How do compute the reactance in an inductive circuit?
Inductive reactance, XL, in ohms, is given by:
XL = 2 pi f L
where:
f = frequency (Hz)
L = inductance (H)
What determines the voltage in a generator?
in generator the flux will determines the voltage. the flux will improve by auto voltage controller or any other equipment.
What is the equivalent resistance of three resistor with 3 ohms connected in star?
There is no 'equivalent resistance' for three resistors connected in star.
What is effect of voltage and current by changing the length of wire?
By changing the length of wire, say reducing it, the resistance will drop and that will increase current flow but the voltage is less likely to change V=IR.
How dc voltage changes into ac voltage?
yes it is possible.we can convert dc into ac using inverter.this inverter is diff than our home inverter or using commutator.
How do you calculate the power consumption in a factory can you give me an idea?
its consist of 2 meters 1 is main meter 2 is check meter , actually this consumption was depend on CT, PT's and by this can find out multiplication factor (M.F).
consumption = (check meter reading KWH)*M.F ------1
Ex for M.F cal: system-C.T=200/1A, P.T=132Kv/110V,
Load- C.T=100/1A, P.T=132Kv/110v.
M.F=System C.T*P.T/Load C.T*P.T
there fore (200/1*132/110)/(100/1*132/110) = 2.-------2
Sub 2 in 1 then u got consumption.
What phase of DMAIC will you identify the root cause of the problem?
In the analyze phase of DMAIC you are able to identify the root cause of the problem.
What is an electrostrictive transducer?
any device that converts energy from one form to another usually electrical to mechanical by using the property of all electrical non-conductors, or dielectrics, that causes them to change their shape under the application of an electric field
About 660 watts. A hair dryer has a small blower motor and a resistance winding that heats up. The formula is watts = volts x amps x power factor. In the case of a resistive load like the wire that heats up the PF = 1. However, the blower will have a lower PF of about .8.

Learning Objectives:
* to learn the basic characteristics of DC motors and their control parameters
* to understand the various operating modes
DCmotors and their representation:
The basic principle of a DCmotor is the production of a torque as a result of the flux interaction
between a "field" produced on the STATOR (either produced by a permanent magnet, or a field
winding) and the current circulating in the "armature" windings on the ROTOR. In order to produce
a torque of constant sign, the armature winding loops are connected to a set of "brushes" which
commutate the current appropriately in each loop according to their geometric position. The
commutator is a MECHANICAL RECTIFIER.
Note that reversal of either the field current or the
armature current results in a torque in the opposite
direction. However, reversal of both fields does
not change the torque direction, hence it can be
used as a "universal motor" with DC or AC feed
if both windings are in series.

w = and one can control the speed with
1) Va "Voltage Control"
2) If "Field Control"
3) Ia (with If fixed) "Demand Torque"
In practice, for speeds less than the base speed (rated), the armature current and field currents
aremaintained at fixed values (hence constant torque operation), and the armature voltage controls
the speed. For speeds higher than the base speed, the armature voltage is maintained at rated value,
and the field current is varied to control the speed (note the hyperbolic characteristic). However,

this way the power developed Pd is maintained constant. This mode is referred to as "field weakening"
operation.
Case of Series Motor (or Universal Motor)
In this case the field winding is series with the armature winding, hence If and Ia are equal. This
leads to:

OperatingModes of DCMotors:
Motoring:
The back emf E < Va
both Ia and If are positive. The motor
develops a torque to meet the load
torque.
Dynamic Breaking:
The voltage source is removed, and the armature is shorted.
The kinetic energy stored in the rotor of the motor is dissipated in
the armature resistance since the machine now works as a generator.
Note here that theoretically, since the armature voltage is
proportional to the speed, the motor would never stop... but in fact
because there is also friction and viscous friction (windage), the
motor will stop as soon as the speed is at a certain low value.
Regenerative Breaking:
The back emf E > Va , the machine acts as a generator, and
the armature current flows towards the source, hence energy stored in
the machine rotor is fed back to the source. Note however that this
will cause the machine to slow down usually until E=Va and then
revert to mode 1.
Plugging:
Plugging iswhen the field current is reversed, hence the back emf changes sign, and the equation
of the machine becomes:
a a a V = -E - R I hence

= which means a very high torque generated in
the opposite direction of rotation. Avery powerful breaking takes place. However it must be noted
that the armature has to be opened as soon as the motor reaches zero speed, otherwise it will start
rotating in the opposite direction.

Two Transistor control of regenerative operation
When the main switch opens, the armature current I(a1) has to be dissipated through the
freewheeling diode.
Then if one closes switch T1, the
machine behaves as a generator with the
energy stored in its inertia. Therefore the
armature current I(a2)will start flowing and
follws I(1). After a certain time one opens
the switch T1, and the current I(a2) has to
be redirected via diode D2 back to the source
with I(2). This is because of the inductance
of the machine acts as an emf restoring the
flux stored in the magnetic field.
Then one closes T1 again and so on.
The chopping rate of switch T1 can be
set in order to control the average current
(Ia2), usually 1.5 times rated value. This is
possible only if the speed is fast enough to
provide terminal voltage. When the emf E
reaches E=Ra.I(rated), the switch T1 remains closed for
maximum breaking possible with the given emf.

How do you measure earthing using multimeter?
only earthing can not be measure. Anyone can only measures the voltage and the current with respect to the earthing .Thus it is impossible to measure the earthing.
Why is brushes placed at MNA in a dc generator?
to avoid sparking ,since their is no e.m.f induced in magnetic neutral axis.

To increase or decrease electrical voltage- step up or step down.

How do you get on to tanki online crystal generator?
I much prefer Cheat Engine 6.4 (free, easy and fast download) because it can hack anything, even fly and speed hack. Most people will say it is the easiest form of crystal generating and I agree. I have 3m Crystals
How do you calculate the load for a dc panel board?
Summation of individual load connected on the board gives the total load.
Power (Load ) = Voltage x rated current.

zener diode :
zener diode operates under reverse bias voltage
ideal diode :
ideal diode operates under forward bias voltage
What is non isolation transformer?
I also have the same question. After some research, I understand that you cant just jump in and calculate this. You have to have alot of information about that spesific generator.
I have found out that you can use some formulas from losses in transfomers.
AnswerAll mutual transformers are isolation transformers in the sense that the secondary winding is electrically-isolated from the primary winding. However, this is not the case for an autotransformer where part of the winding is common to both primary and secondary circuits.
So, to answer your question, an autotransformer is a 'non-isolation' transformer, although the term 'non-isolation' is not normally used.

Do appliances run on current or voltage?
This is a 'chicken and egg' situation. The motors in washing machines, etc., are driven by current but, without voltage, current cannot flow. You can't really separate the two.
Why does amplifier gain reduce?
Since we know that the amplifier gain is given by
A=Output voltage/input voltage (where A is the amplifier gain)
So, it can be written as output voltage=A*input voltage,
so when the output part increases gain increases but when input part increases gain decreases
