2) Define Voltage.
The work that has to be done in transferring unit positive charge from one point
to the other, measured in volts is known as potential difference.
Voltage can be defined as Electrical Potential difference, Electrical pressure or
tension.
The ratings of isolators are 20A, 32A, 40A, 63A, 80A, 100A, 125A, 160A, 200A, 250A, 315A,
400A, 500A, 630A, 800A, 1000A, 1250A, 1600A.
25) ELV Legends.
Vd = mV x I x L or mV = Vd x 1000
1000 IxL
Assume maximum permissible voltage drop = 4 per cent of 415 volts = 16.6 volts
40) Why most of home appliances were not run with AC?
Most of the home appliances were not run with AC because, Electronics cannot run directly
on AC, it needs to be rectified and filtered to provide a smooth DC to power the electronic
circuitry within the device with a constant voltage.
Movable Armature: Movable armature is a simple metal piece which is balanced on a pivot
or a stand. It helps in making or breaking the connection with the contacts connected to it.
Contacts: These are the conductors that exist within the device and are connected to the
terminals.
Yoke: It is a small metal piece fixed on a core in order to attract and hold the armature
when the coil is energized.
Spring (Optional): Few relays don’t need any spring but if it is used, it is connected to one
end of armature to ensure its easy and free movement. Instead of a spring, a metal stand
like structure can be used.
