This depends on the source. If you're using a function generator, it will be whatever the function generator is rated for. For AC power transmission, some countries operate at 50Hz, and some at 60Hz. The actual range that is allowable may be 1-2 Hz above or below the generally operated frequency. Some power plants may be very limitted so they have tripping points at say 59 and 61Hz; others may have a larger range. This is strongly dependent on the type of power plant, and the design.

Dc and ac analysis of Differential amplifier?

DC Analysis: For this analysis, frequency is made zero and the voltage of the source is increased in small steps from 0V.And the output voltage is plotted. So, finally we get a Vout vs Vin curve. AC Analysis: In this analysis, we choose an AC source. We keep the Offset voltage = 0V, AC voltage or small signal voltage = 2V (You can take any voltage you wish and it doesnt matter). So, to plot the ac response or frequency response of the circuit, increase the frequency in steps and note the output voltage. from this analysis , we can find the gain of the circuit over frequency.


How does a frequency inverter work?

A frequency converter converts alternating current of one frequency to alternating current of another frequency. Generally it's used for controlling the ac motor speed by changing the supply frequency.


Can electrical tester be used for testing both dc and ac?

AC, when you're going to test a product which cannot tolerated the power source in your home. ex. in testing a 15A bulb, you cannot test it directy to the wall plug in your home instead you use AC tester(alternate current) to convert the supply to its limit or else it will fry your bulb. DC(direct current), when you're testing a high voltage product and it can tolerated the power source from your wall plug.


What is an AC Transient response?

ac transient analysis is frequency domain analysis.


What is the difference between a voltage converter and a voltage inverter?

Converter is AC to DC. Inverter is DC to AC

What is the difference between current (DC) and alternating current (AC)?

ac comes directly from the power socket, and DC is battery source. Answer2: The frequency is the difference, AC has frequency f>0 and DC does not f=0.

What is the Difference between frequency converter and frequency inverter?

frequency is genrally cycle per second, and frequencies may be of a dc nature or ac , devices which convert dc frequency in to an ac frequency are frequency converters and devieces which convert ac frequency in to dc frequency are frequency inverters. because in terms of power electronics, devices which convert ac to dc are called converters, and devices which convert dc in to ac are called "inverters" 'mehboob hunzai" I'm a engineers in this devices, the frequency inverter is convert AC to AC but with variable frequency output, means the frequency & voltage are adjustable; The frequency converter can convert DC to AC, like 24VDC to 220VAC and also the frequency is adjustable. One most important thing is the out power of frequency inverter just can be used for controlling AC motor, while frequency converter can be treated as normal power supply as our daily using power grid.

What are applications of space vector modulation?

Because there's sparking in DC motors, they are inherently less efficient than say AC motors are, The trick with AC motors is that they run primarily at the frequency of their power source. What happens when the power source can change it's frequency and amplitude? The motor can behave as well as any DC motor.


Can a capacitor be used in the Thevenin Theorem?

Sure, but it won't mean anything unless the Thevenin source is an AC source. In that case, simply determine the frequency of the source, and draw the appropriate reactance in the circuit where the capacitor belongs. If the Thevenin source is DC, then the frequency is zero, the reactance of the capacitor is infinite, and you can show it as an open circuit, i.e. not there.


What is frequency in relation to a battery?

What is the direction of the current?

Current flows from negative to positive for DC. AC the direction changes with the sinewave. eg. AC a frequency of 60Hz the direction changes 120 times.


Which EM waves has the highest frequency?

There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have. The highest frequency waves are called gamma radiation.There is no upper limit to how much energy (and frequency) an electromagnetic wave can have.

What is the purpose of ac drive input ac chokes or reactors?

An AC drive is a device use for control AC motor speed, also knows as variable frequency drive, a reactor in an AC circuit is basically an inductor which will filter spikes in source voltage.and AC chokes are typically used as the inductive components in electronic filters. - roxas_riku
