand alone or supplemental insulation. While other types of insulation are made to resist or impede the flow of warm air, reflective insulation reflects back radiant (infra-red) energy from the sun so it does not penetrate the building. It can also reflect back radiant heat inside the house so it does not escape. The concept is simple: each unit of radiant heat energy that is reflected away from your pole building in summer and each unit reflected back inside during winter means less operation of your air conditioning and heating systems, less wear and tear on your equipment, and less money you pay in utility costs. During the winter, 50-75% of heat loss through the ceiling and 65-80% of heat loss through walls is radiant. In the summer, up to 93% of heat gain is radiant. If you are depending on R-value (resistance) alone to insulate against heat gain and loss, you are losing half the battle.

You'll find the most popular reflective insulations such as Prodex Total Insulation at www.Insulation4Less.com. Prodex Total insulation reduces or eliminates condensation, provides 19db sound proofing, reflects out 97% of the radiant energy and reflects back toward the inside - either the cool air of an air conditioner or warmth generated by a heater. There is no better insulation for a pole building.

Why planes uses 300Hz frequency?

Weight is at a premium in aircraft. AC to DC power supplies running at 300 Hz instead of the more common 50 Hz or 60 Hz would require smaller filter capacitors, and thus less weight. The power generator, likewise, would require less mechanical speed step-down, reducing weight. Similarly, transformers and inductors, as well as selsyns, can be much smaller, again, reducing weight.

Why is AC used?

The power source is AC. Hence AC is used. DC application is limited.

What is the best method to check for unwanted resistance in a circuit?

Do not add any unwanted device in the circuit. Have correct sized wire for the application and the load current.

Why dc components operate at low voltage compared to ac component?

Because equipment operating on DC is usually low-power electronic equipment, and it uses a power-supply to convert the house AC supply to DC at the right voltage.

Most appliances needing high power are designed to run on AC because that is the normal supply to houses.

What is the probable cause for no voltage generated in a DC compound generator?

In any DC generator the causes to fail to produce voltage is loss of residual flux in the field or fields , poor brush contact in the commutator(clean the brushes and commutator) , check all the terminals of the generator and voltmeter may not be functioningand lastly check the coupling and the prime mover is rotating.

How can you measure internal resistance of car battery?

You measure it indirectly using a known load resistance and measuring supplied current. Loading of the ammeter should be known as well, and the load resistance should be made relatively small to get accurate results.

What is impulse votage?

Sudden rise in Voltage is called Impulse voltage.

What is stall condition of motor?

Stoll condition of a motor or Stall torque is the torque which is produced by a device when the output rotational speed is zero. It may also mean the torque load that causes the output rotational speed of a device to become zero - i.e. to cause stalling.Stalling is a condition when the motor stops rotating.This condition occurs when the load torque is greater than the motor shaft torque i.e. break down condition.In this condition the motor draws maximum current but the motor does not rotate.The current is called as Stalling current.

Why is it frequently necessary to ventilate alternators by blowing air through them?

The windings heat up due to I2R power losses and the iron cores heat up due to induced eddy current losses.

Can you use the separately excited shunt generator machine as self excited generator?

You have a seperately excited generator and then you have a shunt generator which has the field winding in parallel with the armature terminals.

In DC machines a separately excited generator could be run as a shunt generator provided the field winding is designed to work on the generated voltage.

A separately excited alternator needs a DC supply for the field winding. In car alternators that is taken from the main winding via a rectifier and a voltage regulator.

What is the circuit in which two switches are connected in a series?

Two switches in series would be an analogue representation of a solid-state AND logic gate.

What is the RFID?

Radio-frequency identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders.

Did raven symone quit acting?

No! She quit for a little bit but i heard she is going to be in a new movie!!! hopes for you!

What is rosin core?

Rosin core is a type of solder that incorporates a rosin that is used for a flux. The rosin is in a central core of the solder and when the solder melts the rosin cleans the metal of oxides to make a strong and clean connection.

Vlotage on motor name plate is line or phase voltage?

The voltage tag on a motor says 120 or 220 volt and some motors have jumpers to wire it for either one. That is the supply line voltage. The motor knows how to use that. If the plate says three phase is required then consult your electic supply Company for a three phase supply line.

What is KVAR?

KVAR Kilovolt-Ampere Reactive KVAR Kilovolt-Ampere-Reactance {| ! Acronym ! Definition | Formular for calculation of kvar |}

A screwdriver placed across two wires in a circuit creates a circuit?

Depending on where in the circuit the screw driver is placed it could be used as a switch or it could short the circuit out.

How do you switch the voltage requirement for a cooktop from 208 volts to 110volts?

You don't. The cook top was designed to operate on 208 volts. This is the voltage needed to get the elements up to their rated wattage to do the cooking. Higher wattage appliances do not operate on the lower voltage because of the size of the wire that is needed to feed the appliance.

How do you get 1 phase 230V from 3 phase 230V?

I depends on what you are connecting to it but you only need 1 of the phases providing you can get to a neutral

If impedance of power transformer is increase from 8 to 10 percentage then what will effect?

if the designed value of percentage impedance is change, for general this should affect tow things

* if the percentage impedance is decrease this should increase the fualt level current

*if the percentage impedance is increase this should increase the transformer losses and tempreture rise

so the designed value of percentage impedance is determined according IEC if it is less than or equal 10% the margin should be + or_ 15%, if it is more than 10% the margin should be + or _ 15%

so the percentage impedance of this transformer is not accepted according IEC standers
