What is figure of merit?

it is amount if current takes for unit diffection in given galvanometer

Why is loadshedding necessary?

Since there is no sufficient power available as per the demand

What are the pros and cons of load shedding?

Original use was in the 50's when a stove and dryer was installed but the service could not handle both. The load shedder would automatically turn off one of the appliances so the other could run.

Industrial shedding could be multiple air compressors. As the pressure in one is close to minimum, another would be stopped to allow the low one to start.

Allowing more machinery to be connected to a service than it could handle without load shedding.

Disadvantage is that the shedded load may be necessary.

When i m going to update writer firmwire current go off now lg CD writer in not working help what can you do for this?

If it doesn't work at all there is not much what you can do because the internal firmware was already changed and you cannot undo this. You might have to send to the manufacture if it has warranty. If it doesn't you will have to buy another one.

What if in 3-phase connection load is not balance in three phases ie RYB?

due to unbalance load 1. Due to negetive phase sequence components in current generator and transformers suppling the load will be over heated 2. The opposite torque on the shaft will damage, rotors are more likely to damage. 3. High current through neutral of the system, normally neutral cable conductor is of lesser size then phase and hence it may be damaged.

If it is unknown that a circuit is on or not what would you do?

As an electrician, the circuit would be tested for voltage before starting any work. All people that deal with electricity for a living have testers. For people that are weekend electricians it should be suggested that they also buy one for their own protection.

Will a 48volt motor fit in a razor electric scooter?

maybe, but you have to see if the wires and the motor can fit it. That would be great if you can but the bad thing is the motor is made for a cycle with bigger batteries. the ride time would be cut in half because of the elctric draw.

Why is a 20 amp switch hot to the touch?

Most electrical switches even if designed and built correctly have a small amount of resistance to current flow.The upshot of this is that power is lost in the switch when current flows, ( from Ohm's Law: W=I x I x R, where W = watts, I = Amps , R = Ohms) In conclusion, where current flows through a resistance ( in this case the switch ) power is lost in the form of heat. Generally a 20A switch would be 'warm' to the touch, if it is 'hot' then this may indicate that the switch has a fault, for example a loose joint/connection or deteriorated contacts.

Does a Fluorescent lamp glow when taken near a high voltage line and is this experiment demonstrated in real life conditions?

This seems like a question from an electrical course, and is probably best answered by your course materials. It's your test question, not ours, and there won't always be someone else to ask for the answer. Earn your diploma.

What is Cast Resin Transformer?

Cast-resin power transformers encase the windings in epoxy resin. These transformers simplify installation since they are dry, without cooling oil, and so require no fire-proof vault for indoor installations. The epoxy protects the windings from dust and corrosive atmospheres. However, because the molds for casting the coils are only available in fixed sizes, the design of the transformers is less flexible, which may make them more costly if customized features (voltage, turns ratio, taps) are required.

Will a motor powering a altenater feeding a battery feeding an inverter power itself?

Nope. Nice try though. Folks have been trying to do this as long as there have been machines. Do a Google search for 'perpetual motion machine' and you'll see what I mean.

If a device is running on a 700mAh 9.6v battery what is the effect to this device if a battery with 2500mAh 9.6 v is used instead?

As both batteries have exactly the same output voltage 9.6 Volts, there will be no effect to the device.

The bigger battery just lasts for a longer period of time before it has to be re-charged.

You can get an approximate idea of how much longer by doing some simple calculations:

If the device takes a current of 100 mA,

* it would run for 700 /100 = 7 hours on the 700 mAh battery

* it would run 2500/100 = 25 hours on the 2500 mAh battery.

What is the Principle of working of lifts?

A lift, or an elevator, is run by the suspension of a boxed shaped enclosure on cables. To make the elevator go up, the cables are pulled from below through the use of a pulley system. The same is for going down except there are a series of brakes applied to make sure the cable does not fall.

What is the test button for on a GFCI or an RCD?

The "TEST" button is there for you to check the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or Residual Current Device (RCD) is operating correctly. When you test the device using its Test button it should trip to break the circuit. Then anything connected to that circuit will have no power. If the device is tripped - such as when you press the Test button - no outlet in that circuit will be able to work until you reset the device using its "RESET" button. If the GFCI or RCD just keeps on tripping off every time you reset it, then you have a circuit or appliance fault somewhere. The fault will have to be fixed before the device can be reset.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What is the leaky bucket theory?

it is a theory in which your chalkras can never be satisfied. you are costantly taking energy from those around you but in turn losing it almost as fast. if you go to some of the psychic vampire support sites you would get more information.

What is a wedding voltage?

A wetting voltage is a minimum electric current needed to break through the surface film of a contact. This film occurs most in areas of high humidity, and as such wetting current is needed for systems with delicate switches.

Why tube-light makes sound?

Due to the problems in the ballast.
Replace the ballast.

How to calculate the short circuit current of circuit breaker or cable?

A short circuit study is required for that, modeling the electrical system. The short circuit current is also directly dependent on the location of the building system relative to the power grid and type of transformer bringing power into the building.

For starters and keeping it "basic" look for Cooper Bussman's Point to Point Method of Short-Circuit Calculation. That is a good start and depending on what you need a good start. Remember to contact the utility company for available fault current, type of voltage transformer, transformer impedance and size.

If you want to get technical, get SKM's software (expensive though). With it you can go several steps further into short circuit analysis, selective coordination and finally arc-flash protection.

Hope this helped.

What are advantages of gas insulated sub station?

it requires lesser space compare to normal. design of switch gear is more compact , has the potentials to increase system reliability and has less maintenance and longer service life.

What is a telegraph circuit?

A telegraph circuit is an electrical circuit attached to a telegraph. This circuit is incomplete until the telegraph is connected, allowing for the Morse-code messages by tapping the circuit closed.
