If you wanted to actually reduce a voltage for classic bulbs you would need a vacuum cleaner size transformer to withstand a couple hundred watts - pretty much a welder hahaha well if it only have 2 modes then it could make run your bulbs in series to divide the voltage instead

I may have missed it, but does a meter show a drop in voltage? Or does it stay at 120v the entire time?
@FFSeiler
@FFSeiler 5 ай бұрын
Yes, the effective voltage your meter would show is reduced. The point of the demo was to show that rather than reducing the amplitude of the full sine wave like an autotransformer or rheostat would, it is done by clipping part of each half-cycle of the voltage sine wave,

This is a great video explaining how the contactor works. I have a similar contactor, three phase star configuration. After having a new service installed in the building, the starter question does not operate the compressor as it did when it was hooked up to the original service of the building. I noted that the magnetic coil runs at 208 V. I am under the impression that line one with line to combined using the equation 1.723 makes 208 V to operate this starter coil. All the heaters are working perfectly along with the reset reset button and the push in button to check motor rotation direction. The contactor contact points are in perfect condition. I was wondering if I connect line one and line 2 together I will get the necessary voltage required to fully power up the magnetic coil. Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

On Question 8, shouldn't we be using the line for 10 appliances total instead of the line for 5 appliances twice? It would give a smaller final number due to diversity.

The branch circuit conductor and overcurrent device may be sized to this table. See Note 4 of the Table 220.55. Also 210.19(A)(3) gives minimum size of circuit as 40A. eg. 12kW range gives 8kW demand = 33.3A. Install on a 40 A circuit.

Notice that you calculate the short circuit current using either the rated voltage or the rated current of the secondary. That should give you a hint that the SC current you are calculating is on the secondary side of the transformer.

When electricians that say a dimmer reduces the amount of voltage the bulbs receive, they are Exactly Right! To be precise, they should say the 'RMS voltage' which is for layman the working voltage fed to a resistive load. Any quality voltmeter that can read AC True RMS Voltage will measure the voltage reduction as you vary the Dimmer. Just because the dimmer voltage waveform is strange looking to a novice, doesn't change the fact that this strange waveform shape does not represent a reduction in supplied voltage to the bulbs. Look into any Engineering Calculus II book under Integrals and then look up 'RMS'. Experienced engineers can look at this familiar TRIAC / DIAC circuit voltage waveform and give you a good approximation of the reduced bulb RMS voltage provided by the dimmer.

Why light flickering is absent while dimming? The oscilloscope clearly shows the pulses...
@FFSeiler
@FFSeiler Жыл бұрын
The frequency (60 Hz) remains unchanged. It is faster than the human eye can detect flicker in a filament lamp. Also with an incandescent light bulb, the glowing filament dampens any flickering effect even at lower frequencies. It is similar to our eyes perceiving continuous motion even at 24 or 30 frames per second for video.

Kinda sucks considering that’s the hardest part of the test and the time constrictions suck. They also changed the qualifiers for taking the exam. Work experience is no longer considered unless you participate in state sanctioned Electrical education or a few years of an apprenticeship program or a combo of both. Before, 5 years of on-the-job experience was enough. I’m in NJ by the way and PSI does our testing.

I have a question that I have been provided the answer but each time I attempt to solve, my calculation is approximately 5A less. What is the demand load, in amps, for a single circuit supplying one wall-mounted oven rated 11.75kW, 1Ø, 240V and a countertop cooking unit rated at 9.6kW, 1Ø, 240V? The answer given is 48.33A.
@inw-training
@inw-training Жыл бұрын
The given answer is correct. Second half of note 4 applies. Add the two units together and treat them as one. That gives a total of 21.35kW. Note 1 tells us to increase the Column C value by 5 percent for every major fraction of more than 12 kW. --> .35 is not a major fraction so we have 9 kW more than 12. That means that we take the value in column C for one unit (8kW) plus 9 times 5%. or mathematically that turns into 8kW times 1.45 = 11.6kW. At 240V that is 48.33A

No, thankfully not. It uses a proportional amount. A little is lost due to heating of the switching electronics.

In that I will also talk about power consumption.

@FFSeiler
@FFSeiler Жыл бұрын
Well you have to complete the circuit for it to work. I am assuming you have a 208V coil. If so, you would go from the O/L contact back to L2 at the top of the starter. If your coil voltage is 120 then you either need to swap out the coil or use a step down control transformer. My setup had a seperate 120V control power source. If you have the original starter enclosure there should be a duagram in it also. Hope that helps.
