Appliances usually run on what volt circuits?
120 volts
How is electricity distributed in houses in order to supply power to appliances?
Electricity get distributed in the household through electrical circuits. The circuits distribute voltage to receptacles, light and hard wired appliances. These circuits are fed from breakers that are in the distribution panel. The distribution panel is where the utility company's service supply terminates. The distribution panel is the central location where the household circuits originate.
What are the 2 advantages of 24 Volt current?
Low voltage circuits are any circuits under 30 volts, usually 24 volts. 24 volt circuits are usually control circuits. The amount of current in these systems is usually small, under 5 amps. Since the voltage and amperage is very low, wiring can be much smaller and therefore much cheaper to install than "line" voltage wiring. Low voltage is also much safer.
How are switches in electrical circuits usually wired?
They are wired in parallel, series and series - parallel.
When two unlike air masses what usually keeps them separate?
Density differences is usually what would keep air masses separate.
What is the right circuit break to be used for lighting circuits?
Usually 15A or 20A, but it depends on the wire used.
What can prevent a short circuit?
Usually good workmanship goes a very long way to prevent short circuits.
Can you plug a motion detector light into an outlet?
Yes of course, power is power, all 110volt, what ever the source in your house (except a dryer circuit that is usually higher). The difference is the amperage of the circuit. Lighting circuits have amperage controlling breakers that are usually 15amp, power circuits are usually 20amp but excepting a very very unusual condition you would not need to worry about it.
What does a Lighting Director do?
Usually manages the lighting department - including the setup, packup, crewing and overall production of an entertainment lighting installation. They usually have little or no creative involvement in the production - this is usually the job of the lighting designer.
How many volts are there in a 200 amp panel?
I assume you are referring to a residential electric panel. The amount of amps has nothing to do with the voltage. They are independent. A typical residential electric panel will have 120 V. That is the easy answer. Usually there are two hot feeds with 120 V to ground. Between the two hot feeds will be 240 V. The bus bars are arranged in the panel so that when you plug in breakers they alternate between the feeds.
What excatly is pendant lighting?
Pendant lighting is a choice of lighting in which the lighting actually suspends from the ceiling on a wire like fixture and then is usually concealed into a pendant covering.
Minimum acceptable value of power factor FOR LIGHTING and MOTOR CIRCUITS?
Usually for a power factor lower that 90% a service charge will be added to the monthly electrical bill. On power factor correction calculations try to get the power factor up to 95%.
This type of lighting repeatedly starts and breaks?
The type of lighting that repeatedly starts and breaks is commonly called fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting is usually found in office buildings.
Appliances usually run on what volt circuits?
120 volts
Can you wire lighting fictures to receptical circuits?
Yes as long as you stay within your local code. Usually a combination of lights and receptacles cannot exceed ten total. Do not wire any light to a circuit that requires a dedicated circuit, such as a refrigerator, dishwasher, etc.
What type of circuit has little to no resistance and will usually blow a fuse?
there are three types of circuits. Series,parallel,parallel-series. Series circuits usually are involved with dimming lights, and blown fuses.
