How do you turn a 3 phase motor in to a generator?

We can convert a 3 phase ac motor into generator by changing phase sequence of the ac input cable of that motor

Why kva rating of transformer is always multiple of 11?

It's not - I have seen 50kVA, 100kVA,...15000kVA, 36000kV, 180000kVA to name a few examples. Near where I live, I don't believe there are more than a few transformers rated in multiples of 11 as you state.

How much will neutral current be in a 3phase 4-wire y system with a balanced load?

Balanced load means no unbalanced currents, so the neutral current should be near zero.

How is reverse current in a diode produced?

The main reason for produce reverse current in a diode is "MINORITY CARRIERS". For reverse bias diode i.e negative terminal connected to p side and positive to n side the electrons in p side(minority charge carriers) attracted towards the positive polarity i.e towards positive terminal. Hence the current (reverse saturation) flows.Holes also contributed the current by attracting towards negative side.

Can you use a train transformer to power a cb radio?

For any power supply application you hav eto measure the supply specifications with the load specifications.

If the supply is AC the load should be designed to use AC and the same for DC to DC.

The voltages should match up.

The current that the load requires must be less than or equal to the current that can be provided by the supply.

Lastly the wires connecting the supply to the load must be sized to carry the current required by the load.

How do you step up ac voltage without using transformer?

A: Using a diode and a capacitor and replicating for the voltage that is desired. Be aware that the final voltage can be very hi for 120 v AC and be aware that the voltage is there but the power is limited due to repeating losses along the way.

What is the function of battery bank in a substation?

a very helpful function

Answer

Batteries are essential components in a substation. They provide the (tripping) current by which protective relays can trip high-voltage circuit breakers in the event of a fault. This means that the circuit breakers can trip even if the substation itself has lost its ancillary AC power supply.

How many ohms in MHz?

You can't mix apples and oranges nor resistance and frequency.

What are disadvantages of dynamic voltage restorer?

While the dynamic voltage restorer is good there are some disadvantages. These include its size and shape, the possibility of interference, and it is fixed and cannot be adjusted.

Why do you need neutral if things work with earth connection since both r at same potential?

Neutral is the common return, and it expected to be a current carrying conductor. Earth (or ground), on the other hand, is a protective conductor that is not expected to carry current. It is there to provide a path for current in the event of fault, and to trip the protective device, i.e. fuse or circuit breaker. Earth is also not usually insulated, so it is not rated to carry current other than long enough to trip the protective device.

What is 8 mega ohms equal to in kilo ohms?

Mega is 8 X 10^6 and Kilo is 8000 X 10^3.

For every 3 you go down in powers you divide by 1000, so 8 Mega ohms is 8,000,000 ohms. 8,000 Kilo ohms or 0.008 Giga ohms.

Will a victaulic fitting work as a dielectric?

Victaulic makes a dielectric fitting that could solve your issue.

What is theory of brake test on dc shunt motor?

Brake test is used to determine the efficiency of comparatively small motors. The motor is loaded directly by means of a mechanical brake (load) or by means of an eddy current or a calibrated air fan.

Can cat6 cable be used for 24 volts ac transmission?

Cat 6 is 22-24 AWG wire, so it can carry a few amperes. If you are not trying to transmit much (more than 30-50 watts or so), then it may be suitable. The voltage drop may be significant.

I have seen cat5 and cat6 sized cables used in 24v control systems.

What is the mathematical relationship between resistance and conductance?

The relationship between resistance and temperature is determined by a material's temperature coefficient of resistance (symbol, the Greek letter 'alpha'). In general, pure metal conductors are said to have a positive temperature coefficient of resistance, which means that their resistance increases with increase in temperature; in general, insulators have a negative temperature of resistance, which means their resistance decreases with an increase in temperature. Carbon, a conductor, also has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance. This negative temperature coefficient of resistance explains why insulators fail at higher temperatures.

This topic is relatively complicated, so just one example will be given. Assuming we know the resistance (R0) of a material at 0oC , then we can find its resistance (Rx) at another temperature (Tx), using the following equation:

Rx = R0 (1 + alpha Tx)

How do you convert 100 meg ohms to micro amps?

Ohms is a unit of resistance. Amps is a measure of current. They are related by Ohm's Law where Voltage = Current x Resistance.

In your example Resistance = 100 x 10 to the 6th power So V in Micro volts over 100 would yield current expressed as micro amps.

So if you had 100 volts you would have 1 micro amp.

Which type of filter is independent of load why?

LC filter

It is a combination of inductor and capacitor filter. Here an inductor is connected in series and a

capacitor is connected in parallel to the load as shown in fig 5.6. As discussed earlier, a series inductor

filter will reduce the ripple, when increasing the load current. But in case of a capacitor filter it is

reverse that when increasing current the ripple also increases. So a combination of these two filters

would make ripple independent of load current. The ripple factor of a chock input filter is given by

Since the d.c. resistance of the inductor is very low it allows d.c. current to flow easily through it. The

capacitor appears open for d.c. and so all d.c. component passes through it. The capacitor appears open

for d.c. and so all d.c components passes through the load resistor RL.

Bleeder resistor

For optimum functioning, the inductor requires a minimum current to flow through, at all time. When

the current falls below this rat, the output will increase sharply and hence the regulation become poor.

To keep up the circuit current above this minimum value, a resistor is permanently connected across the

filtering capacitor and is called bleeder resistor. This resistor always draws a minimum current even if

the external load is removed. It also provides a path for the capacitor to discharge when power supply is

turned off.
