In this article, we shall discuss about grounding conductor and how to calculate right size of the grounding conductor according to the requirement What is a Grounding Conductor? A wire or conductor in an electrical system which is intentionally connected to the ground or earth is called grounding...
A smaller gauge (larger size) wire can safely conduct more electricity than a larger gauge (smaller size) wire. Decreasing the AWG size of a wire by three will double the cross-sectional area of a wire and double the amount of current it can carry. Changing the AWG size by 10 will cha...
Next determine the wire size- This may be listed in a number of ways, the most common being AWG (American Wire Gauge)(e.g. 16AWG), Cross sectional area in square mm (e.g. 1sqmm) or strand and diameter count (e.g. 32/0.2). There are plenty of tables around to help you convert...
To have a functional solar PV system, you need to wire the panels together to create an electrical circuit through which current will flow, and you also need to wire the panels to the inverter that will convert the DC power produced by the panels to AC power that can be used in your h...
To calculate voltage drop:Multiply current in amperes by the length of the circuit in feet to get ampere-feet. Circuit length is the distance from the point
Figure 2: The NI 9246 and NI 9247 modules have CTs built into the module, large over-current ratings, and accommodate up to 10AWG wire with ring lugs for higher current measurement. Direct measurements with these modules will be more accurate and with a higher frequency response than using ...
Step 4: Fourth, Pull out the magnets that are located on the sides of the inside of the motor shell. Step 5: Fifth, put the magnets back the way you took them out Step 6: Sixth, push the "U" shaped piece of metal back in ...
-- Calculate Max Power, Current, and Voltage for i = 1, 9 do print(voltage[i],current[i],voltage[i]*current[i]) if (voltage[i]*current[i] > pmax) then pmax = voltage[i]*current[i] imax = current[i] vmax = voltage[i] ...
An RCD is a device which is designed to protect property and prevent loss of life from a shock. It acts like a set of scales reading the live and neutral currents in a circuit, and stays on when the load is balanced. But a difference in load measured across both the Live and Neutral...
Learn how to calculate how many LEDs your LilyPad project can power and how long it will last. Stress Testing Now that you have chosen your power supply and connector, make sure to test your project out and observe its behavior. Depending on the manufacturer, power supplies may have varying...
