It is not the Voltage that can kill humans, it is the current that kills. Humans have died at as low as 42 volts. Time is also a factor. A current of 0.1 ampere for a mere 2 seconds can be fatal. As Voltage = Current x Resistance the current depends on body resistance. Theinterna...
Most instrumentation designed for AC power measurement has an input range of several hundred Volts. Higher voltages, above 1,000 VAC, typically require an external potential transformer (PT) to step the Voltage to be measured down to a range that is compatible with most instrumentation. Similar ...
Many batteries sold today will include a three-year or 36-month warranty, although some will have warranties lasting significantly longer, such as 80 months. While it can be worth it to pay for the battery with a longer warranty, with the right care, you can increase your chances of gettin...
When radiation of high enough energy strikes anatomin the human body, it can strip away an electron. The resulting positively charged atom is called an ion, which explains why high energy radiation is called ionizing radiation. The release of the electron produces 33 electron volts (eV) of ene...
In terms of biological damage, how many rad of heavy ions are equivalent to 100 rad of x-rays? Ionizing Radiation: The energy is used to separate the electrons from the atomic and molecular bonds from the different elements like water or any living tissue, as...
This kitchen sink waste disposal unit comes with a 1 horsepower, 2800 RPM motor. It has stainless steel grinding compartments and corrosion resistant chambers. It runs on 115 volts, 60 hertz, and 7 amperes. The disposer has enough power to grind almost any type of waste materials. The high...
Too many devices plugged into the same surge protector, a short circuit in one of your devices, or extreme events, such as lightning strikes, can cause an overload or overcurrent in your protector, creating a fire risk. Some surge protectors will have circuit breakers that cut power entirely...
AN5878 Application note How to design a robust automotive CAN system Introduction Controller area network (CAN) communication bus is extremely popular in the automotive industry. On top of standalone CAN transceivers, many ASICs or SBCs embed one or several CAN transceivers. To comply with the ...
But with so many different pieces of equipment designed for different live performance needs, it can be difficult to know just what it is you should be looking for.Certainly, there are a lot of variables to consider when choosing a PA. For instance, you'll need to think about the size ...
You now know how to measure current with a digital multimeter, and also a clamp meter or USB multimeter. Along with measuring current, a multimeter can be used to measure voltage, resistance, and many other electrical parameters. Learning to use one is the gateway to understanding the world ...
