What is difference between main winding and auxiliary winding?
In the case of a capacitor-start/run single-phase induction motor, the main field is provided by the main (running) winding, and the capacitive branch is the auxiliary winding. In the case of a capacitor-start motor, the main winding is the running winding and the auxiliary winding is the starting winding.
I'm not sure this is true. "Regulation" has to do with how the transformer's terminal voltage behaves under different loading scenarios - under heavy load, the voltage is typically dragged down some; if the transformer regulation is "good", it will not be impacted too much. Furthermore, to offset this, many transmission to distribution transformers have load tap changers which effectively add or remove windings from the secondary side (typically), allowing manual or automatic regulation as load increases and decreases. Transmission level transformers often do not use LTC, and thus regulation is more limited (these are also usually much larger transformers). The terminal voltage could fluctuate then to +/- ~5% of nominal.
Circuit breakers, therefore, must be sized for the maximum voltage expected (what I have seen spec'd is 105% nominal), and maximum fault current expected. I don't think you can under size the circuit breaker to operate on a lower voltage simply because under heavy loading voltage might be lower than ideal.
Difference in potential between two points. Like the voltage of an energizer AA battery is 1.5 volts BETWEEN its terminals. If you place two AA batteries in a flashlight, the voltage of the series combination of AA batteries from one tip to the other is now 3 volts.
Earth pit is a glass-covered pit or trench that safeguards plants from frost. It is also used in making charcoals because it becomes a shield against oxygen.
A arrangement of Equipment between two bus-bars.
Example 1 and 1/3, 1 and half etc.
What is the apparent rule for combining resistances in parallel circuits?
The effective conductance is the sum of the individual conductances. "Conductance" is the reciprocal of resistance. Expressing the rule in terms of resistances:
1 / R = 1 / R1 + 1 / R2 + 1 / R3 ...
Where "R" is the effective (combined) resistance, and R1, R2, etc. are the individual resistances.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of clipping circuit?
In what context? Assuming signal transmission, the main disadvantage of a clipping circuit is that the data transmitted at values outside the circuit's range will be "clipped" (for example, if the clipping value is 20V, and the signal is 23V, the output will be 20V). This is esp. visible with audio circuits, and with electron tube circuits in general.
The main advantage, at any rate, would be that a clipping circuit would serve as, say, an overvoltage protection for sensitive devices. But that is a bit of guessing on my part. If the circuit (or circuits) are to be designed properly, I would say that a bridging circuit should be built instead - a circuit that would "shake hands" between two other circuits, bringing their respective levels to a level common for both, or by translating between the two.
When a shunt generator fails to build up the voltage then how to rectify the fault?
It fails to build up because self excited DC motor's armature have only one direction of rotation. So that if the poles of the armature are reversed, then this causes the reduction in the residual magnetism and eventually, it will stop.
What is mean by compensated and uncompensated power transmission line?
Power transmissions lines are inductive by nature. Power in AC systems is transmitted by varying the phase angle between source and receiving end following the below equation:
Vsource * Vrecieve * sin (phi) / (Zsource + Zrecieve + Zline)
V = the voltage
phi = angle between source and receiving end voltage
Z = impedance, Zsource = the impedance behind the source end
Series compensating lines is accomplished by adding capacitors in series on a line, which reduces the Zline term in the above equation. This allows more power to be transmitted from one end to the other.
Why dont breaks work properly if air bubbles get into the liquid?
Air is compressible to a much higher level than break fluid. When you pump your breaks, the fluid pushes the breaks into position to slow you down. If there's air in the lines, pumping the breaks will cause the air to be compressed into a smaller space within the lines instead of pushing the breaks into position.
What does OL mean on a ohm meter?
It means there is an open circuit. You could translate as zero Load.
A capacitor resists a change in voltage. The rate of change of voltage is proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance.
dv/dt = i/c
Put this in an AC circuit and analyze, and you learn that, as frequency goes up, capacitve reactance goes down; inversely, as frequency goes down, capacitive reactance goes up.
X = -1/(2 pi f C)
A signal generator can be used to function in two ways. In high frequencies, one of output probes of any generator (negative probe) will be grounded automatically, hence it has to be connected with grounded parts of other elements not to create a short circuit problem. But, in the case of floating type (f<100 Hz, generally) probes of the signal generator is not grounded.
7.0w/4 = 1.75w
What are the two major differences between a mechanical switch and a transistor?
Why the unit of potential difference and electromotive force is the same?
Because an electromotive force is a potential difference (voltage) -specifically, an electromotive force is the open-circuit or no-load potential difference of a source such as a battery or generator.
What is the difference between ac and dc grounding?
The difference AC and DC grounding is that AC is alternate current and DC is direct current. Grounding for both AC and DC is the same.
To what scale should the ammeter be set in order to read a current of 2000ma?
2000ma is equal to 2 amps. Set you meter to a current range ABOVE 2 amps.
What are advantages in THREE phase UPS over SINGLE phase UPS?
You need to match the UPS to the service. If it is three phase you need a three phase UPS, and vice versa for single phase. It isn't a case of being better, it is a situation where you need to match your application.
Derive an expression for efficiency of full and half wave rectifier?
The efficiency(n) of fullwave rectifier is defined as: n=DC output Power/AC input power But Power=V*I n=Vdc*Idc/Vrms*Irms But Vdc=2Vm/pi,Idc=2Im/pi ,Irms=Im/root(2),Vrms=Vm/root(2) (Im:Peak Curent) n=(4Vm*Im/pi^2)/(Vm*Im/2)=8/pi^2=0.812=81.2%. So efficiency of full wave rectifier is 81.2%
Why is voltage not expressed in milli volts?
Voltage most certainly can be expressed in millivolts. Milli is simply an prefix that means one thousandth. I have seem picovolts, microvolts, millivolts, volts, kilovolts, megavolts and teravolts in common use. Other prefixes are also valid.
What are the effects on the voltmeter if voltages measured exceed the range?
If the voltage measured exceeds the voltmeter range then the voltmeter needle remains in it's maximum position until it's voltage values are considerably reduced.
You need to conduct No load and full load losses tests to determine the losses.
