You must set the range so that the maximum value is greater than the conventional voltage levels in your house. Like, in the United States, the common voltage level is 120 volts RMS, although many homes are equipped with 240-volt service, to accommodate certain appliances, like clothes dryers. (The 240-volt service is really two 120-volt legs.) It's a good idea to set the range higher than expected initially.

Can you run 125v air conditioner on 120v house current?

Yes ,it's the same voltage.You have a +-5% of voltage range


How many volts make up electricity?

If you use the definition of electricity as; The supply of electric current to a house or other building for heating, lighting, or powering appliances, then any voltage will fit into this range.


What is meant by Voltage Transducer?

A transducer converts a form of energy to another form (usually voltage). e.g. A Current Transducer would read a current, and output a range of voltage that's related to the current. A voltage transducer is used when the voltage is too high or too low to be detected. A voltage transducer essentially transforms the voltage signal to something readable (e.g. Transforming 0~1000V to 0~5V)


What is the difference between bell push buttons and light switches?

The difference between bell push buttons and light switches is the voltage and current that they can legally handle. Bell push buttons are used on low voltage systems, usually up to 24 VAC and a current in the milliamp range. Light switches operate in the range from 120 to 347 VAC and a range from 15 to 30 amps.


Where do you set the dial when you are measuring resistance on house current?

YOU DO NOT "measure resistance on house current".You never measure resistance of anything that has any path to any source ofpower ... not to a wall outlet, a battery, a windmill, a solar panel, etc. You onlymeasure resistance when all power is REMOVED from the circuit or componentyou're measuring. Then, the range you choose for the ohmmeter depends onthe component or circuit you're measuring, NOT on how it's powered when it'sturned on.

An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?

1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I


What instrument measures electrical earth resistance?

A multimeter device can measure resistance, current, AC/DC voltage, and it also can determine continuity on an electrical circuit, and its range for current, voltage and resistance is widely variable.

How do you measure voltage?

Voltage can be measured using the difference between the potentiel between two ends of wire or by using a volt-meter. You can easily measure volt by volt or multimeter but remember voltage always measure across the components but in parallel


How do you test a Switched mode power supply using analog multimeter?

A: A VOM can measure the voltage across the load. To test the current if the current surpasses the VOM range just add a very small resistor in series with the load and use ohms law to find the current since you have the voltage drop.


Why you must put at highest range when you measure current or voltage?

You start at the highest range, because you don't want to damage the meter. You then bring the range selector down, incrementally, until the reading is in the lower, most accurate portion of the scale.


Will a fan requiring 230 volts ac run on normal house current?

Yes if the house supply is 220-240 volts. The required voltage range should be printed somewhere on the fan.


Is 122 volts for a house high?

No, 122 volts for a house is not high. It is a nominal figure in the same 120 voltage range. It is brought about by the power company, as they have a responsibility to keep voltages within a certain 10% range. The load will only notice a difference of 1% on the load current. e.g. Wattage load of 2400. Amps = watts/volts. 2400/240V = 10 amps. 2400/220V = 10.9 amps. On a constant resistance as the voltage goes lower, the current goes higher and vice versa as the voltage goes higher, the current goes lower.


It states how much change occurs in the output voltage over a certain range of load current values.Select one:a.Line Regulationb.Load Regulationc.Voltage Regulationd.Output change?

The correct term for the given description is "Load Regulation." Load Regulation refers to the measure of how much the output voltage of a device changes when the load current varies over a specific range. It quantifies the ability of the device to maintain a stable output voltage despite changes in the load.

Why you use constant current source?

What follows below is not a full description. Full descriptions are in chapters of books about electronic power supplies.A constant current source is an electronic device which acts as a source of power whereby, however the load resistance changes - within a certain fixed range - the device is designed to monitor the output current drawn from it and will change its output voltage to keep the output current constant within a certain fixed range.Another answerA constant current source will provide constant current with a load if the load changes the volts will change to compensate for the constant current flowing. Which is just opposite to a constant voltage source whereby a load change will change the current but not the voltage. And that how it works.
