When a protective device is in series with a load it is known as?
A common protective device used in series with a load is a fuse. More complicated ones include capacitors and other stuff that goes into surge protectors.
What type of series connection will produce a high current?
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
What is the difference between rated current In and tripped current?
"Rated current" is the current the device (motor or transformer?) is designed to handle at full load. "Tripping current" is the current where a protective device (fuse, breaker) will open to protect the device from overload/overheating. "Tripped current", may be the current the tripping device measured prior to making the decision to trip, if you are reading this from a digital protective device like a relay or OCR.
Is a load a device used for electricity?
The term "load" when used in electrical terminology is a device that uses electricity.
What type of connection produce high current?
A device with a low resistive load will produce a high current in a series circuit.
What is offload device?
an off-load device a a switch where there is no current passing through it when its switched, a isolator is a off load device, a light switch is a on-load device because there is current passing through it when its switched.
What is the name of the container used in an aircraft?
An aircraft cargo container is commonly known as a unit load device (ULD)
What does series mean in series circuit?
In a series circuit, the loads are connect much like the cars of a train, with the output of one device - a resistor, for example - connected to the input of another. With the source and all loads connected, the components will be connected together much like the links of a bracelet, with no alternate paths for current flow. If one load device becomes open, then all devices will be de-energized. This is opposed to a purely parallel circuit, where all of the load device inputs are connected to one side of the source, and all of the load device outputs are connected to the other side of the source. This provides a separate path of current flow for each load device. Should one or more load devices become open, the remaining devices will continue to function, due to the alternate current paths. In series-parallel circuits, there is a combination of both types within the same circuit. Any combination of series and parallel paths can exist within the circuit.
Why does your protective device keep tripping out?
Because something is wrong. Check for shorts and, if it is a GFCI, also check for ground faults and leakages. It is also possible, in the case of a GFCI, that an inappropriate load, such as a computer monitor or UPS, is connected. These devices pull transient power to ground and will trip a GFCI. Do not ignore the situation. The protective device is tripping for a reason.
Is A load is a device that uses electricity?
The term "load" when used in electrical terminology is a device that uses electricity.
What happens when you connect a low current device to a high current source?
The High current source otherwise known as the supply, can handle any low current device or low current load as long as the voltages are the same. The higher the Supply current or as you call the source the better for any device/load
What are the advantages of automatic load sharing of transformers?
advantages for automatic load sharing of transformer with protective analysis
