Why is the hermetic compressor motor manufactured from special material?

because the hermatic compressor motor must be compatible with the refrigerant and oil circulating in the system.

How do you calculate multiplying factor in 3 phase kwh meter using c.t. ratio is 2505VA 5 class 5.0?

multiplying factor = Line CT Ratio / Meter CT Ratio

Usually it is mentioned on Meter that MF = 1 if CT Ratio is 200/5 or MF = 2 if CT Ratio is 400/5. There can be an additional multiplication factor that would be mentioned on the meter.

If breaker CT ratio 8001 when current of any phase crossed 800 ampere what would happen?

What the difference between the Ring Main Unit and the Extensible Oil Switch?

Ring Main Unit (RMU) is suppose to work in medium voltage. It is flexible and allows a free flow and maintains continuity. These are very compact in size. RMU are both Extensible & Non-extensible types.

What is EMI filter?

An in line device used in filtering ac votlage out of transient or (electrical noise) before allowing the electrical current to enter an electronic board of certain designs.

When i replaced condenser fan on my lennox air conditioner its running backwards why would this be?

The fan will have a pair of short wires that come out of the fan motor connected to another short pair of wires going back to the fan's motor. The 2 pairs will be connected to each other with either a single 2-prong connector or two single-prong connectors. Reverse the connection pairings and the fan will spin the opposite direction. (If you have a 2-prong connector, just unplug the connector; twist one end of the connector 180-degrees; then reconnect.)

Full form of TEFC?

It is the housing standard on a motor

Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled

What is the function of step up transformer?

When the output voltage is higher than the input voltage that is considered a step up transformer. When the output is less than the input you have a step down transformer. Input is also called primary and output secondary.

What is the Procedure for ratio test for Transformers?

short all the high voltage bushings toghether.do same with low voltage bushings.disconnect the neutral from the ground.earth the body of the transformer.earth the ttr set.

connect the common point of high voltage bushing to hv terminal of ttr and connect the common point of lv bushing to lv terminal of ttr set.connect the neutral of transformet with the n terminal of ttr set.

now crank the generator.im out of time will answer this question later

What is crawling and cogging?

When rotor bars are made to run parallel with stator , the

torque rises & falls correspondingly causing more

pulsations. This is termed as cogging in other qords

magnatic locking. This is reduced by making the rotor bars

run at an angle to the stator ie crawling in order to make

the torque uniform.

Crawling on the other hand signifies running of motor at

almost one seventh of the rated speed due to interference

of seventh harmonics.

For same peak value of current which waveform will have least RMS value?

A square wave will have the highest value since it has a peak, positive or negative, all of the time. Other wave shapes such as triangular and sine, have a lower value than this.

Why coaxial cable not used in low frequency?

Coax is normally used in high frequency applications due to its ability to shield the signal. The coax construction prevents radiation, while at the same time prevents noise pick up. It is the shielding that makes coax a better choice at higher frequency, however coax can be used as low as audio frequencies.

Lower frequency systems do not need the shielding due to the long rise times. They are not as sensitive to noise pick up and generally do not radiate.

Open Transition Switching in star delta starter?

The transition from star connection to delta connection requires that the current flow through the motor is interrupted. This is termed "Open Transition Switching" and with an induction motor operating at partial speed (or full load speed), there is a large current and torque transient produced at the point of reconnection. This transient is far worse than any produced by the DOL starter and can cause severe damage to equipment and the supply.

What is the difference between a Shockley diode and a Shottky diode?

A Shockley diode is a primitive diode identical to a thyristor with it's gate left disconnected.

A Schottky diode is similar to a normal avalanche diode except that it's forward voltage is quite low, and it's switching speed is very high.

Advantage of current limiting?

Current limiting is the practice in electrical or electronic circuits of imposing an upper limit on the current. The simplest form of current limiting in mains is fuse.

What is filament transformer?

In vacuum tube devices, one electrode of the tube (the filament) needs low

voltage at relatively high current, while another one (the plate) needs a high

voltage at relatively low current. It's hard to build a single power supply to

provide both of these, so the filament is usually supplied from its own

separate transformer.

Nobody has worried about things like this since a short time after transistors

came along.

Channel has data rate of 4 Kbps and propagation delay of 20mswhat range of frame size do stop and wait give an efficiency of atleast 50?

You need to use two formulas - firstly a= propagation delay/transmission time. We'll denote this by tprop and ttrans.


tprop is given in the question, it is 20 x 10-3
ttrans is Distance/Data Rate

so ttrans = L / 4 x 103


ttrans = 80/L



(becasue the powers of ten cancel each other out so you just multiply 20 x 4.
we use powers of ten because we need the same format as the propogation delay

a = 80/L



2. Use the formula 1/1+2a >= .5 = 1/1+ 160/L>=.5


First 1>= .5(1+160/L)
second 1>= .5 + 80/L
third 80/L >= 1 x .5
fourth .5 >= 80/L
L >= 80/.5
L >= 160

How much power is needed for an antenna to send a signal?

I'm not an electronic whiz by ANY means, but if I'm correct...Transmitters do the sending and antennas do the receiving.

What is 2-wire and 3-wire?

They refer to the number of I/O lines (not power) needed to transfer data between to processors/controllers.

3 wire serial has a bidirectional data line, a clock line, and a master/slave line.


2 wire generally is clock and data.

What is electric potential difference?

Potential Difference (p.d) in an electric circuit is the measurement of energy transfer per unit charge in volts (v) or joules per coulomb (JC^-1). However, in contrast to the Electromotive Force (emf) in a circuit, which is a component that adds charge to the current (usually a cell). p.d uses up the charge to power a component eg a lamp. We would express this as the potential difference across the lamp. We can also say pd (v) = workdone (W)/ charge (Q). because the transfer of energy is the work done and this is per unit of charge.

Example.

What is the pd through a lamp where we have 4 coulombs of charge passing through it and transferring 48 joules of electrical energy into heat and light.

V=W/Q

pd=48/4 =12v

What is Lightning arrestor?

A device, composed of sharp points and/or knife edges, that discharges powerline overvoltages to ground. The term lightning arrestor is a misnomer, as these devices cannot protect against a direct strike to the powerline!

What is the Limit switches working principle?

Limit switch is one type Of " Contact Sensor" , In that there is Normally Open Contact & Normally Close Contact, In limit switch there is Plunger it is Directly Connected to NO & NC Contact if we press the plunger NO contact become NC & NC contact become NO, Working Principle same as Contactor ( DOL starter ) main difference is in contactor There is Coil to attract the Plunger But In Limit Swict Plunger is Operated Mecanically.Limit Switches is used mainly for Safety Purpose & to take Feed back for PLC in Automation industries........

Source(s):In My Plant I have installed limit Switches..

A limit switch is a switch, usually mechanical, that is actuated by a moving part of some machine. Its operation is much like any other switch in that there are contacts that move when a plunger or lever on the outside of the switch is pushed. Internally there is an over center spring mechanism that snaps the switch open or shut in response to a gradual motion of the plunger or lever.

Many limit switches have three terminals. One is the normally closed contact, another the normally open contact, and the third is the common that switches between these two as the mechanism is moved.
