How many watts are in 220 amps?
This is 220 volts AC, I assume. 10 x 220 = 2.2kVA of power. The real power will depend on the power factor. Take the power factor times 2,200 to find the watts.
Do rechargeable batteries leak?
Batteries in general are built to not leak. The components needed to keep an electrical charge are poisonous and can be extremely hazardous to your health if swallowed or even touched. A probable cause of a battery leaking would be exposure to extreme temperatures that the inner components do not do well with. Also, after prolonged periods of time, the battery metals might begin to rust and decay, thus allowing the leak.
Why is my power outlet not receiving power?
The recepticle could be a GFI ( ground fault interuptor) which needs to be reset. The circut breaker might have tripped, or you could have a bad plug-in. All are pretty easy to fix. Now if it is a light socket, it could be a bad switch, a tripped circut breaker or a bad light socket.
How is copper losses reduced in transformers?
how to reduce copper losses in a transformer
Copper losses are due to the resistance of the copper (or aluminum) windings.
To reduce copper losses the transformer would have to be rewound with heavier gage wire.
Why do signs read Danger-High Voltage rather than Danger-High current?
Electricity is transferred with high voltage and low current to reduce transmission loss ( I2R , where R= resistance of wire).
As high voltage is present in transmission lines, Danger-high voltage is written.
Can you convert single phase electric motor to three phase connection?
Three-phase motors will run on single-phase power. What they WON'T do is start. There is no easy way to re-wire such a large motor to run on a single phase.
Properly sized capacitors and a special relay is sometimes used on sewage lift stations (poopie stations is what we call them) to run the 3-phase pumps on single phase.
I've seen 10 hp motors used. Sometimes a lift station is needed where 3-phase power is not available The motor will not develop it's full horsepower, only about 2 thirds. A push-button can be used in place of the relay, but you will have to push the button until the motor starts then let go. If the motor stops you will need to push the button again. Usually expect several hundred micro-farads to be needed.
I have used old A/C motor-run capacitors in parallel to experimentally determine the actual size (capacitance) needed. Be sure to use correct working voltage capacitors. DANGER!!! Electricity can EASILY kill you and capacitors can blow up in your face!!!
I've seen crazy people attempt to rope-start three-phase motors (it works), connect phase converters, all sorts of weird stuff. In reality, single-phase 5hp motors are available, so the a good recommendation is to trade-in the 3-phase motor for a 1-phase motor of the size you need.
<><><>
To run a three phase equipment from a single phase source, you will need something called a "phase converter".
Before you go out and buy one, find out if a single phase motor is available to match your requirements. It will probably be an easier solution for you if you can do that.
<><><>
Depending on your application, another option with such a large motor is to get a "Variable Frequency Drive". These are somewhat expensive but will take in a single-phase input and output 3-phase.
<><><>
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 household AC electrical power mains voltage in Canada?
North America is all connected to the same electrical grid. Much of the power that is generated in Canada is exported to the US.
<<>>
The standard voltage is 120V for lights and plugs, and 240V for stove, heaters and drier loads. The distribution system is 3 wire and the street transformer is center tapped 240V with neutral at centre which means that from red to neutral the voltage is 120V and same for black to neutral, with the voltage between black and red being 240V which is distributed through 2 linked breakers.
Canada uses plug types A, and B, exactly the same as in the US.
What colour wire goes to a plug in New Zealand?
Assuming you are asking about the flexible cord going from an appliance to its plug, the standard wire colors for flexible cable - such as extension cords, power (line) cords and lamp cords - are stated in the Australia & New Zealand Standards (AS/NZS 3000:2007 3.8.1)
Live: brown
Neutral: light blue
Protective earth/ground: green/yellow

What are the uses of De-solder Guns?
De-soldering gun is used for removing molten solder, defective components, altering, and salvaging high value components in a circuit for possible re-use.
Can I use a 120v rated bulb in a 240v socket on a 120v circuit?
Only if you want very dim orange light instead of white light, as the 240 volt bulb will operate at only one quarter its power rating when operated at 120 volts. But its life will be greatly increased.
How do you repair plasma television?
Probably not. It's a vacuum chamber and when it cracked, it let air into the envelope.
The again, if it's still working, your TV may have a plastic cover over the screen to protect it.
One thing I do know first hand, is that the cost of the screen replacement will probably be more than the cost of the TV itself. I'd suggest you use your home owner's insurance and replace it. You'd be much better off.
What is the main difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
The series circuit has one wire, while the parallel circuit has two wires. And if you connect the extra wire its dim because your taking away electrons and energy flowing through the main circuit
-Hope this helped:D
The difference is that series circuit has one path but parallel has more than one path.
-hope this helped!:D

What frequency is used for electric power delivered to homes in Canada?
Homes in Canada use 240/120 volts at 60 cycles per second (60Hz) single phase. It is a split-phase system that delivers 240 volts to large domestic appliances (e.g. washing machines, dryers, air-conditioners, etc.) and 120 volts to lights and general socket outlets used for small appliances (coffee machines, electric shavers, televisions, etc.).
How did the radio look like when it was first time invented?
The first radio used visible coiled wiring and a large circular wire antenna. It did not have a case or speakers built into it and did not look like what a person of today might expect a radio to look like. The first designs of a functional radio were created in 1888 by Heinrich Rudolf Hertz after spending two years studying James Clerk Maxell's theory on electromagnetism, a theory that proposed the existence of electromagnetic waves. Hertz's design was the first properly functional radio transceiver which could send and receive signals, although these signals weren't informative. It would still be decades until we developed this technology to resemble the humble radio we know and love today.

How do you determine if an electrical coil is faulty?
I assume you have something like a V12 with two banks of 6 cylinders each fed with a separate coil. I suggest you pull the lead off one of the plugs (with the engine off, naturally) and push a big nail inside the plug lead. Hold the end of the lead between two pieces of wood to insulate it and start her up. Point the nail as close to the spark plug as you can without touching it (or to any clean point on the engine block, like a bolt head you have sanded shiny) and see if you get a rhythmic spark (or any spark at all). No spark = no electicity. It doesn't actually prove the COIL is faulty because it might be that the coil is not getting any electricity supplied to it, but it's a start.
Why are Christmas tree lights wired with parallel circuits instead of with series circuits?
voltage drop across all the parallel elements is equal and it is equal to input voltage.
we know for home applications in voltage and frequency is fixed, ex: in India voltage=230v and frequency=50 Hz. All devices we used in home having voltage specification =230 to 240v, but different current. so home use parallel circuits.
To make this a bit more general, in a series circuit each device in the circuit has some dependence on all the other items. A simple example is a number of light bulbs in series. If any one light bulb burns out the circuit opens and all the other bulbs go out. Also if you needed to add more bulbs in the same series circuit then all bulbs would be dimmer.
Luigi Galvani was a famous Italian philosopher and physicist, and he also worked as a doctor. He famously worked on the muscles in dead frogs and was a pioneer in the biology of the nervous system.
How do you change the starter on a 2000 Dodge Neon?
If the 95 is anything like the 90, the bolts are right on the flange type part of the starter, where the starter meets the transmisison. there is 3 bolts holding it in. they are most likely 13mm, 14mm, or 15mm bolts. but on some caravan models you have to remove the front transmission mount to get to it. this is probabally why you cant find em'. but you will have to remove the mount, then the starter bolts. then you have your starter out! but when you want to put the mount back in, you may need a floor jack to lift the engine/trans um into the right spot to put the bolt back through the rubber part. Tricky, but possible.
The switch will not increase the current. The only thing that will increase the current is adding a larger load.
Another Answer
To maximize current flow in a circuit with 2 Flashlightbatteries, 2 Flashlight bulbs, and a switch, set aside the bulbs, put the batteries in series, connect the switch between the end poles of the battery set, and close the switch. The batteries will get hot and probably leak electrolyte, and be drained in seconds.
If you want to maximize current through the circuit withthe bulbs in it, connect the bulbs in parallel to each other, and in series with the switch.
Can you convert 240 volt to 208 volt?
I'm sure you could, but it wouldn't be practical. The reason for this is because 208 volts between two phases comes from a three phase transformer, while 240 volts phase to phase comes from a single phase, center tapped transformer. If you're asking regarding a resistive load, such as a heater, the load should work with 240 volts or 208 volts. There will be a slight difference in performance, but it shouldn't be very noticeable. If you're asking because you have a motor load rated for 208v, you'll likely see that the motor requires three phase 208 volt power and you only have 'two phase' 240v power. You can however supply a three phase equipment or motor with a device called a phase converter.
Can a 400 watt metal halide bulb replace a 250 watt bulb using the same fixture?
Sure. You can also set fire to the pants you're wearing at the time while you're at it. They're about equally good ideas.
A lamp that's rated for 60 watts has been determined to be safe when used with a bulb of that wattage. Higher wattage bulbs, especially halogen bulbs, are likely quite a bit hotter than the lamp was designed to withstand ... and that's ignoring the fact that the wiring was designed for currents appropriate for a 60-watt load, and quadrupling that is going to overload them and may even cause them to short out and/or catch fire.
Because I'm not absolutely certain that anyone who would think this could possibly work out okay will pick up on the subtle nuances here ...
Do not ever use a bulb of a wattage higher than the fixture is rated for.
