How do you make a simple Voltage regulator?
This depends heavily on the intended usage (voltage, power, etc).
If your power source already has the correct voltage but you want to regulate power spikes (e.g. electrical noise in a car), you can use a passive RF filter: basically, an LC low-pass filter element.
If your power source has a higher voltage than the device you intend to drive, there are two options: a passive regulator, built around a power resistor and a Zener diode, for very low to low power systems, and very low cost; or an active regulator built around a 78XX chip (or equivalent), for medium power systems, and somewhat higher cost. The 7805 chip is very widely used to provide 5V, and will always work. The Zener regulator is really the simplest and cheapest way to do it, but it requires you to modelize your power requirements to choose the correct diode and resistor.
If your power source has a lower voltage than the device you intend to drive, there are various chips available, but they generally require more external components like a coil and a capacitor, and require you to do more computations to get right. They also generally cost more.
How frequency affect the performance of a transformer?
Transformers are designed for a specific application. frequency IS A MAJOR FACTOR THAT GOES INTO THE DESIGN.
Where The core losses in a dc machine occur in?
in a dc machine core losses occur both in stator and rortor but stator core losses are negligible as compared to rotor core losses because in stator constant dc flux is given and the statot conductor is stationary so there are no eddy losses and as the flux is stationary there are no hysteresis loassses also but in rotor armature winding is placed so here alternating field is induced which cuts the rortating conductors of rotor thereby inducing eddy as well as hysteresis losses fo any more info. contact zombie
What is Ohms on a coaxial cable?
Resistance of wire is measured in Ohms (Ω) and depends on these factors.
The length of wire in feet.
The cross sectional diameter of the wire (circular mils).
The type of metal the wire is composed of (K). Most wire is composed of Copper or Aluminum
Here is the Specific Resistances (K) of these metals.
Copper - 10.8 Aluminum - 17.0
We can then use the formula...
R=K*L/Circular mils
"L" being the length of wire in feet
The above answer is correct if you are looking for voltage drop over a conductor length. When you bring coax cable into the equation, you are not looking for the wire ampacity for service distribution. If for some reason you are not familiar with coax cable, it is used for RF transmission. The only concern is the impedance match of the cable to whatever it is connected to, like a transmitter or antenna. A mismatch at the ends is detrimental because it causes a reflection of a portion of the energy. The greater the mismatch, the greater the reflected power. On my ham antennas I use RG8U. It is a coaxial cable with 52 ohm impedance For a good chart, see related links.
Answer: without a load is infinite. The coax when connected will definitely change impedance as frequency and lenght of cable are varied. At some frequency and lenght it can be zero impedance. All cables are designed for some impedance at a specific frequency and lenggt.
What is nominal zener voltage?
A zener diode has a voltage when it reachesbreak over it may be 5v 12vor other voltage as manufactured. The manufacture will produce a 5v zener or is it? This voltage can change from device to device but the mean or nominal voltage will be as close as 5v as possible. So when buying a 5v zener do not expect 5v absolute but a nominal 5 v
ZENERS are designed for a specific voltage [ THEREFORE NOMINAL] as mentioned above . depends on the voltage required it can be bought within a specific voltage -/+ a % of the breakdown
None what so ever. The cost of changing all of your equipment and new service would be high. The electrical bill is based on wattage used be it single phase or three phase.
Why a motor starts in star and runs in delta?
This configuration is used to reduce the starting current. Utility companies do not like large motor loads starting across the line. It dips the voltage level of the line. By reducing the starting current to a lower level also reduces the voltage dip in the supply lines.

How do you make a led simple circut?
It is simple LEDS do need a definite voltage drop to work must have a minimum current to operate. for a 9v battery source and a LED of 3.2v operating at 20ma the solution will be 9v-3.2=5.8v therefore to limit the current to 20ma a resistor of 5.8v/0.02=290 ohms not such an animal so a 270-300 ohms will work. Final note make sure that the LED power is not exceeded 3.2v x0.02ma=63 mw
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
I think you mean 'turns' rather than 'coils' (a coil is made up of a number of turns). The answer is that, yes, the turns ratio is the same as the voltage ratio, for an ideal transformer.
How do I reduce 2000 mA or 2 Amps with 5V down to 20 mA with 5V?
assuming 5v steady the 2 amps can be virtual zero by reducing the load present
How is ac condenser motor works?
Device for reducing a gas or vapour to a liquid. Condensers are used in power plants to condense exhaust steam from turbines and an in refrigeration plants to condense refrigerant vapours, suchas ammonia and freons. The petroleum and chemical industries use condensers for hydrocarbons and other chemical vapours. In destillation a condenser transforms vapour to liquid. All condensers work by removing heat from the gas or vapour. In some, the gas passes through a long tube of heat-conductive metal, such as copper (usually arranged in a coil or other compact shape), and heat escapes into the surrounding air. Large industrial condensers use water or some other liquid to remove the heat. The term condenser also refers to a device attached to carding machines in textile factories to collect fibres into roving for spinning machines.
Why external resistances are added to armature circuit in a dc motor?
extra resistance is added in order to decrease starting current and improve starting torque
What is a Current Reversing Transformer?
This is a transformer built into electrical appliance to make electricity meter to stop reading or made to read in reverse order. This reduces the consumption reading and cheats the system. That is bad.
What is need of space vector pulse width modulation?
due to space vector modulation we can eliminate the lower order harmonics
How is grid frequency and power plant output frequency matched?
contrary to the belief that the 50-60 Hz is stable in reality it is not frequency changes constantly during the day as power is increased or reduced but the average for a day is pretty much constant. a generating plant is a thermal or hydro machine it cannot responds very fast. so the average is stable for the grid since all plants have reserve spin power available constantly
What is the Formula to calculate KVA?
to calculate kva rating of single phase transformer:
kva rating= Q =Vp * Ip * 10^-3
where,
Vp= terminal voltage of primary winding
Ip= current of primary winding
so,
Q = V * I *10^-3
=2.22 * f * phi *Kw *Aw *delta * 10 ^-3
where,
f= frequency in hertz
phi= maximum flux in weber
Kw=window space factor
Aw=window area in m2
delta= current density in A/m2
but,
phi (maximum flux) =maximum flux density * net area of core
=Bm * Ai
so,
Q=2.22 * f *Bm * Ai *Kw *Aw *delta * 10 ^-3 kva
to calculate three phase transformer,
Q= 3.33 *Bm* Kw* Aw*Ai * 10 ^-3
What is percentage reactance of trasformer?
Percentage reactance of a transformer (or in general, a circuit) is the percentage of phase voltage drop when full load current flows through it, i.e
%X=(IX/V)*100.
Now Short Circuit Current is V/X
So short Circuit current is I*(100/%X).
