What is the efficiency of a 12 volt electric motor?
Efficiency of any electrical machine is maximum when the load on that machine is such that the variable loss ( copper loss) is equal to constant loss (eddy current loss, hysteresis etc).the same applies to dc machines too.
How does surge impedance effect on transmittion line?
The SIL=(KV LL / Zo), where the V(LL) is the receiving end voltage in kV and Zo is the surge impedance in ohms. when the line is loaded over its SIL, it behaves like a shunt reactor - absorbing Mvar from the system, and when is loaded less its SIL it behaves like a shunt capacitor, supply Mvar back to the system.
So to increase the Surge Impedance Loading (SIL), we need to decrease the the surge impedance of the line, and that can be done by introducing series capacitors (capacitors in series with the transmission line) or shunt capacitors (capacitors in parallel with transmission lines), which means providing Mvar to the system and reducing the Mw.
hopefully that helps
What conditions must be done before a generator can be connected to a 3-phase system?
Assuming the generator is in good condition and designed to be connected to a power grid. A generator can be connected by ensuring the generator is at very nearly the same speed as the grid (typically very slightly faster) and is generating a similar voltage. When the phases of the generator and grid align, the circuit breakers can be closed and the generator will become locked to the grid. If the generator is connected to the grid without being in phase, the difference in phase will allow significant current to flow and in some situations can actually be worse than a direct short circuit. As a result of this power companies use sophisticated equipment to ensure that generators can be safely connected to the grid without damage.
Household, camping and most industrial generators are not designed to be synchronised with the grid and should not be connected to a grid system.
What is current ratio on a transformer?
It's approximately the inverse of the voltage- or turns-ratio:
Differentiate parallel circuit and siries circuit?
If two circuit elements (e.g., two resistors) are in series (a series circuit), the current has to pass first through one, then through the other. If they are in parallel, the current has a choice, through which of the elements it passes.
What is the branch-circuit calculated load for 1 18 kw range is?
An 18 kW range is a very big range. Presuming that the source voltage is 240 volts it will draw 18000/240 = 75 amps. You will need 3 - #4 wires to feed it. A #4 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 85 amps.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized

How are electrons generated in a gas filled tube?
As this relates to EE, the electrons are already in there.
Can we respectively control the throws of a 2 form c relay?
A 2 form C relay has a common coil so, no, we can not respectively control the throws of a 2 form C relay. The two throws operate together.
A: BY adding resistance to one or all branches will reduce the voltage drop across any branch. But also the current will be reduced accordingly
Is it safe to eat or drink while soldering?
No
ANSWER: lead is poisonous to humans on a grand scale. like mercury It collects and add up.
certainly putting solder the mouth is bad. Lead replaces calcium
Why do you need to use op-amp in 0.5 gain?
The question isn't very clear. You don't need an op amp to decrease a signal amplitude by 50% / 3dB / .5. You could use a carefully set up voltage divider. But if you are in need of a buffering circuit for either the input or the output, an op amp is a cheap, well designed, and easy to use solution.
What is the advantages of automated car parking system using microcontroller?
you dont need round the clock attendants or valets
you tend to need more expensive labor to fix the machines tho
these can be part timers since we have cell phones now
possibly cheaper than live parking attendants but response time is a LOT slower
Is ohms law applicable to filament?
Absolutely not! A tungsten filament is an example of a non-linear or non-ohmic material, and it does not obey Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law is a law of constant proportionality; in other words, for it to apply, the ratio of voltage to current must be constant over a wide range of voltages. Increasing the voltage of a tungsten filament to its rated voltage causes its resistance to increase around 15 - 18 times, compared with its 'cold' resistance. Therefore, the ratio of voltage to current changes significantly as the applied voltage changes -so it does not obey Ohm's Law.
However, the ratio of voltage to current will always tell you what the resistance happens to be for any particular ratio. Since, for tungsten, because the ratio increases as the voltage increase, the resistance changes too.
To summarise, for Ohm's Law to apply, there MUST be a linear relationship between voltage and current; with tungsten, the relationship is a curved line and, so, it is non-linear and does not obey Ohm's Law.
Why do you regulate voltage but not current?
you can regulate either, it depends on the requirements of your circuit.
What is the skin effect in transmission lines?
It is the tendency of alternating current to flow more in the outer part of the conductor than in the centre. This reduces the effective cross-section area of the conductor. For this reason conductors with a diameter of more than about 30 mm are uncommon.
Line current = 10MW / 500kV = 20A
Assuming the 1000 ohms is the resistance of the entire transmission line, end to end.
Power loss = line current ^ 2 * line resistance = 20A ^ 2 * 1000 ohms = 400 KW
Should solar panel KW capacity equal to the total KW loads?
The total kW load is only a guide to the solar panel capacity. Any energy generated by the solar panel will reduce the energy you draw from the grid, which leads directly to less CO2 output at the power plants. But the power plant is still needed for when there is a cloudy day. When it's cloudy the solar panel output is drastically reduced, although they still produce power, as the salesmen are keen to emphasize, but what they don't tell you is that the power output is reduced by about 95%.
Also, in many countries, if your panels generate excess electricity you sell it back to the grid, so the capacity of the panels is not critical.
How is Fault level calculation computed?
The calculation of greatest fault current of system is required for calculation of the capacity of the switchgear or bus bar or cable. The source of the supply will be the consideration.The MVA/kVA capacity of the transformer or generator which is the source. The simple equation to find the short circuit current is 1.1 x V L I = --------------- Amps √ 3 x Z I - short circuit current Line voltage is multiplied by 1.1 to take care of 10% rise in voltage Z Impedance in ohms % Z x10 x kV 2 Z = --------------------- kVA Detailed calculation method is available in www. ecmweb.com You must read it if you are really interested to learn the subject.

What are the evidences of a corona discharge?
When Corona Discharge occurs it forms ozone and nitrogen oxides. These combined with moisture to prduce nitric acid, which is destructive to most dielectrics and certain metallic compositions, resulting in corrosion. In addition, the high energy in some discharges results in mechanical, electrical, and thermal damage. SC
