Electrical Troubleshooting

Electrical troubleshooting involves checking and resolving an electrical problem (such as when an electrical device stops working correctly). Common troubleshooting practices include checking if the power is on, the bulb has burnt out, or the breaker tripped.

What can protect a computer from problems caused by a change in power?

  • A surge suppressor will protect against transient high voltage surges.
  • A ferroresonant transformer will protect against transient low voltage brownouts.
  • A uninterruptable power supply will protect against power failures of several minutes duration.

What generator size for twin 150 hp 480 3 phase motors 800 amps for a tire shredder.?

First of all, a 150 HP 460V 3-phase motor only draws around 170A, so two of them would only draw 340A, not 800.

340A at 460V equals almost 300,000 watts (or 300kw), and the generator would need to be sized a little bigger than this to start such big motors.

Can i Over load an oil filled transformer?

Any transformer can be overloaded by applying a load above the capacity rating of the transformer.

How do you know which way the capacitor goes on what is positive and negative on a tattoo machine?

It doesn't matter if there are not positive/negative markings. It can go either way. This is true of almost any dev1ce that doesn't differentiate the colors of connecting wires or special markings on the device.

At what frequency does a 350mH inductor have 4.7K ohms of reactance?

Begin with the most basic. Ohms law. I=E/X. Don't know I or E? Then the formula is, XL= 2 x pi x f x L. That is Inductive reactance equals 2 x 3.1416 X frequency in hertz x inductance in henrys.

If frequency is in MHZ, HF. VHF. UHF., radio frequencies, reactance in inductors/coils is small and requires no conversion if the values are expressed in microhenrys and megahertz.

If the question is not just a simple test question and you are dealing with a real world application, one must remember that current runs 90 degrees behind voltage, which is the opposite of the capacitor current-voltage relationship.

Which is better for trailer operation two six volt batteries in series or two 12 volt in parallel?

I would opt for the two twelve volt batteries in parallel. This configuration will give you the voltage that you need for the system to properly operate plus the endurance time that you can draw from the batteries will be doubled. The amp/hours capacity of batteries when in parallel are additive.

I have a electrical dryer 240 receptacle that reads 208 on voltmeter and the dryer display reads Pwr Failure and will not operate were did the other 30 volts go?

I am assuming that you have just moved into a new apartment building. Commercial building power systems are changing to 3 phase. The 3 phase voltages are 120/208. 240 volt equipment will run on 208 voltages but at a reduced wattage output. For example Watts = amps x volts. Say your dryer draws 20 amps x 240 volts = 4800 watts. Now at reduced voltage, 20 amps x 208 volts = 4160 watts. As you can see your dryer won't get as hot and will take longer to dry. Most apartments that come with appliances will be rated at 208 volts. See what your dryer manufacturer has to say about getting around the Power failure alarm or whether it can be bypassed to operate on the lower voltage. Other option is to sell the 240 volt dryer and buy a 208 volt dryer.

at 208 volts it will not draw 20 amps either

In Paralleling busbar with different cross sectional area then what would be the effect on the smaller one?

if the bus-bars are used as the neutral or ground, then 0v would return. nothing will happen except for less room for connections

How many times can the electrical high voltage test at 2kV ac be run to confirm the quality of the electrical insulation?

A HiPot test at 2kV can be done as many times as need be. Preventative maintenance programs sometimes schedule for it to be done once a year. Other schedules require more frequent inspections depending on the circumstances and the environment in which the conductor is located.

What is true about resistance?

It is measured in ohms. It is the opposition of movement of electric charge. It is related to voltage and current by Ohm's Law. Resistance is what builds up pressure and it can also generate heat as with friction.

Can you use a 125V 15A fuse to replace a 250V 10A fuse?

No, it is not safe to replace a 250V 10A fuse with a 125V 15A fuse. The voltage rating of the fuse must be equal to or greater than the system voltage, and the amperage rating must be equal to or lower than the rated current of the circuit. Using a lower voltage or higher amperage fuse can lead to safety hazards, including potential fire risks.

Why do lights get brighter before they burn out?

When the tungsten in the lightbulb filament reaches the point where it cannot handle the current anymore, because too much of it has vaporized off, it momentarily has a higher amount of current go through it, just before it separates (burns out). From many hours of giving a steady glow, it dies in a last burst of energy flowing through it - more energy than it can handle.

What effect would occur if the intermediate switch s3 were replace by a double pole switch?

You seem to be referring about a 3 way lighting circuit. If the cross over switch is replaced with a double pole switch, depending on how the switch was wired into the circuit, the load lamp would either stay on or not light at all. A circuit in a three way configuration has two traveler legs between the two switches The intermediate switch in the circuit just switches the two traveler legs from open to close depending on the position of the other two switched. Google, three way switching, they have many diagrams to work from.

What company manufactured Master Mechanic generators and how do you obtain wiring diagrams for them?

I would love to get my hands on some wiring diagrams also. My unit was made by;

Master Mechanic Manufacturing Co.

Everlite Division

Burlington, Wisconsin

I have a model FSRE? ESBF? It's hard to tell. letters are not stamped very deep on the tag. It is powered by a B&S engine.

2800 watts

S/N 73B(R?)

Hope this helps.

Where is power window fuse for 2001 Ford Focus located?

Fuse 56 - front windows. Fuse 57 - rear windows. Located on the fuse panel under the dash on the drivers side.

What is a proximity contact?

A proximity contact is one component of a proximity switch. These types of switches are used in positions where limit switches would not have enough room to operate. There is an internal circuit in the head of the proximity switch that can sense the presence of a metallic object. When sensing a metallic object the internal circuity energizes a relay that closes the proximity's contacts. The contacts are in the C class form which consists of a common and one normally open and one normally closed contact.

What does Lb la n in electrical mean?

I have never come across this terminology in the electrical trade. The letter L is a symbol used to express inductance. The unit of measure is a "Henry"In some documentation the system voltage legs are referred to a A, B, and C.

In the electrical trade the letter L is used with a reference number behind it.

For example L1, L2 and L3 represent the three legs of a three phase system. Incorporating the letter N into the system would give you a representation of a three phase four wire system where you would obtain a voltage from each leg to the grounded neutral. The voltage from any of the three legs to neutral would be, leg to leg voltage divided by 1.73. This would give you the leg to neutral voltage. For example 480 volts / 1.73 = 277 volts or 600 volts /1.73 = 347 volts.

What are the types and model of communication?

There are so many different types and models of communication. The most common include Aristotle's Model, Shannon-Weaver model, modern communication model and Thayer's model among others.

What is locked rotor?

Locked rotor current is the amount of current a motor would draw if you energize the motor and the rotor (the spinning shaft) doesn't spin.
