What is a copper-constantan thermocouple?

A thermocouple is a temperature sensor made from two different types of metal. Different metal types give different sensing properties and ranges. Several standard pairs of metals are defined in industry and designated by a letter. A copper-constantan thermocouple is "Type T."

Can you substitute a 12bh7 vacuum tube for a 12ax7 or 12au7 or 12at7 or 12ay7?

All those tubes are double triodes, but their characteristics differ. This means that any of them could possible substitute another, but that would depend on the characteristics of the circuit in question.

What is the standard wire color of the negative or signal or return wire in an instrumentation Black White pair used in a DC 4 to 20mA loop?

There really is no standard color for this. Most that I have seen use the Black as the positive (+) and the white as negative (-) but I have also seen it the other way around. Just follow the convention of the plant or customer where you are working.

What systems are used to ensure that energy forms can travel long distances?

The transformation of voltage to a higher potential ensures that energy can travel long distances

How do you connect float switches for a single phase motor through contactor and Over Load Relay?

you would wire a float switch into the control circuit i.e, the contactor coil (which is relatively low current but rated at least for the control voltage,, in most cases 120VAC). also in the same circuit would be the overload contacts. if the overload trips and/or the float switch opens then voltage is removed from the contactor coil

Why does a battery gauge moves up and down while the engine is running?

A battery gauge "moves up and down" while running because of fluctuations in the voltage output of the circuit which it is connected to. This may be because of equipment on the circuit.

Will sticking a bubblegum wrapper in a power outlet break anything?

No, not unless it is the silver wrap type of gum covering and is conductive. All that will happen is the breaker will trip or the paper will burn and the circuit will open.

What processes convert electricity into a commercial grade jet fuel while sequestering atmospheric pollutant carbon at the same time?

This is impossible. Electricity is the result of electrons flowing through a conductor while jet fuel is a refined liquid byproduct of oil. As for "pollutant carbon" plants would disagree.

How do you size TVs diode?

To size a TV's diode, first determine the maximum current the TV will draw during operation, typically specified in the TV's specifications or service manual. Then, select a diode with a current rating that exceeds this value, typically by at least 1.5 to 2 times, to ensure reliability. Additionally, consider the reverse voltage rating of the diode, which should be higher than the maximum voltage the TV may encounter. It's also advisable to account for any potential voltage spikes or surges in the circuit.

Wiring diagram GE 5kcp39fg electric motor?

To find the wiring diagram for a GE 5KCP39FG electric motor, you can refer to the motor's nameplate for specific wiring information, which typically includes terminal designations. The diagram usually includes connections for power supply, capacitor (if applicable), and ground. For exact details, it's best to consult the official GE manual or technical resources, as wiring configurations can vary by model and application. If you do not have access to these resources, consider reaching out to GE support for assistance.

What is a Line Commutating Choke?

Line commutating chokes are used to smooth voltage peaks or bridge commutating dips. In effect, this reduces the effects of harmonics on the inverter and power supply. A line commutating choke is necessary to reduce current peaks if line impedance is <1%

Do receptacles that have back-wired push-in terminals accept 12 AWG conductors?

Yes, but my advice to you is don't use that method to terminate the receptacle just because it is there. The internal connection is just a spring tension holding the wire against a flat surface. That isas tight as the connection can become.

Take a bit more time and use the screw terminal. Make a hook in the wire and place it around the screw the same way as the screw turns in. This way the screw tightens the hook around the screw and the termination is the best that you an get.


Remember loose connections cause heat when under load and heat will cause premature failure of the device connected. Might as well do it right the first time.

What is the name of the device that protects a circuit from current overload?

  • It is called fuse or circuit breaker.
  • In electronics and electrical engineering, a fuse is a type of low resistance resistor that acts as a sacrificial device to provide over-current protection, of either the load or source circuit. Its essential component is a metal wire or strip that melts when too much current flows through it, interrupting the circuit that it connects. Fuses are an alternative to circuit breakers.
  • A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow.
  • Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal operation.

How do you disconnect the hour meter on a caterpillar 416E?

You can accomplish this by removing one lead from the back of the hour meter. It will be a DC voltage circuit.

Can the impulse withstand voltage be affected by altitude?

Yes. The IEC 60071.1 Std states a diminish withstand of aprox of 1% every 100mts above 1000mts. For example: for a 13.8kV system the insulation level should be of 95kV (interior). If the installation is going to be at 1,500mts then de minimum insulation level of your equipment must be: 95kv/(1-0.01*(500/100)) = 100kV BIL.

The next std value for BIL is 125kV.

What is a synchronous motor?

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.

Why is a three phase four wire distribution system used?

A three phase four wire system allows for two voltages from a single three phase transformer. The transformer configuration is a wye or star connection. It is used in commercial and industrial applications. Apartment buildings are now starting to use a three phase four wire service distribution system. Some wye connection voltages are 120/208 volts, 480/277, and 600/347. The lower voltage is derived from the sq root of 3 divided into the three phase voltage.

How long did it take to make the solar panel?

The time it takes to install your solar panels can vary anywhere from one month to up to three months depending on a number of factors. Three months probably feels like a long time, especially while your air conditioner hums in the background, gobbling up expensive energy.

Will a taser work if your body is grounded?

yes. there is no getting away from its affects. the taser gun works by atacking your muscles. the more muscle you have the harder you fall. the less muscle you have, well youll still fall. an officer can hit you in the legs and you will still feel it through your entire body.

How do you size a circuit breaker for a 75 kW generator?

To answer this question the output voltage of the generator must be stated. Breakers are sized to protect the wire that is connected to it. Wire is sized by the amperage that it can carry.

Once the voltage is stated use the following equation Amps = kW x 1000/1.73 x Volts x pf. for three phase and Amps = kW x 1000/Volts x pf. In both cases use .9 for a power factor value.

What is an octopus connection?

An octopus connection is a connection that has many connections. In electricity, these types of connections are usually avoided.
