Why is an automatic toaster open loop system?
since i doesnt take any feedback and the bread pops out as soon as the time is over. whether the bread was toasted or not is not seen, hence it is open loop.
How many Slip rings in synchronous motor?
If the synchronous motor is single phase then there are two slip rings & if this motor is three phase so the slip rings are three in number.
Correction;
I have never seen a single phase synchronous motor. It would cost more that it was worth.
A synchronous motor has a separately excited field. If the excitation comes from a stationary DC source it has 2 slip (collector) rings.
A brushless induction motor has no slip rings because the exciter armature rotates and so do the rectifiers.
A permanent magnet motor, used with variable frequency drives, is another type of synchronous motor that has no slip rings.
A three phase motor with 3 slip rings is a Wound Rotor motor. Wound rotor motors are variable speed motors that were used for such applications as bridges and cranes before variable speed drives.
What is difference between nominal and terminal voltage?
The rated voltage of a motor listed on the nameplate is called the terminal voltage. This indicates the actual voltage on the motors terminals at which at which the manufacturer designed to operate. Whereas, Nominal voltage is the design or configuration voltage of the electricity distribution system.
How do you calculate holding current of scr when latching current is given?
we know that ratio of holding current to latching current in scr is 0.4.
How do you measure effective value of an alternating voltage?
The "effective" value of an alternating voltage is generally considered to be the RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value. The best way to measure that is with a True RMS voltmeter.
Lacking that, if the voltage is sinusoidal, you can use an older style peak measuring voltmeter that estimates RMS value by dividing internally by the square root of 2. Any other shaped waveform will be measured incorrectly, depending on the amount of deviation from sinusoidal. (Square wave is the best example of error in this case - RMS and peak should be the same, but they won't read the same except on a True RMS voltmeter.)
That's like asking how many meters in a liter.
Ampere and Volt are two DIFFERENT measurements.
Ampere is how much electricity you are using, while volts are how much pressure the electricity is under(Think water).
If you want to figure out how many amperes your appliance is using you could use this formula: P=UxI (Watt=Volt x Ampere) or U=RxI(Volt=Resistance x Ampere).
Can you have current without voltage?
Sure - an unconnected power supply of any kind - a battery is + at one end and - at the other.
What is hi-pot test in cables?
you run the voltage up to 2x the operating voltage + 1000v
this detects exposure to moisture and pinholes in insulation
if it cant pass a hi-pot test chances are it wont pass signals reliably either
How does an auxiliary contact work?
The auxiliary contact is to be utilized for interlocking of another relay or contactor or indication signal from another equipment.
How can you determine how much power a circuit will generate if you know the voltage and resistance?
Ohms law provides the formula to determine any of the three components in a circuit voltage=E Resistance=R and Current=I so with any two you can figure out the third:
So to find I use I=E/R so you divide the resistance into the voltage and you have the current(in amps) or power.
Power can be found using the equation: power = (voltage)2 / resistance.
The Equation is PIE where P is power in watts. I is current in amps. E is voltage in volts. P equals I times E. 240 watts is created with 120 volts and 2 amps of current
Primary current is a flow to be measured that cannot be safely passed through the measuring device. A current transformer is used to provide a lower level, secondary current that can be passed safely through the measuring device. Primary current is measured as a secondary current, multiplied by the turns ratio in the current transformer.
What are the applications of silicon controlled switch?
voltage sensor, alarm circuit, Pulse generator, counter,
register and timing circuits.
Zener Regulation with a varying load?
Zener diodes attempt to keep terminal voltage constant. If the load is fairly small, a single zener diode can be used for this purpose. If the load is large enough that the zener cannot hold the voltage within desired margins, I suggest using the zener to control the base of a power transistor; the emitter or collector (depending on transistor type) will be used as the output to the load.
What is the meaning of the different symbols and abbreviations found on engineering drawings?
There are different national and international standards for symbols and abbreviations. You will need to check out the national standards for the drawings you are referring to.
How long can a capacitor hold a charge for?
Depends upon the capacitance. The time of holding charge can analyse by transient analysis.
What is a c200 current transformer?
This is a class of current transformers, and is a fairly low class. This has to do with what kind of burden can be placed on the secondary. A general rule is a C200 current transformer can supply ~200 volts at full ratio to its' secondary. If the burden (the CT resistance + cable resistance + relay or instrument resistance) times the maximum expected current is higher than 200 volts, the CT is likely to saturate.
During multiple fault events, a CT may keep some magnetizing current causing CT saturation to be higher on a reclose event. Typically CT's are sized and their ratios are chosen to minimize saturation when feasible.
How is Ampere-hour calculated if four 65 Ah batteries in series for UPS?
The ampere-hour rating of series connected batteries is the same as that for one battery, so the ampere-hour rating of four 65 Ah batteries in series is still 65 Ah.
The reason for this is Kirchoff's current law - the signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero - or - the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
What will happen if a voltmeter has a low shunt resistance instead of having high shunt resistance?
The purpose of a voltmeter is to indicate the potential difference between two points in a circuit.When a voltmeter is connected across a circuit, it shunts the circuit. If the voltmeter has a low resistance,it will draw a substantial amount of current. This action lowers the effective resistance of the circuit andchanges the voltage reading.
What small building contains transformers and electrical equipment?

What is the maximum supply voltage for a 74LS08?
The maximum supply voltage per the data sheet is 5.25 volts. This is a common max for TTL type IC's.
What is simultaneity factor in power distribution?
Not all the loads in an electrical installation operate at their nominal power all the time. A good example are the plug sockets which are rarely used at their maximum output (which in this case would be the limit of the protective fuse of 10 or 16 amps). So, in order to get a realistic image of the power demand, there is also a simultaneity factor applied. But each tipe of consumer can have its own factor depending on the tipe of load, ratio of its usage and also on the interpretation of the engineer. Coming back to the example with sockets, usually a coefficient of 0.2 is taken into consideration but for other loads that are operating at their nominal current/power(like lighting) a higher factor up until 1 would be assumed.
By multiplying the nominal power with simultaneity factor you will get the power demand.
