Can a 230 v 1 np 60hz electric motor run safely with 380 v 3 phase?

SURE IF YOU WILL CONNECT IT CORRECTLY. 1. PROVIDE A SINGLE POLE CIRCUIT BREAKER- MINIMUM 16 AMP 2. CONNECT TO ANY PHASE (R,Y,B) - FROM CB TO THE FIRST TERMINAL OF THE MOTOR OR DOL STARTER IF AVAILABLE. 3. CONNECT THE SECOND TERMINAL IN THE NEUTRAL COPPER BUSBAR - USUALLY ARRANGED WITH TERMINAL BLOCK-UNINSULATED. 4. THIS CONNECTION IS NORMAL FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION USING LINE TO NEUTRAL FOR SINGLE PHASE LOADS. 5. 220 V OR 230 V IS ATTAINED FROM: 380 V DIVIDED BY SQRT OF 3 6. EQUIPMENT VOLTAGE=230V -- CURRENT=4 AMP ( IF 95% EFF. AND 85% P.F.) 7. SYSTEM VOLTAGE=220V -- CURRENT=4.18 AMP (ACTUAL CURRENT) 8. REFERENCE FORMULA: EQUIP.VOLTAGE DIVIDED BY SYSTEM VOLTAGE X EQUIP. CURRENT.

Calculate the power loss when the voltage is 120 volts and has a resistance of 230 ohms?

By Ohm's law, 120 volts across 230 ohms is 0.522 amps. By the power law, that translates to 62.6 watts. You ask about power loss. In order to answer that, you need to provide more information, such as some change in configuration, or some other component. Please review and restate your question.

Why is 170 volts coming out of a 110 volt plug outlet?

This situation could occur if there is a problem with the electrical wiring or the outlet itself. It may be necessary to contact a qualified electrician to inspect and repair the outlet and any potential wiring issues to ensure safety. Mixing up voltage levels can be hazardous and should be addressed promptly.

Why electrolytic capacitors are used for frequency response of BJT as amplifier?

It can take a lot of capacitance to present a low impedance to a low frequency. Electrolytics offer lots of capacitance for a low price.

Can an isolating transformer have a center earth tap?

I suppose it could, but then it wouldn't be purely an isolation transformer. It would then be a isolation and either step up or step down transformer.

How many turns does a transformer need to take 137V on the primary and produce 47V on the secondary with output current of 20A for a 5kVA stabilizer?

You will need a 3:1 ratio transformer. An output current of 20 amps and a secondary voltage of 47 volts, results in a transformer rated at 940 VA.

How does a ups recreate an ac sine wave?

By switching circuits or transistors that turn on and off the polarity. This usually results in a square wave output. Then capacitors charge and discharge to smooth out the square wave to resemble the AC sine wave. The better or more expensive the inverter, the closer to an actual sine wave it gets.

Calulate kw FROM single-phase voltage and ampere?

Watts = Voltage X Amperes X Power Factor Power Factor = Cosine of the Angle between Voltage and Current For purely resistive circuits, Power in Watts = Voltage X Amperes Watts divided by 1000 = kiloWatts

Will using a 2 ohm 1200 watt amplifier be ok to use with three 4 ohm speakers 12 and 2-10?

If you connect three 4 ohm speakers in parallel, the amplifier would see a load of about 1.3 ohms. This definitely could damage the amp if you drive it too loud.

Delta star transformation?

it is the mathematical analysis which shows relationship b/w various resistors connected in star or delta form's using the transformation process we can convert delta into star or viceversa

What is household circuits?

  1. household circuit are those circuit which are used in our house like electric board etc.

Will a 3 phase motor work on grounded B phase?

If the motor is connected to an ungrounded delta supply service there will be no effect on the operation of the motor. If the motor is connected to a wye system supply service and the B phase grounds out, the motor's overload protection would take the motor off line from the electrical supply.

How do you control lights using scr?

silicon controlled rectifires are like transistors,in this function.we can adjust load(lights)by adjusting bias voltage by a potentiometer(veriable resester).

ANSWER: It could be an SCR but most likely is a TRIAC that conduct both +/- of the AC cycle. These devices have the ability to conduct if a gate current is present. So some kind of delay is used to fire the triac at certain angle of the ac The delay is a resistor capacitor network where the resistor changes the RC time constant for firring

What issues can burn a three phase delta star motors?

In reality if the proper motor protection is used, no motor should burn. Even a motor that has a locked rotor will trip the heater overload protection. So the issues to be looked at that would cause a motor to burn would be, is the motor protection correctly sized? The motor must be running within the manufactures specifications and not outside the motors service factor. The supply breaker and wiring to the motor must be the correct size. The overload protection should be in mid scale of the settings. House keeping around motors is a big condition to keep a motor running within its parameters. Cooling fins and fans must be kept clean of any debris. All of this should allow a motor to run free of trouble for many years.

How do you locate a ground fault in a car. Battery goes dead when car not in use for several days?

A very common problem is a glove box or trunk light that is not turning off due to a defective or mis-adjusted switch. Try temporarily removing these two lamps and see if your problem goes away.

What is saturation in current transformer?

When the curent Is in the secundary for the highervalues Ip in the primary coil are not equal proportional than for the lower curent. Is/Ip for lower values is for exemple 100 Is/Ip for higher values are for exemple 70

The reason is the magnetique flux saturation in the closed iron core.

Does a 3 phase step up transformer placed before a rotary phase converter reduce the single phase amp draw?

No, your amp draw will not be reduced. It will actually be slightly higher because the transformer will not be 100% efficient. Contact TEMCo Phase Converters at (800) 613-2290 if you have any more questions.

How many earthquakes has there bine in lakeport?

Power factor correction capacitors?

Yes, they exist. Capacitors are often used to change a low power factor (such as 0.5) to a higher power factor near unity (1). In some instances, this will lower fees and costs to utilities. In homes, this is not really necessary as most devices used in homes are near unity power factor, or tend to be minor/sporadic loads (such as a washing machine).

Can you run 3000 watt appliance by joining wires from three 1000 watt generators?

In theory, yes, but the logistics may make it prohibitively difficult. Each generator will produce AC in its own phase and slightly different frequencies. Since joining the wires in parallel will effectively add the three amperages and preserve the highest voltage, you will get constructive and destructive interference every time the phase or frequency is not perfectly aligned. Generators tend to not hold a particularly tight tolerance in terms of frequency and phase, so within a second or two, it's just about guaranteed that at least one generator will already be out of phase with the others and cause interference (assuming you were able to line up the waves at the start). There are four possible solutions:

1. Build two phase-shift detectors/modifiers using variable capacitors/inductors that detect and react to the changing phases to ensure the phases line up with each other

2. Convert the AC to DC using a high-power rectifier bridge, add the DC sources together, then re-alternate the result using an inverter capable of alternating 3,000 watts

3. Physically connect the input shafts (the part that spins) from the three generator coils to ensure the phase/frequency is constant across all three

4. (probably the best) invest in a 3,000-watt generator

HONDA make a system for some of its smaller generators (not all of them) where there is a plug-in control cable between the two generators. This cable lines up the two generators as described above.

What unit is a Diode measured in?

Diodes are measured in terms of resistance. The formula is as follows Rd = Vd / Id. That is Resistance of the diode = voltage across the diode to current flowing throught the diode.
