How do run 380V motor in 440V supply voltage?

You can use a voltage regulator IC/transistor that can take any input voltage (to a point) and spit out whatever voltage you want, depending on your application (in this case 380 volts) then be sure you build a regulator with the correct IC/transistor.

Hope this helps!

Does low load in transformer lead to low power factor?

Power factor is determined by the nature (resistive, inductive, capacitive) of a load, not whether it is a low load or a high load.

Why don't we use one piece for transformer core?

If, by 'one piece', you mean solid -as opposed to laminated- then the answer is that a solid core will have significantly-higher eddy current (circulating current) losses than a solid core.

What is the importance of slip in a 3-phase induction motor?

Slip is a measure of the difference in relative motion between the rotor and the magnetic field set up by the field windings.

In very simple terms, without slip an induction motor would not be able to develop any torque! A slip of zero means that the rotor is turning at synchronous speed; in other words it is running at the same speed as the rotating field set up by the field windings, so there is no relative movement between the field and the rotor. To develop torque, the voltages must be induced into the rotor, and this can only happen if there is relative movement between the field and the rotor -in other words, the rotor MUST be running more slowly than synchronous speed. That is, there must be some degree of slip.

What is the difference between balanced earth fault and restricted earth fault?

There is such a thing as a three phase to earth fault, so maybe this is what you mean by a "balanced earth fault". I don't believe any earth or ground currents would flow in this case. A restricted earth fault is a typical phase to earth fault, where the zone of protection is restricted to a specific area, such as around a transformer. "Restricted" is referring to the protection method, not what is actually going on with the currents and voltages.

Is 12 volts dc as powerful as 120 volts ac?

You get power by multiplying the amperes and the voltage. 12V, 10A dc would give the same power as 120V, 1A ac.

What is the meaning of mutual inductance as transformer works on the principle of mutual inductance?

Mutual inductance describes the process by which a changing current in one coil, creates a changing magnetic flux which, when it links with a second coil, induces a changing voltage into that coil.

What is the function of the primary current when the secondary winding of the transformer is open?

When the secondary of a transformer is opened, there is no longer any load on the transformer. There will be some current flowing in the primary winding, which is needed to induce the voltage in the secondary. This primary current is referred to as the "no load" current, and is indicative of the core losses in the transformer.

What is a system that would be dangerous if resistance were not a part of a circuit?

Oh, VERY MANY! For example, a cord wrapped with rubber would be quite deadly. A light bulb that was incandescent would probably not produce light at all.

Which electric motor used for textile mill?

It depends on the type of application. However AC Synchronous motor is known to be used for specific textile equipment owing to its constant speed characteristic

Why does adding more appliances to a circuit increase the current?

More appliances means more load are being added, which necessariliy increases the current.

If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?

I assume you meant pressure to voltage.

The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.

Does a silicon diode conduct in reverse bias?

If it's a silicon zener diode, it conducts in the reverse direction after the rated voltage is reached. Otherwise, it only conducts in the forward bias direction.

Load test on 3 phase induction motor?

When you do a load test on a 3-phase induction motor you are checking the power factor, viz slip, and efficiency of the motor. You can test various loads with this test.

Is your house 120 or 240?

It is usually 240. Two lines enter your house, carrying 120 volts each, but they are out of phase by 180 degrees, so the two combined entering your house provide 240 volts, which is necessary for powering central air conditioning systems. You also have the option of powering everything else in your house with 120 volts because of the phase difference of 180 degrees without the need of a 2:1 turns ratio transformer in your house. You breaker box in you basement is wired to take advantage of this phase difference, supplying the 240 and 120 volt sources to the places that they are needed. This is a huge advantage of AC power.

What is 1 ohms on multimeter?

One ohm is a particular reading on the ohms scale of a multimeter. It corresponds, per Ohm's Law, to the resistance that a current of one ampere would cause a potential difference of one volt across. (Or one millampere and one millivolt, however it happens to scale.)

Do three 1m ohm resistors equal a 3m ohm resistor?

Only if you connect then in series.

RSERIES = Summation1toN (RN)

RPARALLEL = 1 / Summation1toN (1 / RN)

What is steel bracing of overhead transmission line?

Lattice steel tower consist of:-

1- Main members.

2- Bracing members.

3- Redundant members.

Steel Bracing is the connection between main members of lattice steel tower.

How much resistance must be placed in a 110 volt circuit in order to limit the current to 2 amps?

Ohm's Law: Resistance = Voltage divided by current

110 volts / 2 amperes = 55 ohms

Note: This represents 220 watts, which is a considerable amount of power for a resistor. In all likelihood, the resistance will change as a result of that amount of power (heat) so the end result, 55 ohms, is only valid as an absolute number, in that 55 ohms is the answer, but the cold value of the resistor is uncertain.

What is spike current?

A spike is a sudden rise in current that then goes back to normal. Usually caused by a sudden increase in voltage that could be caused by a lightening strike, for example.

How reactance is equal to 2pifL?

The equation of an inductor is ...

di/dt = L / V

... which means that the rate of change of current is proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance.

Set this up in a sinusoidal forcing circuit and solve the differential equation, or use phasors, and you get ...

XL = 2 pi f L

... which means that inductive reactance is proportional to both frequency and inductance by the factor of 2 pi.

I have not included the derivation, because I don't know how to do it, and it does not seem necessary. If someone wants to provide one, please feel free to refine the answer.
