What are the differences between the circuits you find in your house and the circuits on a microchip in a computer?

In a physics sense, none. But in an electrical sense, A LOT.

Microchips operate on DC (Direct Current) electricity, typicaly at 12, 5, 3.3, and 1.0-1.5v rails.

Computer microchips also may contain hundreds or more of individual circuits, whereas the average house only has a limited number.

Viva questions on Carey foster bridge?

we can measure the resistance of the given wire using the carey foster bridge /

?

Does a microwave have an electric motor?

no because then if it did you wouldn't have to plug it in.

What is electric braking of DC motors?

In a dc motor, when the supply is suddenly turned off, there is a suddenly fall of speed in motor. this is reduced by means of electric effect. Hence it is called electric braking

( By @FarajAlyami

electric motor braking has two types 1- electromechanical 2- electrical

but electrical has some types as : 1- regenerative 2- dynamice 3- plugging ( counter - current )

What is the max load of 500 kva DG?

I=Kva*1000/v*1.732 =500*1000/415*1.732 =500,000/718.78 =695.62 Amps. So max.load of 500kva DG is 695.62 Amps

What do you mean by BMS operator?

One who responsible in monitoring of equipments interlocked to bms system.

IS ASIC field programmable?

AISC stands for application specific integrated circuit. it's function is determined during it's design and manufacture, it is not programmed.

Why does the primary side of a step down transformer burn out and not the secondary of a 480V to 240V transformer?

Sounds like the wrong size fuse protection was used. The transformer should be protected to its kva capacity.

Which type of ac motors are used in air cooler?

generally induction motor of single phase is used in air cooler.

Can humans create a wormhole generator one day?

I ,a 13 year old boy, have created an experiment that can create a wormhole that we can use to time travel. If you want to see the experiment plan the follow this link...

What is knee voltage and breakdown voltage?

Knee voltage (cut in voltage) :-The forward voltage at which the current through the P-N Junction starts increasing rapidly is called as Cut in voltage or knee voltage Breakdown voltage :-It is the minimum reverse voltage at which the P-N Junction can conduct without damage to the current

How do rectifier circuits stabilize the output voltage when the input voltage is subject to fluctuations?

Rectifiers don't "stabilize the output voltage" of rectifier circuits when input voltage fluctuates. The rectifiers just rectify the input, and the output will fluctuate as the input does. Another form of "conditioning" of the rectified output is needed to address the issue of fluctuations. And we use the term regulation to talk about the effect of "stabilizing" an output voltage. Through regulation, the output will be resistant to changes in voltage when changes in the input voltage occur.

Is it better to have a high or low resistance across a circuit breaker?

A circuit breaker is supposed to protect the more valuable component the circuit is connected to. Too low a resistance, a minor glitch (spike) will break the circuit and stop the device from working. Too high a resistance, no glitches, no matter how large (a child sticking a paper clip into the wall sockets, for example), will break the circuit and the device (child) may get damaged. Each circuit will have a purpose (power load), and the circuit breaker should be chosen for that purpose with some tolerance. A free standing closed circuit breaker should have no resistance across its internal contacts. The main purpose of a circuit breaker is to protect the conductors that supply the load. If the current going to the load becomes greater that the amperage rating of the wire the circuit will open thereby saving the conductors from damage. Once the load current is below the wire rating ampacity, the breaker can be reset for normal operation.

What is the difference between SCADA and HMI?

scada is the software but hmi is software hardwear both ,it is the sub set of scada.scada having the capability to store lots of data but hmi having limited option.

What do ground fault relays do?

Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off

If you have two separate transformers sharing the same primary can both systems be run by the same switch?

Yes. As long as you are not in violation of the 10ft.,25ft or 100ft tap rule. Each XFMR should be fused @ 125% FLA. as such secondary does not have to have a main breaker. RK Class 5 fuses should be used.

What do you mean by phase error in induction type energy meter?

IT means when torque is not zero even at zero power factor??

are you in IPU??

Who built the first DC Generator generator?

if i remember correctlly it was Benjiman Franklin, or he was the one who discovered AC..

it's some one at that sentury..that is all i know... lol..

Electrolytic capacitors hazardous?

yes if you happen to look at them during blow up. the worst offenders are tantalum whereby they unwind in a long stream of metal
