What is meaning rms?

In shipping it meant Royal Mail Ship, as in RMS Titanic. There are most likely a lot of other meanings also.

Why would one wants to become a control system engineer?

A; I guess would be the challenge and possibly better pay. The design of a system differs from design of electronics since it is more of a concept in nature as opposed to known applications of design.

How do you calculate voltage regulation of 33kv and 11kv distributions?

Regulation =(Obtained voltage per phase - rated voltage per phase)/rated voltage per phase *100

How many amps can a 100 KVA transformer carry?

A 100kVA transformer is rated for...100kVA. That is its' power rating, and it is based off the current that is flowing through the transformer (the I^2*R losses are the limiting factor). This can be 80kW and 60 kVARs, or 100kW and 0 kVARs, or 100kVARs, or anywhere inbetween.

Another Answer

The 'power' rating of a transformer is the product of its secondary voltage and its secondary current, expressed in volt amperes or multiples thereof. It's not expressed in watts, because to know the 'true power' of the transformer, the manufacturer will need to know the power factor of the load, and that could vary considerably. Incidentally, the symbol for kilovolt ampere is 'kV.A', not 'kVa'.

What are the differences between the natures of dc flux and ac flux?

dc flux is caused by dc current (flux and current are proportional), it is a constant value. Put an inductor (or transformer winding) across a battery and you will get dc flux.

ac flux is caused by ac current (flux and current are proportional), it is a moving value, the flux moves with the current, typically cyclical but the waveform is arbitrary as long as we're moving.

How much electric power you can take from a 5KW generator?

5000 Watts if it runs ideally. It really depends on the generator's efficiency. Lets say, if its working on 80% efficiency, it'll provide with

0.8 * 5000 watts of electric power.

How do you generate sinusoidal voltage?

The most common ways are:

  • Mechanically, by placing a coil in a rotating magnetic field, or a rotating coil in a fixed magnetic field. This is how AC power is generated.
  • Electronically, using an oscillator circuit. This is how sinusoidal waveforms are produced in all sorts of electronic equipment.

What does mono phase mean in electrical engineering?

mono phase probably means that you're using a linear phase response filter or delay meaning that all your frequency components get the same delay. Think of a square wave in the frequency domain, and how delay of reactive systems are a function of frequency

What is the best way to deal with faulty electrical equipment?

The best way to deal with faulty electrical equipment is to have it repaired or replace it.

What is dimmerstat?

Dimmer stat is an auto transformer which is generally connected to supply which provide us step up /step down output depending on the terminal to which input is connected.

Normally there are two ways to operate a Dimmer stat:-

1.the output voltage can be varied from 0 to full supply voltage.

2. voltage from 0 to 12 % higher than supply voltage

This can be easily understood by connection diagram of a Dimmer stat-

Why synchronous impedance method of determining voltage regulation is called as pessimistic method?

Because the saturation is not taken into consideration so the impedance calculated is more than the impedance that would have resulted once the saturation is taken into account.-- By Ankit(bigboss0086@gmail.com)

What are the component of ohms law?

basically there are 2 component of ohm law 1 is current (I) and other is voltage(v).Current and voltage are directly proportional to each other.

If one increases other also increases and vise versa

.this give a new Quantity resistance(R).

V=IR

R=V/I

What is voltage divider circuit?

The two resistor voltage divider is used often to supply a voltage different from that of an available battery or power supply. In application the output voltage depends upon the resistance of the load it drives.

When is the efficiency maximum in a transformer?

the efficiency is maximum in a transformer when no load loss is equal to load loss.

What is the use of a capacitor for the correction of ripple factor?

You get ripple in a power supply that is converting AC to DC because in a full-wave bridge the waveform, unfiltered, looks like a sine wave where the negative part of the cycle is flipped to positive. The Capacitor stores charge so its use helps keep the voltage from dropping so quickly to zero. The decay of the charge on the capacitor depends on the resistive load. If you could hold the highest voltage long enough before the next cycle voltage increased you would have no ripple. Various capacitor circuits, with other components, are used to reduce ripple to an acceptable range for an application.

Why are high voltages not used in the home?

because you will get shocked

High voltages are not used in residential settings primarily because of electro-magnetic interference. Although it would be much more efficient you would never be able to watch tv,listen to a radio...etc.

Answer

High voltages are only necessary for the transmission and distribution of electricity; the reasons for this simply don't apply at the point of use. The hazards involved with high voltage make it completely unsuitable for use in the home.

How does an ice cube relay work?

The relay is used to "interlock" a circuit. It consists of a coil and a number of auxiliary "normally open" or "normally closed" contacts. A limiting condition is wired through the coil contacts and resulting conditions are wired through the auxiliary contacts. When the limiting condition is met, the coil will pull in and change the state of the auxiliary contacts. For example, if you want a lamp (lamp 1) to turn off when a second lamp (lamp 2) is turned on, lamp 1 would be wired through a "normally closed" set of contacts and lamp 2 would be wired through the coil contacts. When lamp 2 is turned on, the coil will pull in and open the "normally closed" contact for lamp 1, turning it off.

What is a RAN engineer?

RAN stands for Radio Access Network. A RAN Engineer generally works for a wireless carrier, such as T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon. They deal with the air interface part of the network, so their responsibilities could involve finding tower locations and having cell sites built, designing the frequency plan, selecting antennas and downtilts, and finally optimizing the network. They are the ones that research and correct your dropped calls and try to eliminate No Service areas. They also monitor traffic and try to grow the network as needed to accommodate all the users. Remember that cell phones are just little radios that talk to big radios (cell sites); a good RAN engineer minimizes interference and creates the best experience for the customer. They work with Switch, Core, Translations, Network, Construction, and Field Engineers. RAN engineering is a very specific field; if you are interested, obtain an Electrical Engineering degree.

What is the maximum lethal DC voltage?

The maximum lethal DC voltage is 1 billion volts (...so says Doctor Evil...).

The minimum lethal voltage is dependent upon the person. Generally a higher voltage would be associated with men vs. women. 90 mA is enough to cause loss of muscle control in 99% of men, and 60mA is enough to do the same for women (Deleterious Effects of Electric Shock, Charles F Dalziel). The voltage associated with this current will be dependent upon skin resistance (mostly), which can very from individual to individual.
